I met my darling friend Brooke for dinner tonight, which turned into a sleepover – her flight home was canceled and my house looked better than her previous 5th-floor-walk-up option – which was a pleasant surprise.

Brooke is one of those girls that I wished lived in Manhattan – she’s a super cute, ridiculously hardworking, extremely talented stylist and fashion editor who has a thing for funny hats and visors.

Earlier this evening, we sat in my apartment watching Californication (which I love love love), and for some reason I mentioned the vibrating mascaras and she mentioned Viktor & Rolf for shu uemura.

I don’t keep up on makeup trends as well as perhaps I should, but Viktor & Rolf are one of my favorite designing duos, and I felt silly for not knowing about their collaboration with uemura. I fell in love with V&R a few years ago …their fall ‘06 collection is drop-dead gorgeous and the show itself was simply breathtaking; in my opinion it is everything a good show should be: super stylish, super chic, super theatrical – see the video here

I also loved what they did for H&M, but really, who didn’t?

Anyway, their lash couture collection features three different lashes and they are all over-the-top, totally dramatic, absolutely stunning, and for just $95 a set, you can get in on a little couture action…

From the official release:

Tokyo Lash Bar 2008 is taking another exciting direction with “Couture Collection,” featuring an artistic collaboration with Dutch fashion designers Viktor & Rolf , undoubtedly one of the most talked about designer duos in the fashion community.

Viktor & Rolf exclusively designed three Couture eyelashes inspired by their latest collection. Encased in a luxurious white box complete with a masquerade eye mask, the collection blends Viktor & Rolf’s artistic and conceptual approach to design with shu uemura’s avant-garde vision.
