The bow collection

“One should always be tempted to untie a woman’s clothes” - Yves Saint Laurent.
A symbol of feminity and the love that Monsieur Yves Saint Laurent had for women, the bow – be it demure or sexy, a velvet loop or a satin tie – has woven its way through his collections.

Here, gracefully placed at the small of the back. There, tied around the neck in a protective, airy gesture to veil a lovely décolleté in transparent chiffon. Or just there, on the hip to highlight the endless length of a leg.

For the holidays, the delightful BOW COLLECTION reinterprets the symbol and pays tribute to the Couturier, to this collusion that is so very much like love. With a look created by Val Garland, Artistic Advisor for Yves Saint Laurent Make-up, the sparkling, mischievous eyes of Coco Rocha are hidden behind a thick fringe of hair and her laughing lips are defined with an intense, plumping lipstick. Irresistibly playful, she impatiently waits for the festivities to begin, with a finger poised on the bow of the black satin ribbon tied around her neck.

THE BOW COLLECTION, festive and colorful, unveils two “must-have” accessories – the DUO LIP COLOUR PALETTE and the MULTI-USAGE MAKE-UP PALETTE. 
The lip palette is a matte gold butterfly adorned with a sparkling bow presenting two festive lip colours (raspberry red and tender pink gloss) when it opens its wings. 
The make-up palette is a much coveted black velvet pouch with a black satin bow and it holds an essential, round-the-clock palette for the eyes, lips and face. 

In addition, the collection includes three limited edition creations: the 4 COLOUR EYE SHADOW presents endless variations on the ‘smoky eye’ theme; the TOUCHE D’OR GOLDEN TOUCH FOR THE FACE is a pen-brush that releases an iridescent, luminous veil of golden peach on the face; and a TOUCHE ÉCLAT COLLECTOR.

The most beautiful way to start an evening.
