Maison Lancôme is collaborating with Sonia Rykiel for its Fall 2016 make-up collection.

Julie de Libran, Artistic Director of Sonia Rykiel, said, “In Lancôme I see the free and joyful Rykiel woman who makes her own choices…A beauty that is sometimes natural, sometimes sophisticated but never subjected to diktats. Our two houses share a modern vision of femininity which, I believe, is tangible for today’s women.”

Françoise Lehmann, managing director of Lancôme International, added, “Sonia Rykiel is the ultimate incarnation of a certain idea of the Parisian. A woman who cultivates her joyfully emancipated freedom and refuses the imposed choice of depth or lightness, a woman who is simultaneously seductive and in love. It is the ‘Saint-Germain spirit’, the idea of happiness in one’s own image, actively constructed every day.”

The limited edition Sonia Rykiel x Lancôme collection will be available at points of sale from August 2016.
