Fashion Clouds in Harper's Bazaar

For the September issue of Harper's Bazaar, executive editor Laura Brown commissioned Dutch "cloud artist" Berndnaut Smilde. Smilde created indoor clouds for a photo-shoot with iconic designers Karl Lagerfeld, Stefano Gabbana and Domenico Dolce, Donatella Versace and Alber Elbaz. The designers had to talk about their experience and answer on how they felt about clouds and fashion and dreams. Karl Lagerfeld, who was photographed by Simon Procter, was really inspired, calling the formations "the most beautiful installations of ever-changing abstract modern art in movement." But the really important question, what do you wear with a cloud? "I would not wear black-and-white," Lagerfeld said. "Silver would be great too, or an elegant pink. But no gold — too shiny. Leave it to the sun."

Alber Elbaz for Lancome

Back in January, Lancôme announced that it was collaborating on a makeup collection with Alber Elbaz and now it is finally launched. The collection focuses solely on eyes, which was Elbaz’s decision. “I spend my time backstage at the Lanvin shows, and when I come out at the end, all I see are people’s eyes,” Elbaz told. His inspiration was the shape of the iconic Hypnose mascara containers which reminded him of a woman’s figure. 

There aren’t any new colors or products in this collection since what Lanvin's artistic director did was a restyle in Lancôme's four leading mascaras and classic Lancôme palettes and mascaras. He created four different designs–Star, Doll, Drama, and Definicils–which correspond to the brand’s popular mascara names. Elbaz has added a personal touch to the collection by launching fake eyelashes that come in an illustrated box.
