Two French fashion superbrands are teaming up on a make-up collaboration, due for launch in August 2016.<\/p>\n

Paris’s Left Bank has long been a creative and artistic hub – the Paris of Picasso and Matisse, Hemingway and Wharton\u2026 and of Sonia Rykiel, whose new make-up collaboration with Lanc\u00f4me pays tribute to the bohemian and colourful spirit of the brand’s birthplace.<\/p>\n
Due to launch in August of this year, the new make-up collection is described by Lanc\u00f4me as “full of colour, resolutely joyful with genuine freedom of tone inspired by the spirit of Saint-Germain-des-Pr\u00e9s”. Lanc\u00f4me has previously collaborated with the likes of Anthony Vaccarello, Alber Albaz and Jason Wu, whilst Rykiel has designed capsule collections for H&M.<\/p>\n
“Sonia Rykiel is the ultimate incarnation of a certain idea of the Parisian. A woman who cultivates her joyfully emancipated freedom and refuses the imposed choice of depth or lightness, a woman who is simultaneously seductive and in love,” said Fran\u00e7oise Lehmann , managing director of Lanc\u00f4me International. “It is the ‘Saint-Germain spirit’, the idea of happiness in one’s own image, actively constructed every day.”<\/p>\n
Playfulness, colour and spirit, then, is what we can be sure of – just look at Rykiel’s spring\/summer 2016 collection for clues.<\/p>\n
“In Lanc\u00f4me I see the free and joyful Rykiel woman who makes her own choices,” explained Julie de Libran, artistic director of Sonia Rykiel. “A beauty that is sometimes natural, sometimes sophisticated but never subjected to diktats. Our two houses share a modern vision of femininity which, I believe, is tangible for today’s women.”<\/p>\n
