I IMAGINE A WOMAN THAT IS CONFIDENT, SOPHISTICATED AND ELEGANT; INTELLECTUAL BUT STILL DARING. SHE’S COMPLETELY UNAPOLOGETIC- MY FAVOURITE KIND OF WOMAN! - LUCIA PICA.
Chanel Beauty Creative Director Lucia Pica
“I imagine her as confident, sophisticated and elegant; intellectual but still daring. She’s completely unapologetic- my favourite kind of woman!” Duality is bedrock to every collection by Lucia Pica, whose strategy of pairing products with contrasting visual effects serves to bring depth, emotion and modernity to the face. In the Autumn-Winter Collection, a reimagined conception of matte is expressed via new translucent, moist finishes that nourish the skin rather than mask it. Their delicacy is em-
boldened by a rich palette of earthy shades, coloured tones and vivid reds, which is further intensified by the light-absorbing textures. Impactful and courageously contemporary, the crowning touch of this collection is its take on the classic black Chanel packaging, which comes as elegantly matte as the contents inside. “In autumn and winter, you’re more covered up, wearing more clothes perhaps. So, you get to play with colour once again, to bring the face back into prominence.” – Lucia Pica. VELVET Fall 2018
