RIP, @JudithLeiberNY. Remembered most for your magnificent beaded #Minaudières (sparkling with @Swarovski-crystals), as well as the #EveningBags you created using gorgeous #ExoticSkins and #SemiPreciousStones – the heights to which you took accessory-design inspired the generations of consumers and designers that have followed. And follow you they did, with every innovation and accolade, whether the debut of your eponymous company (1963), being the first #AccesoriesDesigner to win a #CotyAward (1973), winning the @NeimanMarcus Award (1980), and receiving the @CFDA’s #LifetimeAchievementAward (1994). Thank you for making our evenings sparkle and our lives just a little bit more whimsical. #AlehaHaSholem #JudithLeiber #QueenOfMinaudières #BornInBudapest #HolocaustSurvivor #Married72Years #Innovator #Fashion #Accessories #Style #NewYork (at Judith Leiber Inc)
