Limited Seating – Reservations Required
Ms. Phillips will talk about Judith Leiber’s life and her ascent to the top of the fashion industry. Born in Hungary, Judith began her career as a trainee at a handbag company. She was the first woman graduated to master craftswoman, becoming the first woman to join the Hungarian Handbag Guild in Budapest. Being of Jewish heritage and living in Budapest, Judith endured the horror of Nazi persecution throughout World War II. Leiber, who immigrated to the United States in 1947, founded her own business in 1963. She is known for her crystal minaudieres – evening purses made of a metal shell often encrusted with Swarovski crystals, plated with silver or gold and in various forms, such as baby pigs, slices of watermelon, cupcakes, peacocks, penguins and snakes. Sold at exclusive boutiques around the world, her purses may cost up to several thousand dollars and have become a status symbol for many women including many American First Ladies.
