Awiw Restaurant – Two cultures united in Kazimierz

Helena Rubinstein
Helena Rubinstein was born in the second half of the 19th century and became the founder of a beauty empire, ultimately ranking among the wealthiest women in the world. She was born into a Jewish family in Krakow’s Kazimierz district, in the very building that now houses the Awiw Restaurant. In her youth, she emigrated to Australia, where she began selling skincare creams based on family recipes. Her products quickly gained popularity, allowing her to expand her business into Europe and the United States.
Helena Rubinstein was one of the first to advocate for skincare tailored to different skin types. She revolutionized the cosmetics industry by introducing modern skincare products and pioneering innovative marketing strategies. Her companies operated globally, and she became a symbol of women’s independence and success in business.
Beyond her business achievements, Helena Rubinstein was a philanthropist who supported art, education, and medical research. She passed away at the age of 93, leaving behind a legacy that forever transformed the face of modern cosmetology.
