Summer Book Series: Episode 5: The Absolute Woman: It’s All About Feminine Power by Vicky Tiel

The Empowerment Formula

As a young designer in Paris during the swinging sixties, our guest met Elizabeth Taylor and married her makeup man. Vicky & Elizabeth became fast friends and confidants. Along with her Parson’s school of Design classmate, Miss Fonssagrives, they opened a trendy boutique in Rue Bonaparte that catered to the hip and happening: fashion models, movie stars and Paris Society. Vicky and Mia invented the mini, jumpsuit, the caftan and Vicky is now the longest running female designer in Paris. Vicky offers us all that she has learned throughout her life, which reads like a novel. She shares her best advice after dressing women for over 50 years. She will also share the two most enduring lessons Elizabeth Taylor taught her. She is the author of The Absolute Woman: It’s All About Feminine Power and our very special guest, Vicky Teil.
