There’s nothing more I love in this world than when a beauty-fashion collab just makes sense. When Rôz and The Great dropped a sweatshirt hair towel? Pure Genius. The RMS and Dôen velvet pouchette and skincare set? I added the bohemian edit to my cart immediately. But I’m excited to announce that as of today, September 25, there’s a new duo on the scene: Merit and Brandon Maxwell.
The cult-favorite beauty brand and fashion designer have been exclusively working together during New York Fashion Week for the past few years, so it felt natural to launch a little something special coming off the heels of the designer’s 10th anniversary. Enter: the third reimaging of Merit’s Signature Bag (they’ve previously collaborated with Proenza Schouler and Tove on makeup cases that double as elevated accessories)—and the first new lip blush shade, a perfect berry hue dubbed Maxwell, since the brand’s cosmetic launch in 2021.
