Haute Vanity

“Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder”, philosopher Plato once famously said, and we could not get our eyes off the one of a kind designs from one of the world’s leading designers that had changed the game of fashion, from McQueen’s “Armadillo” shoes to Alaïa’s laser-cut technique. L’Officiel India, never does the ordinary, so we collaborated with illustrator Camille Pfister to interpret these designer products into guilty vanity pleasures.

These four hairbrushes are inspired by the “Karlito” collection from Fendi. The signature tie and fur look are transformed into makeup brushes. The main colours remain black and white - Karl's favourites – and the pops of colours add a little spice into the product.

Inspired from the iconic wrapped dress created by Diane Von Furstenberg, these nail polish bottles represent a woman wearing one. The color of the polish is taken from one of the colours of her iconic dresses.

Yves Saint Laurent created the Mondrian dress for his Fall/Winter 1965 collection. Fifty years later, this timeless design inspired me to create a mascara product. The five primary colours that compose it offer a range of different shades.

The pearl chain, dear to Coco Chanel and the emblematic black and white combination, is the inspiration behind this hairbrush. Pearls embellish the handle, the border of the comb and the end of the bristles.

The laser cut technique of the Alaïa House is the starting point of these lipsticks. On the bottom of the packaging, the embossed pattern design is coloured, whereas the motif is engraved on the translucent cap.

The "Armadillo" perfume is a reference to the famous shoes from the Plato's Atlantis Spring 2010 collection by Alexander McQueen. The iridescent colours and the translucent cap are a homage to the underwater world.
