Estée Lauder Brand Signs Tom Pecheux

Marta — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 16:27:38 +0000

The flagship brand of The Estée Lauder Companies, Inc., today named world-renowned makeup artist Tom Pecheux Creative Makeup Director. A favorite of top photographers, stylists and fashion editors around the world for his sophisticated take on Parisian glamour, Pecheux will work closely with the Estée Lauder brand to help set artistic direction for the next generation of Estée Lauder makeup and communicate his point of view on modern beauty to consumers, press and fashion and beauty influencers.

Tom Pecheux

We are incredibly excited to partner with Tom Pecheux,” said Jane Hertzmark Hudis, Global Brand President, Estee Lauder. “Tom will add a new energy, style and fashion edge to Estee Lauder makeup. His intuitive sense of color and expertise in global beauty trends will help us redefine modern color in a bold new way.” Beginning in Spring 2010, new, high-impact color products influenced by Pecheux will appear at Estee Lauder counters. Pecheux’s makeup artistry will be featured in new advertising campaigns with Estee Lauder model Hilary Rhoda.

Pecheux began his career three decades ago by assisting the legendary makeup artist Linda Cantello but it was through his close creative relationships with Mario Testino and Carine Roitfeld at the start of the 1990s that Pecheux established himself as a leading force in makeup. Philosophically, Pecheux believes that make-up should flatter rather than conceal or embellish.

“It’s a great privilege to work with the Estee Lauder brand,” said Pecheux. “We are both dedicated to making women look and feel beautiful. I know this will be a great creative partnership.” Throughout his career, Pecheux has consistently worked with the finest fashion photographers, including Mario Testino, Patrick Demarchelier, Craig McDean, Peter Lindbergh, and Inez Van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin. He has also created striking runway looks for leading fashion houses including Marni, Ralph Lauren, Derek Lam, Givenchy, Balmain, Yves Saint Laurent and Jean-Paul Gaultier.

Pecheux is a regular contributor to top fashion magazines, including Vogue (Italy, Paris and U.S. editions), Vanity Fair and V magazine. He has also created memorable advertising campaigns for Michael Kors, Burberry, Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana, Versace, Givenchy, Balmain and Yves Saint Laurent.

Marta — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 17:53:13 +0000

Vanessa Paradis Named the New Face of CHANEL Lipstick: In 1992, Vanessa Paradis whistled and displayed her skills as an acrobat, lending her youthful grace and already exceptional personality to the Coco fragrance. In 2003, in front of Karl Lagerfeld’s camera, Vanessa became the muse of the Cambom handbags. In 2010, Vanessa’s modern elegance, boldness of character and power of emotion will unite with a range of lipsticks with an evocative name: Rouge COCO de CHANEL. The special relationship thus continues, with consistency and modernity.

Bobbi Brown Extreme Party Mascara

Marta — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 19:35:42 +0000

This November, Bobbi Brown introduces her new Extreme Party Mascara – the first ever all-day layer-able mascara!

“For women who want the dramatic look of false lashes without the hassle.” – Bobbi Brown

Why is it different? Thanks to Bobbi’s new “re-activation” formula, each new coat of Extreme Party Mascara remains as clean and buildable as the first- whether you choose to go bolder right away or ten hours later.

- Between fresh coats, lashes stay separated and soft.
- Lashes continue to get thicker and bolder without clumping or flaking every time you want to layer on more volume and length.
- Tapered, two-fiber brush grabs even small, hard-to-reach lashes.
- Dries fast to a smudge-proof, flake-proof finish.
- Enriched with Vitamins A, C and E.
- Ophthalmologist and dermatologist-tested. Safe for contact wearers.
- Removes easily with eye makeup remover or face soap and water.

Extreme Party Mascara will be available in black from www.bobbibrown.com and Bobbi Brown counters beginning November 2009.
