MAC x Giambattista Valli.

Unless you're majorly clued up on fashion, Giambattista Valli probably isn't a name you regularly hear... but it soon will be. The Parisian fashion designer is launching an exclusive range of lipsticks and glosses with the cosmetics giant MAC, whom he has partnered with on all his fashion shows for the past ten years.

Known for his floral prints, it's no wonder the collection features a lot of red and pink shades. On choosing the colours, Valli recently stated that he was inspired by his previous collections, and that he 'went through all the reds, all the pinks, and all the tones that were used in the past and we brought them all together.' It's also the first time that MAC have used colour on their bullet packaging. Valli stated that it was an idea of his so that women know exactly what shade they're pulling out of their handbag. Clever.

So, why now? Well, Giambattista Valli as a brand is celebrating it's 10th year (hence the 10 shades) so they wanted to do something extra special to commemorate the occasion. And why not do it with a company that has been there since the beginning. It seems #HMBALMAINATION isn't the only major collar set to hit stores this year...

Rihanna's a fan: the pop superstar rocked a Giambattista Valli dress at the 2015 Grammy Awards.

The collection is set to launch Thursday 9th July.
