Even though David never does beauty projects (this is his FIRST!) he was drawn to Eyeko’s packaging and iconography, as well as excited by the prospect of working closely with friends & Eyeko founders, Max & Nina Leykind, on this project. David says, “I jumped at the chance to work with Eyeko, we share the same icons (eyekons!) Brigitte Bardot, Sophia Loren, Jane Birkin. Women who are part of our dreamscape.”
