Beauty news: Olympia Le-Tan partners with Maison Lancôme

If you remember how much of a hit designer Olympia Le-Tan’s beautiful, limited edition makeup-filled minaudière for beauty giant Lancôme was a few years ago, then this news will come as no surprise… Maison Lancôme has just released a press update saying it is delighted to announce another, new collaboration with Le-Tan that will undoubtedly also be equally as gorgeous! 

This September, the cerebral Parisian fashion designer will join Lancôme in disclosing a “sexy, vintage and glamorous” make-up collection that will definitely appeal to lovers of Gallic style out there. 

The limited edition collaboration marks the latest chapter in Lancôme's long history of partnering with names in the fashion world, all of which have been completely unique. After Alber Elbaz, Yiqin Ying, Alexandre Vauthier, Jacquemus, Anthony Vaccarello and, more recently, Sonia Rykiel, it is Olympia Le-Tan's turn to express, for Lancôme, her feisty vision of women. 

Tremendously retro yet far from nostalgic, Olympia Le-Tan's fashion celebrates a free, sexy and original femininity. This technicolour, surreal, poetic and iconoclast universe is symbolised in her hand-embroidered minaudières, the definite must-haves for Parisian women and those seeking inspiration from them. 

"Olympia Le-Tan designs combine poetry and joie de vivre. A bridge between different eras, they reflect the spirit of our time, celebrating the free and personal beauty of each woman—a take on happiness shared by Lancôme," says Françoise Lehmann, General Manager of Lancôme International. 

This exclusive collection will be available at points of sale from September 2017 and I for one, am pretty damn excited.
