Happy 15th, Nars.

Nars creative director and founder, François Nars, chose to celebrate the 15th birthday of his company with a book featuring 15 of Nars' celebu-friends sporting the brand's iconic products with their own interpretive spin.

This shoot was done in New York City and Nars did both the makeup and the photography for the book.

The book features portraits of 15 celebrities: Marc Jacobs, Isabella Rossellini, Amber Valletta, Dayle Haddon, Naomi Campbell, Amanda Lepore, Daphne Guinness, François Vincentelli, Natasha Poly, Lisa Marie Smith, Olivier Theyskens, Carla Gugino, Shalom Harlow, Tyson Ballou and Jennifer Jason Leigh.

"Basically, I wanted people who reflected my taste, friends and people I admired for their look and talent," said Nars. "I love the way Marc looks, but also what he is and does. I tried to pick people not just for looks, but for talent."

I too love how Marc looks here. He’s absolutely divine looking and red is totally his colour. Oh and did you notice the Simpson tattoo?

"There’s something very different on every page," said Nars. "You don’t get bored."

The book, "15x15", is due out in mid-November for 30 days only at http://www.15x15project.com/ with all proceeds going to charity.
