Lancome Announces Partnership With Visionary Jason Wu

NEW YORK, Feb. 1, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Lancome is thrilled to announce its partnership with highly celebrated fashion designer, Jason Wu. With a self-proclaimed adoration for women and enhancing the female form, his talent is a natural fit for Lancome, a brand symbolic of the ultimate in femininity with modern sensibilities.

A global talent with a unique and distinctive aesthetic, Jason focuses on making clothes that are as beautifully crafted inside as out. Lancome, equally dedicated to the inner and outer beauty of women, mirrors Jason's synergy.

"Jason's vision of femininity and talent for designing clothing and accessories that truly embody a modern, elegant and stylish woman are directly in line with Lancome's brand equity. By partnering with Jason, we are able to reach an even more fashion savvy and sophisticated woman," said Silvia Galfo, Senior Vice President of Marketing.

"What was so intriguing about partnering with Lancome, beyond the quality and luxury of their products, is the notion that the brand doesn't impose a model of beauty but rather invites women to embrace themselves. This is the embodiment of a truly sexy, modern and confident woman, much like the women I design for," said Jason Wu.

The highly anticipated collection by Jason Wu for Lancome will be in stores in September of 2013.
