Coming Soon: Viktor & Rolf for Shu Uemura Lashes


How deliciously decadent are these lashes?

Shu Uemura partnered with Viktor & Rolf, the avant-garde designers of the moment, to create their first ever "couture" lashes.

"Shu Uemura eyelashes are almost a fashion accessory and we like that. It’s something you can play with and transform yourself. This appeals to us because the idea of transformation is really important in our own work and in our philosophy." – Viktor & Rolf

Rhombus (top)
A glance with a certain message, directed to a certain someone is like a precious diamond, something to be treasured.

Wing (middle)
These lashes were created with the concept of the eye becoming a dove, the delicate miniature wings give the eyes an expression of bewilderment, enchantment. The mind wanders and airborne. A messenger of hope.

Swirl (bottom)
The swirl lash is an instant smile, the blink of an eye, a moment of attraction between the wearer and the person who was lucky enough to steal a glance. If ever a statement was true: a moment can last forever.

I don’t know about you, but I’m going to snatch up a pair of these falsies (works of art, really), save them 'til Halloween, and build an entire costume around them.

The limited-edition Viktor & Rolf for Shu Uemura lashes ($95 each) will be available at Shu Uemura boutiques, select retailers and shuuemura-usa.com beginning September 2008.
