Estée Lauder, Bobbi Brown, Trish McEvoy, Jo Malone, the Kardashians, Pat McGrath....the list goes on...are all familiar, extremely successful, innovative women in the beauty business. Make-up, skincare, and well-being have been with us through the centuries and are multi-billion dollar contributors to the international economy. That being said, if we look back to the early twentieth century, we would find a mostly male-dominated industry until two women changed all that...Elizabeth Arden and today’s subject, Helena Rubinstein.

THE FASHION MAP TURNS ONE! We are so humbled to be celebrating our 1st year. We would not have made it this far without the tremendous support of our fashion travel community.

We are celebrating our anniversary with a GIVEAWAY CONTEST! We are giving away a copy of the PIERRE CARDIN: FUTURE FASHION Catalogue that accompanied the Brooklyn Museum exhibition. Pierre Cardin: Future Fashion was the first New York retrospective in forty years to focus on the legendary couturier. Drawn primarily from Pierre Cardin’s archive, the exhibition traversed the designer’s decades-long career at the forefront of fashion invention. The exhibition presented over 170 objects drawn from his atelier and archive, including historical and contemporary haute couture, prêt-à-porter, trademark accessories, “couture” furniture, lighting, fashion sketches, personal photographs, and excerpts from television, documentaries, and feature films. 

To be eligible to win, join our fashion and travel community and subscribe to our email newsletter. It's that simple! The winner will be announced on our IG Stories on January 19th at 12:00 pm CST. Good Luck!
