Supermodels Marisa Berenson, Jerry Hall, and Pat Cleveland recently reconvened, not in some type of seventies showdown, but in celebration of MAC Cosmetics upcoming makeup collection, which pays homage to fashion illustrator Antonio Lopez. Known as ‘Antonio’s Girls’, the three women were often painted by the celebrated artist for work featured in Elle, Harper’s Bazaar, and Vogue during the disco era. Lopez is even credited with discovering Hall…..
His artwork influenced the entire fashion industry, and cemented ’60s, ’70s and most notably the ’80s style in our minds. In honor of his memory and his stamp on the world, MAC will translate some of Lopez’s iconic works into a limited edition collection.
The collection will include two face palettes centered on rich shades of pink and coral. The Antonio Lopez Coral Face Palette includes the gold and pink pearlized iridescent aptly named ‘Star’; a coral blush ‘Passion for Color’; and ‘Smooth Harmony’, a mid-level golden bronze powder. As for The Antonio Lopez Pink Face Palette, a bronze iridescent powder, ‘Belighful; a blue-based blush named ‘Pure Femininity’; and ‘Peaceful’ a peach powder.
There was a magic to his world and a time in history that hasn’t been recaptured; I think people are lusting after that glamour, which is difficult to come by today.
To update the look, the makeup powerhouse has selected six of his drawings and emblazoned them on lip, eye, and face palettes, plus makeup bags and accessories. “Our collection with Antonio Lopez is symbolic of a time when indulgence was at its peak,” explains James Gager, creative director of MAC Cosmetics. It all drops in September, but click ahead for a sneak peek.
