That was what was presented in her show and that’s how most of us know her. How did that change her life and how it ended in separation/divorce. There was so much about an ex lover Lucas and nothing about her meeting and marrying the man she chose. I was so anxious to read this book because I wanted know how she made it from a very closed life to running a huge company.

Along the way, her four children-Batsheva, Shlomo, Miriam, and Aron-have not only accepted but embraced her transformation. Soon she would become co-owner and CEO of Elite World Group, and one of the most powerful people in the fashion industry. Just a few years later, she was named creative director of La Perla. Within a week of her escape, Haart founded a shoe brand, and within nine months, she was at Paris Fashion Week. At the age of 42, she finally mustered the courage to flee the fundamentalist life that was strangling her soul. But when no one was looking, Haart would pore over fashion magazines and sketch designs for the clothes she dreamed about wearing in the world beyond her Orthodox suburb. She started preparing for her escape by educating herself and creating a “freedom” fund. In the ultra-Orthodox world, clothing has one purpose-to cover the body, head to toe-and giving any thought to one’s appearance beyond that is considered sinful, an affront to God. She knew that if she didn’t find a way to leave, her daughters would be forced into the same unending servitude that had imprisoned her. Eventually, when Haart’s younger daughter, Miriam, started to innocently question why she wasn’t allowed to sing in public, run in shorts, or ride a bike without being covered from neck to knee, Haart reached a breaking point. For the next 23 years, her marriage would rule her life. At 19, after a lifetime spent caring for her seven younger siblings, she was married off to a man she barely knew. “An irresistible read. Written with great intensity and rare candor, Brazen is a story of longing for more and manifesting that vision.” (Tommy Hilfiger)Įver since she was a child, every aspect of Julia Haart’s life-what she wore, what she ate, what she thought-was controlled by the dictates of ultra-Orthodox Judaism. A riveting, inspiring memoir of one woman’s escape from an extremist religious sect and an extraordinary rise from housewife to shoe designer, to CEO and co-owner of the modeling agency Elite World Group
