Stabilo and Kiko Milano have launched a co-created collection of lip products that brings the instantly recognizable shape of the Stabilo Boss Mini highlighter into Kiko Milano's beauty range. The companies describe the line as an encounter between two brands that share a belief that creativity is a form of self-expression and that color gives people confidence to show who they are.
At the center of the collection is a reinterpretation of the Boss Mini silhouette as a lip product, creating a link between highlighting on paper and expressing personality through make-up. The range includes five lip shades, each named with a phrase drawn from the language of writing and personal expression:
- FINE PRINT: brown
- AFTERTHOUGHT: mauve
- DON'T QUOTE ME: orange
- ON MY RADAR: red
- PINK(ER): fuchsia
The names are intended to celebrate individuality, self-expression and confidence.
The two companies say the five shades translate the collection's shared creative vision into a palette that invites people to explore color and express individual style, with the quality and attention to detail for which both brands are known.
For Stabilo, the collaboration is a visible step in its transformation from a brand rooted in writing instruments toward an emotional, lifestyle-oriented identity. Michele Molon, CEO of Stabilo International, said that Stabilo has helped generations express themselves through color and that the partnership takes that spirit beyond the page into new dimensions of creativity and self-expression. He described the collaboration as an example of two iconic brands from different worlds challenging conventions and creating something unexpected, adding that such bold, imaginative thinking will shape Stabilo's next chapter.
Simone Dominici, CEO of Kiko Milano, said the partnership aims to push the boundaries of color and creativity and to inspire the company's community to highlight its individual personality. He said working with Stabilo allows Kiko Milano to carry that philosophy across categories with a partner that shares its passion for color and its commitment to creative people.
The collection will 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.
The companies describe Kiko Milano as the number one make-up brand in Italy. The project places a familiar stationery form within a beauty context, using the Boss Mini's silhouette and the naming language of writing as the bridge between the two product worlds.
