03 / The people behind the partnership
Lily Pike founded The LAB Artist Agency, a woman-owned creative agency representing artists across fashion, beauty and visual production.
Her work centers on relationships: bringing artists together and creating opportunities for their talent to be seen. Her connection with Félix also extends to the charity dinner series, where she has served on the host committee.
A wider purpose
Félix is wholly owned by The Apareció Foundation. The publication brings together a volunteer creative community, and all net proceeds from Félix Magazine advertisement sales support the Foundation and girls’ education.
