Style Nova shifts its focus from quick vogue to quick magnificence. On June 14, the home of That knock-off Miu Miu set launches NovaBeauty, a whopping 48-piece assortment of lipstick, lip liner and lip gloss.
“Magnificence is an integral a part of the Nova look,” mentioned Richard Saghian, CEO of Style Nova WWD† Based on the director, make-up – particularly lip gloss and lip liner – has been probably the most in-demand class from clients for the previous two years.
NovaBeauty will vary from $10 to $12, a worth corresponding to most drugstore manufacturers. WWD studies that the road will increase by means of “frequent drops,” a mannequin that displays Style Nova’s method to clothes (a nightmarish technique, at the very least from a sustainability standpoint).
NovaBeauty’s announcement factors to the continued rise of “quick magnificence,” a style used to explain manufacturers that develop and launch merchandise at lightning velocity to maintain abreast of traits. Some examples of outstanding quick magnificence suppliers: ColourPop, Make-up Revolution and Kylie Magnificence.
Style Nova shouldn’t be the primary quick vogue retailer to money in on cosmetics. In 2021, Zara launched a group of lipstick, blush, eyeshadow and nail polish. Swedish big H&M has been providing make-up, hair care and wonder merchandise since 2015.
Whereas some argue that the manufacturing of quick magnificence leads to much less waste than quick vogue, the ultra-low costs of, say, Zara’s $9 nail polish and Style Nova’s $10 lipsticks encourage a buy-try-disposable mode of consumption. It goes with out saying that purchasing an inexpensive product (in all probability wrapped in plastic), utilizing it a handful of instances and throwing it away is not precisely environmentally acutely aware.
Style is going through a “sluggish” reckoning, however what about magnificence? The identical intent we put into our clothes purchases can – and may – apply to our make-up luggage.
