As you lovely readers know, I made an appearance on Telemundo NY last Friday to discuss swimsuit trends — and, in particular, the rising popularity of one-piece swimsuits (a huge relief for many of us who, after having children, never feel quite comfortable baring our midriffs — no matter how thin or toned we might be).
As geographical boundaries become more fluid, largely due to the changing media landscape and the quick growth of social media outlets, we’re all, consciously or not, constantly engaging in a cross-cultural dialogue and becoming better informed about the customs, languages, art forms, cuisine, music, typical fashions and beauty traditions of people in far-off lands.
Merging the realms of fashion and beauty, Lancôme enlisted three Parisian haute couture designers — Yiqing Yin, Alexandre Vauthier, and Jacquemus — to create their unique interpretations of a luxury makeup bag, one that could double as a luxury clutch and which could house three key Lancôme products: the L’Absolu Rouge Lipcolor, the Hypnôse Eye Palette, and the Hypnôse Star Mascara.

Your eyeshadow palettes, finishing powders, blushes, lipsticks, and lip glosses likely come in sleek compacts, cases, and tubes with intricate etchings, near-sculptural ridges, embossed details, screen-printed images, and maybe even gem-like embellishments, so why would you tuck these perfectly packaged cosmetics inside a ratty or simply unremarkable makeup bag?
