Stabilo has teamed up with Kiko Milano on a co-created lip product collection that carries the silhouette of the Stabilo Boss Mini highlighter into make-up, the two companies have announced.
The range contains five lip shades, each named after a phrase borrowed from the language of writing and self-expression: Fine Print (brown), Afterthought (mauve), Don't Quote Me (orange), On My Radar (red) and Pink(er) (fuchsia). The brands present the palette as an invitation to explore colour and to express individual style, with what they describe as the quality and attention to detail associated with both names.
At the centre of the project is a reinterpretation of the Boss Mini shape as the casing for a lip product, forming a deliberate link between highlighting a page and expressing personality through make-up. Stabilo frames the launch as a visible step in its move from a writing-instrument brand towards an emotional, lifestyle-oriented identity. Kiko Milano is described in the announcement as Italy's leading make-up brand.
Michele Molon, CEO of Stabilo International, said the company had helped people express themselves through colour for generations, and that the collaboration takes that spirit beyond the page. He described the partnership as an example of two well-known brands from different worlds challenging conventions to create something unexpected, and said that kind of bold, imaginative thinking would shape Stabilo's next chapter.
Simone Dominici, CEO of Kiko Milano, said the aim is to push colour and creativity further and to inspire the community to highlight its own personality. Working with Stabilo, he said, allows the company to carry that philosophy across categories with a partner that shares its passion for colour and its commitment to creative consumers.
The collection is planned for sale in stores and online in Italy, France, Spain, Germany and the United Kingdom, and through Kiko Milano's directly operated e-commerce platforms in Europe and the Middle East.
