Louis Vuitton is Launching a Makeup Line + More Beauty News

Louis Vuitton announces its first-ever makeup line, La Beauté Louis Vuitton

Louis Vuitton may be renowned for its leather goods and luxurious apparel, but beauty has always been part of the house’s DNA. The very first Louis Vuitton handbags were designed to hold everyday necessities like cosmetics, and the brand’s archives are filled with exquisitely crafted travel cases, powder compacts, and mirrors from the ‘20s. Expanding upon its storied relationship with beauty, Louis Vuitton is launching a makeup brand called La Beauté Louis Vuitton, later this fall.

The maison has appointed none other than Dame Pat McGrath, the iconic makeup artist, to lead the creative direction of this new métier. “Working backstage for over 20 years at Louis Vuitton fashion shows, I am thrilled to now play such a key role in the launch of La Beauté Louis Vuitton, which is the result of extraordinary craftmanship, creativity and innovation. The beauty universe is about so much more than just product, and what we are creating here will unlock a new level in luxury beauty,” says McGrath in a press statement.
