After Karl Lagerfeld for Shu Uemura, it is now the turn for Alber Elbaz to try his hand at make-pup. The designer, who has been at the helm of Parisian fashion house Lanvin since 2001, will launch his first make-up collection on 15 June in collaboration with Lancôme.

"Alber Elbaz is, without a doubt, one of the world's most influential fashion designers. But beyond that, he is also the most talented," explains Youcef S. Nabi, Lancome President. "His sense of luxury, his vision of femininity and that hint of audacity resonate perfectly with the new values of the Maison Lancome. We are extremely proud and happy that, with us, he is set to channel his universe into the world of make-up for the very first time."
