Louis Vuitton Unveils First Beauty Collaboration with Dame Pat McGrath and Nicolas Ghesquière 

La Beauté Louis Vuitton marks the 130th anniversary of the celebrated monogram with a historic limited-edition beauty collaboration between Louis Vuitton Artistic Director Nicolas Ghesquiere and Creative Director of Cosmetics Dame Pat McGrath. 

For over two decades, Dame Pat McGrath has been the creative force behind the beauty on the Louis Vuitton Runway, translating the vision of each collection into looks that complete its character, its attitude, and its emotion. When Nicolas Ghesquière took the helm as artistic director, that creative dialogue found a new and defining expression. This new collection extends that backstage dialogue into everyday beauty routines. 

The collection is built around two themes, Monogram Dune and Monogram Infrarouge, reflecting the two contrasting expressions of an LV woman. 

Drawing inspiration from the evershifting beauty of the desert landscape, Monogram Dune is built for the woman who moves through the world with warmth, elegance, and effortless assurance. Each shade chosen to feel as intimate as a second skin, the palette is defined by soft beiges and sun-warmed nudes. 

Monogram Dune features the LV Ombres 724 Monogram Dune – Eyeshadow Palette, with four harmonious shades, the LV Rouge 724 Monogram Dune – Satin Lipstick, and the LV Baume 098 Stellar Veil – Topper Lip Balm.

Drawing inspiration from the striking drama of the Infrarouge monogram with a vivid red set against deep black, the Monogram Infrarouge collection is for the woman who embraces contrast, who wears boldness as a second nature, and whose beauty commands attention without ever seeking approval. 

The collection includes the LV Ombres 715 Monogram Infrarouge – Eyeshadow Palette with shades muted rosy beige, cool-toned taupe, a sparkling bluish anthracite, and a mysterious, velvety burgundy, along with the LV Rouge 715 Monogram Infrarouge – Satin Lipstick and LV Baume 099 Galactic Veil – Topper Lip Balm. 

In a moment that bridges the Maison’s fashion heritage and beauty universe, both the Monogram Dune and Monogram Infrarouge canvases find their place on the beauty compact. The make-up pieces are accompanied by a dedicated line of small leather goods and accessories, conceived for the first time in the limited-edition canvases, each an extension of the beauty ritual into the world beyond the vanity.
