Fine

John Beresford Fowler CBE (20 June 1906 – 27 October 1977) was an English interior designer.

Early life

Fowler was born in Lingfield, Surrey, where his father was the clerk of the course at Lingfield Park Racecourse. He moved with his family to Bedford Park, London following his father's death in 1915. He was educated Tormore prep school, and at Felsted School. He left school aged 16 in 1923.

Career

He joined the decorating and antiques firm Thornton Smith, where he painted Chinese-style wallpaper (sold as 18th century originals), and learned other paint decoration techniques, such as marbling and graining. He moved to work in the studio of decorator Margaret Kunzer, and started to decorate furniture for Peter Jones. He established his own business on the Kings Road in Chelsea in 1934, and then went into business with Sybil Colefax, founding Colefax & Fowler. His short sightedness made him medically unfit for military service in the Second World War, but he became an air raid warden and hospital orderly. The decorating business went through a slump during the privations of wartime and post-war austerity, and the business was bought by Nancy Tree (then married to Ronald Tree, and later to Claude Lancaster), principally so they would redecorate her house at Haseley Court. Their personalities clashed: Nancy Astor described them as "the most unhappy unmarried couple in England".

He leased the Hunting Lodge at Odiham in Hampshire from the National Trust in 1947, and his simple but elegant decorative scheme made a great impact. As wartime restrictions relaxed, the decorating business prospered, and Fowler was involved in the redecoration of dozens of substantial country houses and town houses, including Radbourne Hall, Daylesford House, Tyninghame House and Grimsthorpe Castle. He collaborated with John Cornforth to write English Decoration in the 18th Century, published in 1976. He considered himself a "haute couture decorator" but aimed for simple or humble elegance.

He also worked on decorative schemes for Buckingham Palace, Holyroodhouse, Chequers, Chevening, Christ Church, Oxford, and the Bank of England.

He was appointed a Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 1973 and retired in 1975 but had been an adviser to the National Trust since the 1950s and continued to provide them with his advice. He worked on at least 30 of the National Trust's properties, including in particular Clandon Park, Sudbury Hall and Erddig.

He died of cancer. He never married. After his death his home at Odiham was leased by interior designer Nicky Haslam

Love this product but not the best for stubborn pimples
Size: 36 Count (Pack of 1)
The Mighty Patch Original Patch from Hero Cosmetics is hands-down one of the best acne solutions I’ve used. These hydrocolloid stickers actually shrink pimples and whiteheads overnight — I wake up and see a noticeable difference, even on stubborn spots that usually take days to calm down. They’re super easy to use — just stick on before bed and let them work while you sleep. They stay put, even if you accidentally touch your face, and don’t irritate my skin. I also like that they’re practically invisible enough to wear during the day if needed. Great for emergency breakouts or everyday maintenance. For anyone who wants fast, gentle, mess-free results, these Mighty Patches deliver!

Truly Mighty! Best patches we’ve found.
Size: 36 Count (Pack of 1)
These patches live up to the name! They are hands-down the best pimple patches I’ve used. The versatility and fit are perfect, and they actually stay put. I have very sensitive skin and have had zero issues with irritation, which is a huge win. My daughter uses them too and absolutely loves how effective they are. A must-have in our house!

A total game changer (where were these when I was a teen?!)
Size: 72 Count (Pack of 1)
I honestly wish these had been around when I was younger! The Mighty Patch Original is hands-down the most effective way I’ve found to deal with stubborn whiteheads. Instead of picking at my skin and making things worse, I just pop one of these on at night and let it do the work while I sleep. By the morning, you can actually see the gunk it pulled out right on the patch (gross, but strangely satisfying). It significantly reduces the size and redness of the zit in just one use, and because it covers the spot, it stops me from touching it and causing more irritation. The 72-count pack is a great value and lasts quite a while. They stay put all night, even if you toss and turn, and they’re clear enough that you almost forget you’re wearing them. If you’re looking for a stress-free way to clear up your skin overnight, these are a must-have!

Works on all skin types
Size: 36 Count (Pack of 1)
What an amazing product! I'm in my 40s and still experience occasional acne. I purchased Mighty Patch, and after wearing it overnight, my blemish was noticeably cleared up by morning. I have fairly dry skin and already use quality skincare products both morning and night, so I was impressed by how well it worked. My 17-year-old son also tried one when he started getting a few breakouts, and it cleared up his blemish as well. His skin is much oilier than mine, which shows that this product can be effective for both dry and oily skin types. I’m very happy with the results and will definitely be purchasing it again!

Doesn't replace good hygiene efforts
Size: 36 Count (Pack of 1)
It's not a miracle patch if that's what people are buying it for. The patch, once skin has been cleansed and dried, adheres well and stays put overnight. The patch does pull out dead white cells but never has it been one patch and done. I am finding that another patch has to go on to the blemish as it's now open and very red. So depending on how big the blemish is, determins how many patches you will need to fully clear up. On a great note: It does help with preveting me from touching it or picking at it which does indeed help the blemish heal faster. I keep a box in my medicine cabinet for really big, very noticable , blemishes, but I don't find it very cost effective nor do I find that my blemishes are cleared up 100% with use. It's really more a matter of: stop touching your face with dirty hands, don't go to bed with makeup on, stop squeezing/popping white heads, invest in a good facial cleanser with proven ingredients. There is no miracle patch. It's an good product for sure, but not a miracle. It will not replace good hygeine and a good cleanser.
