Lancôme creates a makeup collection in partnership with Kate Winslet who has created the Golden Hat Foundation.

Hats off to Lancome and Kate Winslet

Lancôme is thrilled to announce its support for the Golden Hat Foundation created by Kate Winslet, who has been a brand ambassadress for four years now. To mark the occasion, Lancôme has created a makeup collection in partnership with the actress.

This non-profit foundation aims to better the lives of autistic children by removing or limiting the barriers they face. Lancôme promises to donate at least 150,000 euros of its sales profits to the Golden Hat Foundation.

The Golden Hat Foundation was created by Kate Winslet after she narrated the Icelandic documentary A Mother’s Courage: Talking Back to Autism (a.k.a. The Sunshine Boy), in which she followed the story of a child with autism. Touched by this boy’s life, she wanted to become more involved and began by developing a book project (to be published in the near future), which brings together hundreds of self-portrait photographs by celebrities from the art and film world, each wearing the foundation’s symbolic hat. She then went on to set up her own foundation, naming it after the poem “The Golden Hat,” written by Keli Thorsteinsson, the child featured in the documentary.
