Daphne Guinness for Nars Cosmetics

This Fall, Nars Cosmetics will release their new beauty collection and campaign muse, Daphne Guinness. This has been a long-standing lovefest between M. Nars and Ms. Guinness (their last collaboration was for his photography project 15 x 15) and this latest collaboration embodies the best for both icons. She, with her love all things fashionable yet oh-so unpredictable and he, for his love of the dynamic color and makeup artistry, and the maestro who introduced some of the best makeup products, well, ever.

Of the collaboration: François Nars tells WWD “She fits the image of the brand so well. She’s very creative and elegant and is a chameleon. And she really loves makeup — the whole process of it. Any makeup artist dreams of having someone like that as a muse.”

There will be an eye shadow ( an exotic violet ) simply named Daphne to be unveiled as part of the new collection set to release this September. I hear that there is a stand alone store to come as well ( in NYC’s west Village, right next door to his pal, Marc Jacobs). So for those lucky girls who live in the city, stay tuned and I will keep you posted on that opening. For those who are living far and wide, you will be able to get the new Daphne Guinness inspired beauty collection at all major department stores nationwide.
