Stabilo and Kiko Milano have launched a co-created collection of lip products that brings the silhouette of the Stabilo Boss Mini highlighter into Kiko Milano's make-up range. The companies said the project reflects a shared belief that creativity is a form of self-expression and that colour gives people confidence to show who they are.
The collection is built around a reinterpretation of the iconic Boss Mini shape as a lip product. According to the announcement, that design creates a distinctive link between highlighting on paper and expressing personality through make-up. Five shades make up the line, each named with a reference to writing, language and personal expression.
Five shades
- Fine Print: brown
- Afterthought: mauve
- Don't Quote Me: orange
- On My Radar: red
- Pink(er): fuchsia
The names use familiar phrases from writing and conversation, while the colours are positioned to encourage consumers to explore colour and express individual style. Stabilo and Kiko Milano said the collection reflects the quality and attention to detail for which both brands are known.
Two brands, one colour message
Stabilo is known for its highlighters, while Kiko Milano is described in the announcement as Italy's number one make-up brand. The partners present the project as a meeting point between two companies from different worlds that share an interest in colour and creative expression.
For Stabilo, the collaboration is described as a visible step in its transformation from a brand rooted in writing instruments towards an emotional, lifestyle-oriented identity. Michele Molon, CEO of Stabilo International, said the company has helped generations express themselves through colour and is now taking that spirit beyond the page into new dimensions of creativity. He described the Kiko Milano collaboration as an example of two iconic brands from different sectors challenging conventions and creating something unexpected, and as the kind of bold, imaginative thinking that will shape Stabilo's next chapter.
Simone Dominici, CEO of Kiko Milano, said the partnership aims to push the boundaries of colour and creativity further and to inspire the company's community to highlight its individual personality. He added that working with Stabilo allows Kiko Milano to bring that philosophy across categories with a partner that shares its passion for colour and commitment to creative people.
Retail rollout
The collection will be available in stores and online in Italy, France, Spain, Germany and the United Kingdom. It will also be sold through Kiko Milano's directly operated e-commerce platforms in Europe and the Middle East. No pricing or exact launch date was included in the announcement.
