In celebration of its 20th anniversary, KIKO MILANO has created 7 capsule collections in partnership with 7 emerging designers. Mini Divas is the fourth chapter of a story with colour and creativity at its very core. 

In collaboration with Vogue, KIKO has entrusted Benedetta Bruzziches, an emerging talent and owner of the Benedetta Bruzziches accessory brand, with the collection. Mini Divas pays modern-day homage to the glamour of the stars of the 1950s: makeup products and accessories designed for a sophisticated and magnetic look.

Blush, bronzing powder, mini baked eyeshadow, mascara with pencil for intense looks and small, jewel-like lipsticks that you can carry with you on-the-go in your new evening clutch bag await you, together with the most glamorous beauty accessories. These mini accessories are irresistibly seductive.

KIKO PRESENTS BENEDETTA BRUZZICHES

Here are some questions we asked designer Benedetta Bruzziches to discover more about who she is and her collaboration with KIKO:

Why did you choose to collaborate with KIKO?
Vogue TALENTS was offering an incredible opportunity to collaborate with a true icon of Made-in-Italy excellence. KIKO is, without a shadow of a doubt, a visionary brand.

What inspired you when creating the KIKO collection?
What woman hasn’t — at least once — wanted to look like one of the great stars of the past? For KIKO, I envisaged a bright, feminine collection, in which lipsticks resemble small jewels and beauty is encapsulated in an evening clutch bag. The collection is inspired by sophisticated styles for which Aimee Song is recognised as one of the divas today. I hope you like it!

How would you describe your brand’s style and how did you incorporate it into the design?
The main focus is being close and intimate with the feminine form. All of the bags created so far form part of a journey in which we strive to observe femininity in greater depth. In the collection for KIKO, the air of stardom and its glamour form an integral part of the capsule. Beauty is a choice that you have to make.

Did you participate in fashion weeks this year? If so, where and when?
Milan, Paris and New York, from 17 February to 8 March.

What did it bring to the collection? What did you do exactly?
The collection was born from a dream that then became reality as its design developed.
