Watch Revlon’s new “Tortoise Shell”
Another new color point-of-view originated by Revlon! It will be seen here (with formal dress in town) and there (punctuating a suntan at Palm springs) this winter. Watch “Tortoise Shell” … russet with luminous high-lights… special-occasion color for matching lips and fingertips. By the 4th of July, it will be another smart Americanism!
Despite the name, it just looks like red to me. Maybe the strategy was to call it something very un-red, and see if women bought it. It’s an interesting concept.
The sunglasses, which were also a Revlon product, are an odd combination of tortoise and bling. I guess they were designed to blind your beach companions. The scarf is by Tina Leser, and appears to be one of her wonderful hand-painted creations.
The photographer was Constantin Joffé , and if you didn’t know better, this could pass for a modern instagram photo. There has to be an app that will put your photo in the sunglass lense!
