The interview dropped last Wednesday, and Vampyre Cosmetics released a statement on Friday stating that they would no longer collaborate with the rocker and that all pre-sales would be refunded. “We stand with all members of the LGBTQIA+ community and believe everyone should have access to healthcare,” the brand wrote in an Instagram post.
The presale had been open since August 14, and the collection consisted of eyeshadow palettes, lipsticks, and a revamp of Cooper’s Whiplash mascara, described on his website as a unisex product. Vampyre Cosmetics, meanwhile, is a woman-owned, disabled-owned, and LGBTQ+-owned brand, per its website, so it makes complete sense that they dropped the Cooper partnership.
Phoenix Rising Cosmetics holds over 20 licensing contracts with major companies, including Disney, Sony and Hasbro. Founder Rachel Boese first branched into licensing in 2018. A few of the brand’s other licensed collections are associated with “Assassin’s Creed,” “Dungeons and Dragons” and “Silent Hill.” The “Silent Hill” and “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” collections are top sellers.
Boese says, “I realized that I could offer tremendous value, get to work with the brands and celebrities I admire, while also reaching a broader audience by tapping into existing fanbases.” She adds, “We choose license IPs that either myself or my team are fans of so that we can faithfully create products designed by fans for the fans,”
The majority of Phoenix Rising’s customers are millennials and gen Z. “A lot of the shows, movies and games we choose to feature have dedicated cult fan bases and are under merchandised,” says Boese. “Fans are literally looking for products to buy that feature their favorite movies and shows but resort to buy unlicensed merch because there isn’t anything or isn’t enough officially licensed merchandise.”
