This Summer brings together a piece of Fashion and Beauty History, with the collaboration of Charlotte Tilbury and legendary fashion photographer Norman Parkinson, for a New Summer Makeup collection. Charlotte Tilbury had always been fascinated and inspired by Parkinson’s work and jumped at the offer from Parkinson’s grandson Jake to visit his archive of over 750,000 negative and 3,000 original prints. This visit lead to the idea of creating a limited edition line in homage to Norman Parkinson’s work.
“It is a dream come true to feature his images on this series of compacts and makeup bags. It is something that I never thought would be possible, to feature so many iconic images on my products. I’m so proud of how each piece looks – like covetable vintage compacts that you can be proud to use in public. The makeup bags are like carrying around a mini piece of art in the clutch of your hands. With the collaboration of the archive, we knew that we would honour Parkinson in the best light possible. I’m incredibly proud to be celebrating one of the fashion greats in this way, and bringing his work to life for a new millennial generation.” Charlotte Tilbury
A few items in the collection includes a creamy Sun Tan Bronzer, Dreamy Glow Highlighter, Lip and Cheek Glow, Matte Revolution Lipstick, and 2 makeup bags, all featuring gorgeous iconic images from Norman Parkinson.
The Charlotte Tilbury x Norman Parkinson collection will be available from June 29, 2015 at CharlotteTilbury.com, from July 9, 2015 at Bergdorf Goodman, BergdorfGoodman.com and from July 23, 2015 at Nordstrom, Nordstrom.com, Net-a-Porter.com and BeautyLish.com.
