François Nars, founder and creative director of the beauty brand that bears his name, is celebrating the company’s 15th anniversary with a new book.
Combining two of his favourite things, beauty products and photography, the book, named ‘15×15′, features portraits of 15 famous faces – including Marc Jacobs, Naomi Campbell, Isabella Rossellini, Daphne Guinness and Amber Valleta – all made up with Nars products.
With each image created to represent an iconic image or person, Nars did both the make-up and the photography for the 15th anniversary book himself.
“When you do something for 15 years, you want to do something fun but still a nice piece of work. Plus, the Nars brand people wanted me to do something to remind people I’m still here,” Nars told WWD.
Browsing through the images – all of which are brilliantly creative – my favourite has to be the Marc Jacobs portrait. The designer poses in false lashes and red lipstick, with tomato-red nails and cartoon-esque tattoo drawings in a Richard Avedon inspired shoot.
The book is set to sell from mid-November for 30 days only at 15×15project.com.
