Illamasqua Art Of Darkness Collection


"Deep in an enchanted forest, the scene is set for a sumptuous feast. The chosen have arrived. Where this night will end no one knows. Not even death is inevitable. 

Lured by the promise of immortality, a host of fantastical beings try their hand at creating the ever-elusive Elixir of Life. The resulting potions dazzle the eye and ensnare the senses, a beautiful array of jewel-like substances. They may not deny mortality, but they do make the theatre of life a more colourful stage on which to play.

It’s a melting pot of individuals, where ideas are exchanged, and new ones created. A surreal gathering from which the guests might never awake. Which is why this night can never end, and the game must be played for eternity.

So take your place at the table and let the banquet begin.

This is Art of Darkness."

Nars Holiday 2010 Collection




Behind the NARS Cosmetics Collection with François NARS


Dramatic. Decadent. Electrifying and mysterious. NARS’ Holiday 2010 Color Collection is brazenly mesmerizing. François Nars, Founder and Creative Director, chose the enchanting Daphne Guinness to echo the season’s perfect balance of rich metallics, soft pastels, and modern neutrals.


Q&A WITH FRANÇOIS NARS

Why did you choose Daphne Guinness for the Holiday 2010 campaign?
“I chose Daphne because she is very sophisticated… her attitude toward fashion, her grace, creativity, eccentricity... I could keep going! She is not afraid of going as far as you can take her.”

When photographing Daphne, what direction did you give her?
“She is always so much fun to photograph – very sweet and vivacious. I didn’t have to give her any direction. Just to be herself, being Daphne Guinness.”

Why did you want to create the Okinawa Trio Eyeshadow?
“I always try to push the envelope, and create products women will love. Since our Duo Eyeshadows have been so popular, it was only natural to take it to the next level. I love the way the three colors come together in the palette – I’ve always had a passion for art – it reminds me of a Rothko painting.”

What mood did you want to convey when photographing Daphne?
“I wanted the image to look very mysterious, elegant and glamorous. Daphne is a living piece of art and I wanted to show her many, many times over.”
