At a sleek New York City downtown loft last night, makeup maestro
Francois Nars launched
15x15 , an oversized coffee table book featuring
artsy portraits of his favorite fashion friends -- such as
Marc Jacobs ,
Olivier Theyskens and
Shalom Harlow -- inspired by beauty's most iconic moments and star
NARS products.
Created to commemorate the 15th anniversary of the edgy beauty brand, only a super limited 1500 copies of the book are printed, but you can purchase the stunning fashion portraits and other artwork created by the celebs on the website,
15x15Project.com, which launched last night and runs live until December 12th.
The most amazing part? 100% of the proceeds will be donated to the 15 chosen charities of the highlighted celebs.
At the stylish soiree, Jacobs proved that real men can wear skirts (or kilts, to be exact), as he showed up in a black, knee-length number that looked great next to his partner
Lorenzo Martone's two tone jeans.
Transsexual queen
Amanda Lepore glittered in a clingy Marilyn Monroe-esque gown with matching crystallized
Louboutin heels.
Not to be outdone, Francois Nars arrived with his socialite muse
Daphne Guinness, who teetered in
Alexander McQueen fantasy ballet heels and a whimsical fairy outfit straight out of the pages of a costume photo shoot. Also in tow was Nars' 13-year old French bulldog,
Marcel.
"I want to show that you can play with makeup!" says Nars.
So what NARS products do the celebs like to play with most? While Lepore opts for
Jungle Red Lipstick because "red is the classic shade of glamour," supermodel
Amber Valletta prefers the nude beige
Belle de Jour Lipstick since it's "effortlessly chic."
