Heaven by Marc Jacobs, the quirky, Gen Z-favorite fashion brand known for its moody teen dream aesthetic, has partnered with Starface, the skincare company that transforms pimples into whimsical, sticker-worthy statements, in a move that seems both nostalgic and contemporary. The outcome? A collaboration that sits right at the nexus of beauty, fashion, and teenage angst—the cute sort.
This is not simply another limited-edition release; it is the first time that both brands have truly combined fashion and skincare, and it has all the chaotic fun you could anticipate. Known for its distinctive star-shaped pimple patches and radically positive approach to acne, Starface has previously collaborated with Glossier, Hello Kitty, and Sesame Street, among other pop culture giants. Heaven's list of collaborations, meanwhile, is a veritable who is who of dreamy alt-girl allusions: Sofia Coppola, Anna Sui, and, yeah, still no trace of that elusive Virgin Suicides skirt.
The Heaven x Starface drop, which is available starting today, is expected to fly off shelves (both virtual and IRL) because if there is one thing youth culture, nostalgia, and good skincare all agree on, it is that a little chaos, when done right, can be pretty iconic. Think cosmic-colored patches tucked inside packaging that feels pulled straight from a bedroom altar at the turn of the millennium, complete with collage-core visuals and moody high school yearbook vibes. It is a sticker for your face, but makes it feel. The collaboration speaks to something deeper as well.
