Stabilo and Kiko Milano have introduced a co-created lip collection that carries the recognizable form of the Stabilo Boss Mini highlighter into Kiko Milano’s beauty assortment. The collection comprises five lip shades, each named around writing, individuality and self-expression.
The partnership connects Stabilo, a writing-instrument brand known for its highlighters, with Kiko Milano, which the announcement describes as Italy’s number one make-up brand. Both companies frame the line around a shared position that creativity is a form of self-expression and that colour can support confidence.
Product concept and shade range
At the centre of the collection is a lip product that reinterprets the Boss Mini silhouette. According to the companies, the design creates a link between highlighting on paper and using make-up to express personality. The five shades are:
- FINE PRINT — brown
- AFTERTHOUGHT — mauve
- DON’T QUOTE ME — orange
- ON MY RADAR — red
- PINK(ER) — fuchsia
The names use phrases from writing and personal expression. The companies say the palette is intended to invite consumers to explore colour and express individual style, with the quality and attention to detail associated with both brands.
Brand positioning
For Stabilo, the project is presented as a visible step in its move from a writing-instrument-led identity toward a more emotional, lifestyle-oriented positioning. Stabilo International CEO Michele Molon said the company has helped generations express themselves through colour and is now extending that idea beyond paper into new areas of creativity. He described the Kiko Milano collaboration as an example of two established brands from different sectors challenging conventions and producing something unexpected.
Kiko Milano CEO Simone Dominici said the partnership is intended to push colour and creativity further and to encourage the company’s community to highlight individual personality. He added that working with Stabilo allows Kiko Milano to carry that philosophy across product categories with a partner that shares its focus on colour and creative consumers.
Availability
The collection will be sold in stores and online in Italy, France, Spain, Germany and the United Kingdom. It will also be available through Kiko Milano’s directly operated e-commerce platforms in Europe and the Middle East.
The announced range is focused on lip products rather than a broader cosmetics line, and the companies position the shade names as part of the product story. No pricing, production details or sales targets were included in the announcement.
