"There is nothing else like it out there, yet there is an element of smart, on-my-own-terms femininity to the whole line," said Wende Zomnir, creative director, Urban De-cay."Our packaging is urban, edgy and semi-industrial."For example, the company uses a subway token design for concealers, manhole covers for eye shadows and shotgun shell designs for lipsticks."Functionality is very important to us as well.I think clunky products that you can't take with you easily are 'out,'" said Ms. Zomnir.
Urban Decay's edgy containers define the feminist market.
More than a year ago, Urban Decay updated its packaging from simple brown cartons to layered metallic collage boxes.This fall, Urban Decay is introducing a skin care line that retains a thread of consistency to existing lines, yet has an identity of its own, according to Ms. Zomnir."We like to keep the line fresh," explained Ms. Zomnir.
