Lancome Colour Designs Awards & Fashion Show / Paris, France

WHEN MAKE-UP IS AN INSPIRATION FOR FASHION

Since 2001, Lancome has been celebrating the alliance between needle and thread and compact powder with a
competition designed to pay tribute to creation and talent.

The competition works with the revolutionary simplicity of a little black dress: turning make-up into a
source of inspiration for fashion. How? By offering students from the most prestigious design schools
in the world the chance to interpret Lancome's Spring/Summer make-up collection. Their challenge:
reinterpreting the collection's textures, colours and spirit in three pieces.

LANCOME CELEBRATES CREATIVITY

In 2001, the Lancome Colour Designs Awards were inaugurated in London at the world famous Central Saint
Martin's College of Art and Design. The competition has since travelled the globe. Toronto, Beijing,
Amsterdam, Seoul, Tel Aviv, Kuala Lumpur, Tokyo, Sydney and of course Paris, one major capital city
after another has played host to the event.

In every country, the students are briefed on the Spring/Summer make-up collection. After an initial selection
based on preliminary sketches and four months of high-precision work, the candidates present their
mini-collections to a jury of designers, journalists and fashion icons. They then showcase their designs
in a catwalk show and three prizes are attributed to reward their vision and expertise : Colour and
Texture, Innovation and Modern Femininity.
