NARS GUY BOURDIN exhibition and the gifting collection was launched recently with dressed up with glamour, intrigue and allure. Guy Bourdin revolutionized fashion photography with unconventional narratives and overt sexuality. His relentless rule-breaking ways, captured in spellbinding editorials and campaigns, served as the apex of the sexually charged fashion photography of the 1970s. Today, Guy Bourdin continues to be both an inspiration to and a favorite of designers, photographers, art directors, stylists, and tastemakers.
As a child, NARS Founder and Creative Director François Nars discovered Bourdin’s work in the pages of French Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar; it was then that Nars was first inspired to become a makeup artist. “The colors in his photographs are like an artist’s palette,” says Nars. Years later, Nars would create a revolution of his own, daring to tell women that when it comes to makeup, “There are no rules.” François Nars has honored Bourdin’s lasting influence in multiple collections, with colors, shade names, and campaign imagery taking inspiration from the photographer and his work.
Now, Nars celebrates Bourdin’s legacy with an entire collection created in the spirit of Guy Bourdin: bold, uncompromising color and high-impact finishes in shades that launch us into his intriguing, high-fashion world. For Holiday 2013, Bourdin’s influence is present in all as aspects of the limited edition collection from products to packaging, colors and shade names.
