The packaging for Rhode’s new pimple patches reminds me a little bit of my all-time favorite beauty packaging: the Prada Skin collection, which was designed by Italian designer Karim Rashid in 2000. I first learned about this short-lived line when I was a freshman at FIT, browsing the school library.
Cathy Horyn wrote about it in 2000 for The New York Times: “Cold cream packaged in what looks like a condom wrapper? If it’s novel, it must be Prada.”
