Fabworthy: Julie Verhoeven for Mulberry

Illustrator Julie Verhoeven is no stranger to collaborations with big time design houses.

Illustrator Julie Verhoeven is no stranger to collaborations with big time design houses. In the past, she has worked with Luella Bartley, Giles Deacon and Kim Jones. Her latest project is with British brand, Mulberry. Julie created a capsule collection of black and white t-shirts, scarves, an oversized dress (pictured) and quilted fabric bags. The common theme is the traditional English rose icon she used. "It's about English eccentricities and traditions gone a little askew," she told Nylon Magazine. Prices range from $100 to $2,000.

Bellissima! Lancome Juicy Tubes Julie Verhoeven

Like most beauty junkies, I'm a little obsessed with fashion, too.

Like most beauty junkies, I'm a little obsessed with fashion, too. So I love it when the two worlds collide in creative products, like the Guerlain/Pucci makeup that came out a few months ago. Now, Lancome has just released a very special version of its best-selling Juicy Tubes Ultra Shiny Lip Gloss, called Juicy Tubes Julie Verhoeven ($17.50).

An artist, illustrator, and designer, Verhoeven has created handbags for Marc Jacobs and Louis Vuitton, and she's now working on a new line for Mulberry. Her first boss out of college was John Galliano.

For this limited-edition Juicy Tube, Lancome hired Verhoeven to design both the color — Pink Muse, a sheer pink with a hint of glitter — and the packaging, which features a playful illustration of a purple-haired post-punk girl. The lip gloss is available nationwide through October.
