Sheer Genius

As I mentioned a few weeks back, designer Thakoon Panichgul is the latest designer to collaborate with Lancôme to create a Pout-à-Porter lipstick. The new lip color was unveiled on September 7th at the Thakoon Spring 2008 fashion show in New York.

Lancôme Artistic Director Gucci Westman describes her inspiration as, “a Japanese girl in Kauai—kind of a surfer look, but much more refined. Thakoon wanted something translucent in a cooler tone—not too light, not too bright. I picked up on the fuchsia from some of the clothes and decided to go with a stain effect. to get the right shade, I started with a beige undertone to neutralize any redness in the lip. Then I added a fleshy, pink tone and mixed it with a blue fuchsia. It’s a creamy stain—not a matte, dry one—with an almost satiny finish. I love that it’s a totally fresh, uncomplicated lip for spring.”

All the models in the designer's show wore the new shade, however they were definitely lacking in diversity – so I can’t say for sure that Thakoon’s contribution to the Pout-à-Porter project will be flattering to all complexions.

The limited-edition lipstick, which has yet to be named, will make its debut in stores in early 2008.
