The collaboration of ideas between whimsical designers Viktor & Rolf and false eyelashes expert Shu Uemura gave birth to sets of party-perfect false lashes.
Part of the Autumn/Winter '08-'09 collection are the paper clip lashes. At first glance, the $50 products look like the typical exaggeratedly long false lashes, but as you look closer, you'll notice the unorthodox details that are simply Viktor & Rolf.
I've worn paper clips as hair clips many times, but having the idea of designing them into false lashes hasn't hit me yet.
