Christian Louboutin
Mazarine Pascalie Design imagined an exceptional object to express the audacity of a cult brand.
"I grabbed some nail polish, I painted the sole, it became red. This revelatory moment gave birth to the Louboutin legend."
— Christian Louboutin.
Nail polish may have inspired Christian Louboutin's iconic red sole, but we drew inspiration from his high heel silhouette to create the shape of the brand’s nail polish bottle.

Shu Uemura
Mazarine Pascalie Design created the makeup collection’s monogram and designed the product collection.
Expressing the Shu Uemura spirit: the luxury of purity, modern and artistic. Inspired by the traditional Japanese seal 印鑑, which represents the founder's first name in kanji, meaning "excellence".
Alongside Shu Uemura, we designed make-up products with pureness, very geometric shapes, playing on intense matte or glossy blacks. We also created the monogram 秀 "shu" to become the brand's emblem.
