Since 2013, NARS and Erdem have collaborated on and off the runway at London Fashion Week, the Met Gala red carpet and the designer’s 10th anniversary book, ERDEM X. Together

STRANGE FLOWER is the culmination of this collaboration over many years: the perfect blend of NARS’s iconic beauty and Erdem’s hauntingly romantic style.

Inspired by unusual flowers create the Strange Flowers collection

“I AM ALWAYS INSPIRED WITH

PERSONALITY, CHARACTER,
