'The Powder & The Glory' Helena Rubenstein Cosmetics
There are no ugly women, only lazy ones, quipped cosmetics entrepreneur Helena
Rubinstein, whose company made her one of the world's richest women.
Business woman, art collector, and philanthropist, she was the first female millionaire.
She commissioned work from avant-garde artists, Joan Miró, Picasso, Salvador Dali who
was to design a powder compact for her.
Her exclusive beauty salons influenced and blurred the
conceptual boundaries between fashion, art galleries,
and the domestic interior.
