Fleur Cowles and Frederico Pallavinci founded Flair magazine in 1950, which was renowned for the design and editorial production by Pallavinci and for its lavish production. The expensive special costs for things such as cover cut-outs, and unfolding pages that revealed pictures, caused the magazine to fold a year after publication.
Pallavinci was also a theatre and set designer, a stylist for Look magazine, art director for Elizabeth Arden, and artistic consultant and interior designer for Helena Rubenstein from 1956-1965. Born in Lausanne in 1909, he moved to Vienna to study fine arts, and it was here in the 1920s that he began his career creating fanciful window displays, wrapping papers and packaging for the famous pastry shop Demel. In the 1930s he travelled to Italy, adopting his mother's maiden name, and pursued a career as a magazine illustrator and art director, before moving to America in the 1940s.
