In color cosmetics, product function is the priority. Creating a makeup brand that looks and feels expressive, statement making, and attuned to consumer preferences is nearly—if not equally—as important. This week on the CosmoFactory podcast, we open a conversation about makeup, neuromarketing, creative packaging design, brand loyalty, niche product benefits, and so much more. Our guest is Anna Blasco Salvat, Vice President of Marketing at ARTDECO Cosmetic Group. She's also the Creative Director of that company's ARTDECO makeup brand. This Germany-based business was founded in 1985 and comprises the consumer brand ARTDECO, a nail color brand called ANNY, and Make Up Factory which is a color brand for professional makeup artists. In early May of 2025 (not long after this interview was recorded), Sodalis Group acquired a majority stake in the company.

How is urban art developed in cooperation with planners, developers, and architects? Public art is designed to be viewed and enjoyed from many angles. Riccardo embraces this 360-degree perspective in this episode by examining a component of major programmes that is not often explored: the development of the impressive art installations on display in many public buildings. He speaks with Corail Bourrelier Fabiani, a former host of the podcast and the passionate programme manager behind London's Shard and Paddington Square sculptures.Corail outlines the intricate relationship between public art and major urban developments in the city, from why it's so important to inspire ongoing wonder in our concrete jungles to the challenges of getting involved late in the development process. Her experiences highlight the importance of stakeholder collaboration and the many moving parts that must be navigated to create something beautiful, lasting, and welcoming for tourists and residents alike—something that helps define the fabric of the city around us.Takeaways:The humanizing impact of interacting with public art.The complex process of stakeholder management and artistic team selection.The benefits of enthusiastic architect and engineer buy-in on an art installation.The technical, structural, and visual challenges inherent in making public art decisions at the end of development.Quote: “There are a lot of sculptures around us that we, after a while, we don't even see. And I would say, like, it's true. It's true with a lot of the urban fabric that when you get used to something, you just stop like looking at it. If you take the tube in Paris, for example, like the very old entrances to the tube with like the lights and the way they're shaped, etc. This kind of Art Deco, like, beautiful entrance. Most people don't even see them anymore, you know. Or if you walk along alongside the Thames and you go closer to the Tate, you would see these lampposts that have big fish at the bottom of them that are, you know, around the lamppost. And a lot of people, because we're so. There are so many images, etc, or we're too much into our own world, like thinking about our issues, our, like our next meeting, et cetera, we just walk past them without even noticing what's around us. And I think art, the magic of art is that sometimes it grabs your attention, you don't know why, and it makes you stop for a second and realize that your surroundings, or be completely amazed that you notice that element.” - Corail Bourrelier FabianiThe conversation doesn't stop here—connect and converse with our community via LinkedIn:Follow Navigating Major ProgrammesFollow Riccardo CosentinoRead Riccardo's latest at www.riccardocosentino.comFollow Corail Bourrelier Fabiani Music: "A New Tomorrow" by Chordial Music.

In the world of art, few figures stand as tall as Pablo Picasso, a true innovator who reshaped creativity and pushed boundaries. While his genius is most often associated with the canvas, his life and style also reflected a fascination with elegant and innovative objects. The Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso, with its iconic Art Deco design and groundbreaking reversible case, embodies the same spirit of innovation that defined Picasso's artistic legacy—making it a fitting symbol of his era.

Today I would like to discuss the level of furniture that can be found in shops and department stores. It is a sensitive issue that is rarely brought up in public but remains a hot subject in the architecture and design communities. I have heard people describe it as ordinary, mediocre, poorly made, and less inspiring and innovative than it has been at any other time in history. It should not be forgotten that furniture design has always had a tremendous impact on the taste of the time.In the 20th century, manufacturers were motivated in producing avant-garde furniture, and this why it became available to consumers. The Primavera department store in Paris, for example, was the source for high end Art Deco furnishings in the 1920s. American department stores Macy's, Lord & Taylor, and Abraham Strauss offered the American public the most up to date and daring furniture available. During the mid-century years, it was Herman Miller and Knoll that were famously investing and responsible for the some of the iconic furniture of the century. The Japanese department store Takashimaya was the source for art furniture in the 1950s, and it is particularly memorable for the benchmark exhibition of French design curated by Charlotte Perriand. In the 1970s and 1980s, it was Bloomingdales that became the lead tastemaker by exhibiting chic, fantastical space age furniture, brilliantly curated.What really happened to furniture design and why the best of it is found only in galleries and museums, but not in shops?For this discussion I invited Sami Reiss. He writes the bestselling newsletter Snake, covering auctions, design, vintage furniture and fashion. Sami's articles have been published in GQ, the Wall Street Journal, ESPN and the New York Times.

Telescope domes are designed to keep the telescopes inside safe and on-target. But just because they’re practical doesn’t mean they can’t be beautiful. That’s especially true of some built in the 1930s. They were influenced by the design style that was all the rage – known today as art deco. The event that popularized art deco began 100 years ago this week – the International Exhibition of Decorative Arts and Modern Industries, in Paris. It was a showcase for French design in architecture, art, furniture, clothing, and other fields. Most countries participated. The only restriction: Everything had to be modern. The exhibition inspired a design wave across the United States. Popular examples include the Empire State Building and Chrysler Building in New York, along with trains, airplanes, cars, consumer goods, and more. Astronomy got into the act as well. The best-known example is Griffith Observatory, in Hollywood. Its domes and grounds have been featured in dozens of movies and TV shows. The domes of Palomar Observatory feature art-deco design as well, including the one that houses the 200-inch telescope – the largest in the world for decades. And no list is complete without our own McDonald Observatory. Its original dome was dedicated in 1939. It housed not only the observatory’s 82-inch telescope, but also labs, offices, and living space for the astronomers – all executed in beautiful art deco style. Script by Damond Benningfield
One hundred years ago today, an international exhibition opened in Paris called, "“L'Exposition internationale des arts décoratifs.” 16 million people attended the months long show, and the exhibition is credited with launching the famous Art Deco architectural movement that now defines the New York City skyline. Francis Morrone, architectural historian and NYU adjunct instructor, dives deeper into the history of New York Art Deco and listeners share their favorite local Art Deco building.
In Paris, in the 1920s, a myriad of languages was spoken. Elegant ladies from all over the world flocked to the French capital to shop to their heart's content. The city, a veritable crossroads of influences, drew inspiration from the most diverse sources. But if there was one country whose charms enchanted high society, it was China. Shanghai was on everyone's lips. The exotic name made people dream, and it inspired and offered a repertoire of new forms to designers.In the workshop of the Lacloche Brothers, a famous jewelry-making duo, traditional Chinese know-how influenced the most ambitious Art Deco creations. A door had opened onto a new world - a world that accompanied women in their desire for novelty and innovation.Voice of Jewels, a podcast from L'ÉCOLE, School of Jewelry Arts supported by Van Cleef & Arpels.

This was my first time attending YarnCon, a trade show type event for the knitting, crochet, hand dyers and yarn community. Vendor booths from IL and surrounding states show their beautiful product, much of it hand made, hand dyed and all of it stunning! Below is a list of the vendors from the 2025 show that just took place last weekend (4/5 and 4/6) in Chicago.https://yarncon.com/pages/copy-of-vendorsThe building that YarnCon was held is a historic beaux arts architecture and art deco design. The link below is the resource I used in this episode.Beaux Arts ArchitectureFinal Shopping at JoAnn FabricsThe second part of this episode is a recap of my final trip to JoAnn Fabrics before they close forever. A common issue with most shoppers I have heard from and chatted with is that the discounts are not really discounted. The prices were raised to MSRP and then slightly discounted. These prices are higher than a JoAnn shopper would have paid prior to the company closing announcement. If you plan to make one more trip to JoAnn's, I share tips on what to look for and how to shop the discounts in your favor while enjoying the nostalgia one last time.

Can jewelry be used as an instrument in liberation or a tool in the struggle for freedom? It is the early 20th century. The world is abuzz with countless battles: those that tear nations apart, but also those for women's rights.It is in this tumultuous context that the Art Deco movement emerges.The jewelry pieces born from this artistic movement become symbols of modernity, freedom, and audacity. In their own way, they accompany the emancipation of women, in particular in the 1920s, nicknamed the “Roaring Twenties”! Their elegance stems from their audacity, mixed with an apparent simplicity. Yet, some of these jewelry items hide unexpected secrets... and even sly war strategies, like the famous Zouzou bracelet worn by Josephine Baker!Voice of Jewels, a podcast from L'ÉCOLE, School of Jewelry Arts supported by Van Cleef & Arpels.

Clarice Cliff was a pioneering British ceramicist who defied expectations and left an indelible mark on the Art Deco movement. Born into a working-class family in 1899, Clarice's artistic talent and relentless ambition propelled her from a factory apprentice to an internationally celebrated designer. We explore her groundbreaking “Bizarre” ware, the bold colors and geometric patterns that revolutionized pottery in the 1920s and ‘30s, and how she carved out a space for herself in a male-dominated industry. Her journey wasn't just about creating beautiful ceramics—it was about innovation, resilience, and breaking societal norms. Listen to the story behind the woman who turned everyday tableware into collectible works of art.

Dans son article intitulé «L'Exposition des Arts décoratifs à Paris, à la recherche d'une formule d'art », publié dans le journal La Meuse, Olympe Gilbart écrit : « Ah ! certes, nous pouvons être quelquefois heurtés dans nos habitudes ; notre œil peut s'étonner de lignes hardies, de rythmes imprévus, d'harmonies inattendues. Mais le temps égalisera tout cela et consacrera la formule que la postérité classera et jugera. » Précisément nommée « Exposition internationale des arts décoratifs et industriels modernes », l'événement se tient d'avril à octobre, dans la capitale française.. Le peintre Charles Dufresne en résume l'esprit général : « L'art de 1900, dit-il, fut l'art du domaine de la fantaisie, celui de 1925 est du domaine de la raison ». C'est, en effet, une tendance qui s'exprime avec les styles Art déco et moderniste, traduisant les aspirations à la liberté qui suivent la Première Guerre mondiale. Dans les grandes métropoles d'Europe et d'Amérique du Nord, on assiste à l'émergence d'une nouvelle élite urbaine et intellectuelle qui souhaitent rompre avec les principes esthétiques et moraux de la société traditionnelle. Les femmes se coupent les cheveux « à la garçonne », les courants artistiques comme le cubisme, le fauvisme, le futurisme inspirent des formes géométriques épurées et des couleurs éclatantes . L'Orient fascine, la vitesse devient un mode d'existence. Les arts décoratifs se réinventent, les artistes et les industriels collaborent pour produire des objets fonctionnels et esthétiques, la maison devient un « art total ». C'est dans ce contexte, que les Van Buuren (David et Alice) vont faire rayonner, à Bruxelles, le « Style 1925 », cette recherche du beaux dans tous les domaines de la vie domestique. Avec nous : Pierre Leclercq, historien de l'alimentation, collaborateur scientifique à l'ULG, responsable du Petit Lancelot qui nous propose des repas-conférences où la gastronomie se mêle à la découverte culturelle et Manon Magotteaux, conservatrice du Musée et Jardins van Buuren. Sujets traités : Art, Déco, Art Déco, Van Buuren, Charles Dufresne, Première Guerre mondiale, style, maisoon, gastronomie Merci pour votre écoute Un Jour dans l'Histoire, c'est également en direct tous les jours de la semaine de 13h15 à 14h30 sur www.rtbf.be/lapremiere Retrouvez tous les épisodes d'Un Jour dans l'Histoire sur notre plateforme Auvio.be :https://auvio.rtbf.be/emission/5936 Intéressés par l'histoire ?

And so we thought we'd again raise a toast to one of the world's most famous hotels, an Art Deco classic attached to the Gilded Age's most prestigious name in luxury and refinement.Now, you might think you know this story -- the famous lobby clock, Peacock Alley, cocktail bars! -- but do we have some surprises for you.The Waldorf Astoria — once the Waldorf-Astoria and even the Waldorf=Astoria — has been a premier name in hotel accommodations since the opening of the very first edition on 34th Street and Fifth Avenue (the location of today's Empire State Building).But the history of the current incarnation on Park Avenue contains the twists and turns of world events, from World War II to recent diplomatic dramas. In essence, the Waldorf Astoria has become the world's convention center.Step past the extraordinary Art Deco trappings, and you'll find rooms which have hosted a plethora of important gatherings, not to mention the frequent homes to Hollywood movie stars.To celebrate the renovated hotel's reopening this spring, the Bowery Boys present a newly re-edited and re-mastered version of their original show from 2016.This show was re-edited and remastered by Kieran Gannon.Join us on Patreon for extra podcasts and lots of other goodiesShare your love of the city's history with a Bowery Boys Walks gift certificate!
