Synopsis
This highly sought-after volume detailing one of the most influential magazines of the twentieth century is now back in print at a newly affordable price.
In 1950, Fleur Cowles established what would become one of the most important and talked about magazines ever created. Critically lauded for its sharp mix of clothes, literature, art, travel, decor, theatre, and humour, Flair made publishing history with its combination of eclectic editorial content and lavish production quality. Recalled as "the first magazine that became an art form," The Best of Flair is a compilation of the magazine’s best content as chosen by the woman who created it. Along with its distinctive production values, Flair also features interviews and contributions from some of the most noted artists and celebrities of the past fifty years, including Lucian Freud, Jean Cocteau, Tallulah Bankhead, Saul Steinberg, Salvador Dalí, Simone de Beauvoir, Walker Evans, James Michener, Ogden Nash, Gypsy Rose Lee, Clare Boothe Luce, George Bernard Shaw, John O’Hara, Margaret Mead, and Tennessee Williams.
Now, more than ten years after this book was first published by Rizzoli, and more than fifty years after the magazine ceased publication, this facsimile edition offers the same ingenious bookmaking of its predecessor, including multiple gatefolds with die-cuts, booklets, and accordion folder leaflets.

About the Author
Fleur Cowles (1908-2009) was an American artist, editor and writer who is best known for her pioneering work at Flair, which heavily influenced not just the magazine industry but also writers, artists and thinkers from around the world. After the shuttering of Flair, Cowles went on to serve on various government committees and also served as a proxy for Dwight D. Eisenhower at the coronation of Elizabeth II.

Condition: Very Good. Hardcover with dust jacket. Like new in publisher's shrink-wrap. These facsimile pages from the twelve issues of Flair are a celebration of Fleur Cowles zest for creativity in the arts. The 338 pages must have been a challenge for the Hong Kong printers, they had to cope with various foldout pages, die-cut holes, different paper stock and bind in several short pages, two concertina foldouts and five sixteen page booklets.
