Renowned as the world's foremost designer of fine handbags, Judith Leiber has melded the realms of art and fashion in her exquisite bags for more than thirty years. Now poised to celebrate its 45th anniversary, the legendary company, which has changed hands, has evolved into a highly successful accessories empire known as Leiber, producing not only its famous handbags, but also exciting new lines of fragrance, fine jewellery, shoes, eyewear and leather goods, as well as accessory lines designed especially for Leiber by stylist-to-the-stars Rachel Zoe and fashion designer Andrew Gn.In this follow-up edition to "The Artful Handbag", Leiber combines images of the seminal bags from decades past with the glamour and panache of the new product lines. The focus will be on the last ten years of the company and the ubiquity of the bag at the Oscars, Cannes, the Emmys, the Globes, the Inaugural Ball - virtually any place where there's a red carpet, one will find Leiber bags clasped in the hands of A-list stars and celebrities.
Its impact on today's high-profile red carpet style will be examined in the introduction by Frank Zambrelli, president of Leiber, which reveals that while its creations are utterly timeless, they are also appealing to younger women everywhere, making them the perfect gift for today's Everywoman.
