Coming Soon: A Nars and Andy Warhol Makeup Collaboration

BellaSugar — Tue, 20 Mar 2012 15:34:43 PDT

What do you get when you cross one of the world's most creative cosmetics brands with a legend in Pop art? This: a makeup collection between Nars and The Andy Warhol Foundation. Created by makeup artist François Nars, the limited-edition cosmetics collaboration will hit stores in October; of course, the project promises bright hues and packaging in tribute to the late artist's creative view.

The artist's work is no stranger to licensing, and Warhol himself would have likely loved the idea. His art is a gadget case favorite, but beauty lovers won't forget the Bond No. 9 fragrance released last year in his honor. No word yet on specifics for the Nars collection, but it's sure to include standouts from the brighter end of the color spectrum - it wouldn't be Warholian without them.

Bond No. 9 Releases a New Andy Warhol Scent

Jaime Richards — Fri, 21 Oct 2011 11:31:19 PDT

From Marilyn Monroe to Jackie Kennedy, artist Andy Warhol was inspired by a variety of muses, but sometimes the motive came straight from within. That's just what New York-based perfumer Bond No. 9 wanted to capture when creating its latest Warhol series, Andy Warhol by Bond No. 9 ($180 to $240).

In this sixth scent of the series, the fragrance and packaging are meant to celebrate Warhol's boho-mod life and times. A clean-cut Warhol is depicted on the front and back of the bottle in an old-school photobooth-style photo, paying homage to a Janus-faced design (one looking to the future, and one looking to the past). The '60s-centric brew includes top notes of bergamot zest, peach juice, red rose, and cumin; a heart of honeyed centifolia rose, white patchouli, cistus ambre, jasmine, frankincense, and oud; and a drydown of amber, red sandalwood, mulled plum, vanilla bean, and musk. Get your groove on Dec. 1, when the eau de parfum launches at Saks Fifth Avenue, Bond No. 9 stores in New York, and the perfumer's website.

Would You Decorate With Guns?

Sometimes being bad can look so good, like villain Frank D'Amico's devilishly sleek pad in the comic book-based Kick-Ass. A couple standouts for me were the two oversized Andy Warhol Gun prints, which faced each other in D'Amico's office. Cleverly placed above facing seating, they were an in-your-face reminder of the room's violent mood. I've pointed out weaponry in the home before, but are massive gun prints too villainy in the safe haven we call home?

Jackie O in (Vintage) Nude Photo Scandal!

TresSugar — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 10:13:08 PDT

A word to the wise: naked photos can always resurface - even decades later. As archivists sort through 610 boxes full of memorabilia and junk collected by the late Andy Warhol, they recently stumbled upon an autographed nude photo of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.

Jackie O was a frequent muse to the packrat artist and apparently gifted him a naked poster signed, "For Andy, with enduring affection, Jackie Montauk." Matt Wrbican, who is overseeing the project of the Andy Warhol Foundation, says the handwriting matches that of Onassis, who often visited Warhol's Montauk, NY, beachhouse. Here's more:

So, after her second husband, Aristotle Socrates Onassis, got a paparazzi to take pictures of her skinny-dipping and it landed in the hands of Larry Flynt, who turned it into a poster for his porn magazine, Hustler, Jackie O sent a copy – likely as a joke – to Warhol, Wrbican said.

Wow, those guys are lucky that Jackie had a good sense of humor about the whole thing. In another funny twist, the relic was found amid junk ranging from receipts to fan mail and even Caroline Kennedy's wedding cake. Just goes to show you never know where things will turn up.

Inspired: Pop Art a Plenty

CasaSugar — Tue, 26 May 2009 11:00:32 PDT

I may never own an original Andy Warhol, but I can still integrate some pop-art style into my home with a range of accessories and furniture. Themes drawn from pop culture, bright colors, hard-edged compositions, and representational motifs abound in the decor world, making it a cinch to channel the '60s in my digs. To see some pop art-inspired decor,

On Our Radar: Diane von Furstenberg and Andy Warhol Reunite

FabSugar — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 08:00:22 PDT

Many years ago, Diane von Furstenberg and Andy Warhol hooked up at Studio 54. Not that type of hookup, silly! DVF posed for one of Warhol's iconic portraits (see below). Once again, the designer will be collaborating with the late artist, through The Andy Warhol Foundation, to create a 2008 Resort and 2009 pre-Spring swimwear collection featuring Warhol's prints.

“Andy’s Pop colors and iconic images feel glamorous and right for beach,” said von Furstenberg. The collection of beach-worthy items will use bright hues and big-leaf colors printed on bikinis, caftans, and one-piece suits. “Andy and I were contemporaries, so it feels right,” said von Furstenberg.
