Stabilo and Kiko Milano have launched a co-created lip product collection that translates the recognizable form of the Stabilo Boss Mini highlighter into five make-up shades. The companies said the line is intended to connect colour on paper with colour worn as a form of self-expression and confidence.
The collection centres on a lip product shaped after the Boss Mini. Its five shades use names drawn from writing and personal expression: Fine Print (brown), Afterthought (mauve), Don't Quote Me (orange), On My Radar (red) and Pink(er) (fuchsia). According to the brands, the palette is designed to invite consumers to explore colour and express individual style, with both companies emphasizing quality and attention to detail.
Brand positioning
For Stabilo, the collaboration is a visible step in its move from a writing-instrument brand toward an emotional, lifestyle-oriented identity. CEO Michele Molon said Stabilo has helped generations express themselves through colour and that the partnership takes that spirit beyond the page into new creative territory. He described the link with Kiko Milano as an example of two iconic brands from different worlds challenging conventions.
Kiko Milano CEO Simone Dominici said the aim is to push colour and creativity further and inspire the company's community to highlight individual personality. He added that working with Stabilo allows Kiko Milano to carry that philosophy across categories with a partner that shares its interest in colour and creative consumers.
Availability
The collection is scheduled to be available in stores and online in Italy, France, Spain, Germany and the United Kingdom. It will also be offered through Kiko Milano's directly operated e-commerce platforms in Europe and the Middle East.
