Big congratulations are in order for Italian make-up artist and backstage regular, Lucia Pica who is new Global Creative Director of Make-up and Colour Designer. 

Lucia embarked on a career as a freelance make-up artist in 2008, and in less than seven years has worked her way up to be one of the most celebrated in the business. You might recognise her work from the catwalks of  House of Holland and Margaret Howell (to name a few). 

'She brings to her creativity, her distinctive colour expertise and her modern interpretation of Beauty', reads a statement issued by Chanel. 

Expect to see a lot more of Lucia in 2015.
