Miriam Haskell
The legendary Miriam Haskell was born in 1899 in New Albany, Indiana, at the height of the art nouveau vanguard. Haskell opened her first boutique, "Le Bijou de l'Heure," in 1926 inside New York's McAlpin Hotel. She created collections for the society women of her day, the lavish productions of Flo Ziegfeld, as well as the couture of Coco Chanel. Joan Crawford, Lucille Ball, the Duchess of Windsor, to name a few, were among her greatest patrons. Haskell pioneered the design of beautiful, original, and affordable pieces for over 30 years. Vintage pieces of Miriam Haskell designs are highly sought after today and are widely held in both private collections and museums internationally. Miriam Haskell legendary creations are still made entirely by hand in New York with great attention to detail.
