Cosmetics à la carte celebrates its 40th anniversary

World-renowned cosmetics brand Cosmetics à la carte has launched a stunning exhibition to showcase the brand’s history in order to celebrate the brand’s success over the past 40 years. This colourful exhibition takes place in the social hub of Shoreditch and The Upcoming was lucky enough to be invited to its private viewing last night. With champagne flowing all evening, and guests being showered with goodies, the brand’s success is clearly evident.IMG_6364 copy

This classy event was curated by the respected Ryan Lanji who, along with a team of talented workers, displayed the company’s history in innovative ways. A popular favourite of the showcase was an illustrated timeline on the wall which included all of the company’s key moments. These key moments highlighted how Cosmetics à la carte has provided make-up for some of the most influential women such as Princess Diana, Elizabeth Taylor and Lady Gaga. IMG_6549 copy

Ryan Lanji really brings the history of the brand alive, with make-up stations where you can test out the products and video screens showing make-up tutorials. As well as these displays the exhibition is full of fashion illustrations, newspaper clippings and photography. One of our favourite displays was the sculptures by Alex Noble which were inspired by iconic fashion images and they truly are a must-see for fashion and beauty lovers.IMG_6493 copy

This exhibition highlights the very best of à la carte and it leaves us wondering what the next 40 years will bring for this ever-growing brand.
