You launched your first makeup collection in 1994, what prompted this? What was the industry lacking that caused you to disrupt it with your own offering?
FN: As an artist, I was frustrated with not being able to find the best products or the best colours and I thought it would be fun to create my own makeup line. It wasn't planned, it was very spontaneous, which is what I think makes the brand so fresh.
What was the beauty and fashion world like before you started your brand? Was it a very different place?
FN: When I began my career, the faces in fashion and beauty were very plastic looking – perfect faces with blonde hair and blue eyes. Also, I felt women were following trends blindly because somebody told them to do so.
