The dial features my signature lipstick
symbol, which is used on a fi ctional
woman—my muse. She’s confi dent and the
type of woman who thinks, “Hey, I am the
best thing to happen to this world.”Why do you use lipstick?
It’s the perfect symbol for the 21st-century
woman. It’s universal, worn by different
kinds of women, and can evoke different
moods and emotions. This variety is
important for me because women are
multifaceted and have many different roles
in life. I want to express this in my artwork.What’s your message?
The women I depict are strong and
powerful. Women’s empowerment has
developed unimaginably since the early
20th century. They can vote and have a
tremendous impact on society. This is a
woman’s world right now and I want to
celebrate that.What did you enjoy most about your
collaboration with Hublot?
The meetings were always exciting and it
was great seeing our ideas come together
using 3D technology for the fi rst time.
Hublot is an artistic maison and respected
my process as a creative. We fi tted together
like two pieces of a puzzle and everything
was very collaborative.LAST PAGE
