Kenny Scharf mural on Houston and Bowery streets in New York, 2010.

After a successful partnership with Jeff Koons last year, Kiehl’s has once again commissioned a prominent contemporary artist for a cause.  This season New York-based pop artist Kenny Scharf brings his cartoony grafitti to Kiehl’s Crème de Corps.

Kiehl's + Kenny Scharf

Although Scharf’s works can be seen in renowned museums and galleries around the world, he is known for bringing his colorful creations elsewhere for appreciation. His talent has been on display in the streets, animated on TV programs like The Simpsons, and even on Lance Armstrong’s bicycle in the Tour de France. Now for a limited time, you’ll find a little piece by Kenny Scharf at Neiman Marcus, a dual-purpose piece that serves as art and softens skin.

100% of profits from the Kiehl’s and Kenny Scharf collaboration will be donated to children’s charities around the world.

Bloggers “Wear”: Diptyque Candles

Tastemakers don’t just buy candles from French perfumery Diptyque to burn; they use them as decor elements and then recycle the fashionable votives in creatively chic ways after the wick is extinguished. Bloggers show us how they incorporate the candles emblazoned with a simple oval logo into their bedrooms, bathrooms, and office spaces.

Inspired: Nest Fine Fragrances

Passiflora

Passiflora

This month NEST, a company known for chic candles, makes its first foray into fine fragrance with a collection inspired by the botanical artworks of Mrs. Delany, an 18th century English artist who used tissue paper to intricately replicate more than 1,000 exceptionally detailed plants and flowers.

Midnight Fleur

Midnight Fleur

NEST founder Laura Slatkin spent a year studying Mrs. Delany’s dramatic decoupage botanicals to identify concepts that could be translated into fragrance. Slatkin then commissioned Russian-born artist Alexander “Sasha” Solodukho to bring her ideas to life in watercolor. To create scents befitting the meticulous artwork, Slatkin turned to master perfumer Christophe Laudamiel for two of the fragrances, Amazon Lily and Passiflora, and Robertet’s master perfumer Jerome Epinette for the third, Midnight Fleur.
