Famed couture designer Giambattista Valli is set to launch a flora-inspired lipstick collection created in collaboration with MAC Cosmetics for the summer season next year. 5 lipstick hues range from pale, petal pink to deep, plummy purple, are available -- all packaged in matching cases and with a matt finish.

"I'm very well known for dresses, no? And I thought it was very nice, the idea of dressing your lips."

Valli added, "The best thing about make-up is that a lipstick can really change your look. If you never wear colour on your lips and then one day you wear red, everyone just goes 'wow! I made these for a woman with personality, a woman who lives her life and isn't afraid to wear colour and isn't afraid to kiss."
