Stabilo and Kiko Milano have launched a co-created collection of lip products that carries the shape of the Stabilo Boss Mini highlighter into make-up. The two companies said the line reflects a shared belief that creativity is a form of self-expression and that colour gives people the confidence to show who they are.
At the centre of the collection is a reinterpretation of the Boss Mini silhouette as a lip product, linking the marking of text on paper with the expression of personality through make-up. The five shades take their names 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
For Stabilo, the project is a visible step in its move from a brand rooted in writing instruments towards an emotional, lifestyle-oriented identity. Chief executive Michele Molon said the company had helped generations express themselves through colour and was now taking that spirit beyond the page into new dimensions of creativity. He described the partnership with Kiko Milano as an example of two iconic brands from different worlds challenging conventions and creating something unexpected, and said that kind of bold, imaginative thinking would shape Stabilo's next chapter.
Kiko Milano chief executive Simone Dominici said the aim was to push the boundaries of colour and creativity and to inspire the company's community to highlight its individual personality. He added that working with Stabilo allowed the Italian make-up brand to carry that philosophy across categories with a partner that shares its passion for colour and its commitment to creative people.
The collection will be available in stores and online in Italy, France, Spain, Germany and the United Kingdom, as well as through Kiko Milano's directly operated European and Middle East e-commerce platforms.
