This holiday season, Emma Lewisham is teaming up with Judy Millar, one of New Zealand’s most well-known artists, to release two limited-edition skincare gift sets that combine beauty, art, and purpose. The sets, launched on 14 October 2025, feature packaging designed by Millar exclusively for this collaboration.
This partnership is based on shared values. Both Lewisham and Millar are known for pushing boundaries in their work and for their strong sense of purpose and integrity. For Emma Lewisham, this means creating luxury skincare focused on science, circular design, and sustainability. For Judy Millar, it means changing the way people see abstract painting through her use of scale, movement, and materials.
Emma Lewisham x Judy Millar Collab Extends Beyond Beauty
Emma Lewisham’s skincare brand is built on the belief that high performance and responsibility can go hand in hand. Her products are science-based, refillable, and made to reduce environmental impact. The brand is certified Climate Positive by Toitū Envirocare, and all products can be recycled through the Emma Lewisham Beauty Circle.
“Partnering with Judy Millar is an honour,” says Lewisham. “She is someone I deeply admire for her genuinely revolutionary thinking and unwavering integrity and the values she embodies. Like us, she believes that true excellence comes from questioning every creative decision and never compromising on principles. Our Holiday Gift Sets are a reflection of what we both believe: that the most meaningful and purposeful work creates a lasting, positive impact. This is the new definition of luxury.”
Judy Millar is a leading contemporary artist from New Zealand, with a career of almost forty years. Her art has been featured at the Venice Biennale and in major galleries worldwide, such as the Art Gallery of New South Wales and Kunstmuseum St Gallen in Switzerland. Millar is known for her large, expressive paintings and her unique methods of erasing, wiping, and scraping paint to explore meaning and form. She lives between Auckland and Berlin. For Millar, this collaboration matches her way of living and working; her approach is deeply connected to sustainability and mindful creation, shaped by almost forty years of off-grid living.
“As I live, I make, I do,” says Millar. “This philosophy has shaped my nearly four decades of off-grid living. I’ve revisited every part of my studio practice, from materials to waste, to reduce impact, and I’ve found that the more consciously I work, the more intensity my work holds. That’s what I recognise in Emma Lewisham: a belief that how you create is inseparable from what you create.”
Millar designed the packaging with the idea that skincare is a daily ritual—something personal and meaningful, not just a routine task.
“The work transforms giving into something intentional,” she says. “Skincare is a daily ritual of care, and I wanted the packaging to carry that same intimacy. Knowing my work will be part of those moments feels deeply meaningful. My hope is that when people receive these sets, they feel they’re holding something special: a gesture of intention, care and deep respect for both the giver and the receiver.”
