‘My Love’ (1925).

French illustrator René Vincent (1879-1936) for ‘La Vie Parisienne’ magazine. René Vincent was a French illustrator, painter and poster designer. Prevalent in the 1920s-1930s, he worked in the popular Art Deco style. His illustrations helped define early 20th-century advertising, birthing countless imitators and admirers alike. Tintin creator, Hergé, cited René Vincent as an inspiration.

He created perfect worlds with glamour fashionistas in luxury settings, partaking in jolly pastimes. His characters were vibrant and confident. Which in turn attracted many fashion and lifestyle periodicals such as La Vie Parisienne, Femina, Le Rire, and Fantasio. Interestingly, he went under a few pseudonyms, Rene Mael, Rageot and Dufour, allowing him to change style freely.

Léon Benigni, Cover Illustration for Femina Magazine, Modes d'hiver, circa 1929.

Biography

A leading fashion illustrator, draughtsman and lithographr, Léon Benigni worked with such designers and couturiers as Jeanne Lanvin, Marcel Rochas, Elsa Schiaparelli, Lucien Lelong, Jacques Fath, Jean Patou, Nina Ricci and Cristôbal Balenciaga. He produced drawings and cover designs for such magazines as Harper’s Bazaar, Femina, La Donna, Art Goût Beauté, The Bystander and Modes et Travaux, and also designed a number of travel posters in the 1920s and 1930s (notably one for the spa and ski resort of Brides-les-Bains in the Savoie region) and advertisements for Cadillac and LaSalle cars. In an appreciation of Léon Benigni, published in an English magazine article in 1933, it was noted that ‘M. Benigni is known to thousands through the medium of the leading fashion magazines. This young Frenchman has brought himself to the front rank of modern fashion artists. He has developed a style which fits perfectly with present ideas of fashion. Modern fashions contain an element of caricature, though they never lose their delicacy and charm. These qualities are apparent in Bénigni’s work. In avoiding heaviness and an exact representation, he works in line, and his line work is light and suggestive enough in its simplicity to hold all the attraction so necessary in publicity. The female face is depicted almost as a formula of design. The thin lines in which it is traced are not an accurate representation, but it is impossible to deny the conviction of reality carried by the design…an addition or alteration to any of these drawings of Bénigni’s, in the form of a few extra lines or corrections, would ruin the effect. They are, for their purpose, complete as they stand.’ (x)

From “Femina Palast” to “Ellington Hotel Berlin“ ... a living piece of history

It was here where Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald and Duke Ellington performed in the legendary jazz club “Badewanne”, David Bowie, Romy Haag and Lou Reed partied in the no less legendary “Dschungel”, and old UFA heroes and later television stars stood on the stage of the “Berlin Theatre”. The building on Nürnberger Straße 50-55 in the city center west – transformed via loving detail work in 2007 into ELLINGTON HOTEL BERLIN – is an establishment with tradition.

The building known under the names “Haus Nürnberg”, “Femina or Tauentzien Palast” that emerged from 1928 to 1931 under the impression of the pioneering buildings by Berlin architect Erich Mendelsohn was designed by a very successful team of architects at that time, Richard Bielenberg and Josef Moser in a combination of Art Déco and Bauhaus style. They designed one of the longest, most conspicuous and perhaps also one of the most beautiful facades in Berlin: elongated ribbon windows across the continuous shop floor expose the four upper floors. The wall areas are clad with lavish travertine and framed by small ribbons of dark bricks below and above the strongly profiled windows. The 185 metre long façade is structured through staircase towers and oriels. The entrances and display windows of the shop front are framed in brass. This also contributes towards the elegant exterior of this commercial building. 

But the domicile of the Ellington Hotel is not only listed because of the largely originally preserved façade. The entrance rooms, staircases and a few halls inside also preserve the charm of the late twenties and early thirties: in white and green wall tiles, brass staircase railings, stucco ornaments on the ceilings and gold-plated lettering on the walls.

Femina. Anonymous. Poster. Printer: Lit. Mateu, Madrid.

The French have always been role models for high-end fashion with their undefinable aura of effortless class, and this bourgeois Spanish woman has fallen under the spell. Dressed to the nines on a stroll with her elegant greyhound, she's picked up the latest issue of Femina, a Parisian women's magazine that covered leisure activities, fashion, literature, and art. It was quite the feminist publication: in 1903, they dedicated an entire issue to female artists at the 1903 Salon, and the illustrations and cover were all drawn by women.
