"Becoming Elizabeth Arden : The Woman behind the global Beauty Empire"
Join us for an engaging presentation with Laura Knecht who will discuss the remarkable life and legacy of Elizabeth Arden, one of the most influential pioneers in the beauty industry.
Long before women commonly owned major businesses, Arden built an international beauty empire that transformed skincare, cosmetics, and the way women viewed glamour and self-care.
Known for revolutionizing modern beauty standards, Arden introduced innovative skincare treatments, luxury spas, and holistic wellness concepts while attracting clients from royalty, Hollywood, and high society across the world. Her story is one of ambition, resilience, creativity, and groundbreaking success in a male-dominated era.
Laura will explore the woman behind the iconic brand and the lasting impact her ideas continue to have on beauty, business, and women’s empowerment today.
She will also feature a full display of Arden products dating back to 1920.
