This unique exhibition at the Jewish Museum, New York designed by Feilden Fowles in collaboration with A Practice for Everyday Life, opens its doors to the public today. This is the first exhibition to explore the ideas, innovations, and influence of the legendary cosmetics entrepreneur Helena Rubinstein (1872 – 1965). Madame (as she was universally known) helped break down the status quo of taste by blurring boundaries between commerce, art, fashion, beauty, and design. Through 200 objects Beauty Is Power reveals how Rubinstein’s unique style and pioneering approaches to business challenged conservative taste and heralded a modern notion of beauty, democratized and accessible to all.

Feilden Fowles were delighted to be invited to present at the Multistory Guest Lecture series at Canterbury School of Architecture. Last nights talk was a great success with warm feedback from the students and tutors. Fergus & Edmund talked about the inception of the practice from their early projects through to recent completed education buildings, describing how their values and approach have shaped past buildings and define new opportunities in Education and the Arts.

Other speakers lined up to appear in the series include 6a Architects, David Greene of Archigram and Lacation & Vassal.
