If you're surprised a designer and fashion industry icon like Lyons has entered the beauty ring, you shouldn't be because, really, she's been here all along. Style and beauty are inextricably woven together, something the former president and executive creative director of J. Crew is intimately aware of. As Lyons explains to us later on, the world of fashion, quite simply, wouldn't exist without beauty. That being said, her brand-new beauty venture, a stunning line of false eyelashes called LoveSeen, has a very specific directive: the amplification of beauty versus the manipulation of beauty—a sentiment that hasn't always rung true in an industry that, historically, has prioritized cookie-cutter conceptualizations.
LoveSeen, a versatile, celebratory, and deliciously customizable approach to falsies, also represents the long-standing relationship Lyons has had with makeup artist Troi Ollivierre. By co-creating a brand of "equal opportunity" false lashes, they're not only coloring into the lines of a notoriously nonvibrant product category, but they're also co-piloting a passion project that hits personally. (Lyons, for instance, has a genetic condition called incontinentia pigmenti and was born practically eyelashless.) So, amid an industry that still has a lot of limbering up to do, Lyons and Ollivierre are pulling off the ultimate flex.
