Leclerc, Rhode’s first muse ambassador, worked closely with the brand on the shades, finishes and details of the collection.
The three Pocket Pearl shades each have a personal meaning: Gemini, inspired by her star sign; Monaco, a reference to the place she calls home; and Monet, named after her favourite artist.
Speaking to ELLE, Leclerc said her studies in art history influenced her approach to colour, light and texture, while her preference for natural, luminous make-up helped shape the collection’s shimmering finish.
Monaco also plays an important role in the collaboration.
In an interview with Vogue, Leclerc described the Principality as her home and spoke about enjoying its quieter atmosphere in autumn, particularly spending time with family and friends.
Other personal references include the Sweet Apple Peptide Lip Tint, while her miniature dachshund Leo, whom she shares with husband Charles Leclerc, also features in the campaign.
The Rhode x Alexandra Leclerc collection will launch exclusively online on 15 September.
