The creative philosophy behind the Erdem for NARS Strange Flowers 2018 Summer Collection
Erdem x NARS
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

Two men are behind the brand that bears their name.
“I ALWAYS LIKED TO EXPLORE
THE LAW OF FEMININITY,
AND WITH ME THE FLOWERS
SYMBOLS STRENGTH
THE EXCELLENCE OF FEMININITY”
— Erdem Moralioglu
Designer, ERDEM
“I AM ALWAYS INSPIRED WITH
PERSONALITY, CHARACTER,
AND STRONG CHARACTERISTICS.
THEY MAY BE Slightly DIFFERENT
AND EXTRAORDINARY BUT AT THE SAME TIME
WONDERFUL`
— François Nars

The pinnacle of combination
It took more than two years for the bold, timeless collection to be born, which includes six lipstick shades, two blush shades, two eye shadow palettes and a covetable powder lip palette.
In the recent Fall/Winter 2018 show, the collection was used for Erdem’s show in London.
