**THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER** From the star of Netflix's My Unorthodox Life, a riveting, inspiring memoir. Run, don't walk, to get this book!' LISA RINNA Her story is an inspiring, believe-in-your-dreams, never-give-up, anything-in-life-is-possible story of hope.
This book is a must read!' COCO ROCHA 'Julia Haart is a hustler. I'm incredibly inspired by her stories, which are always told with honesty and heart. Never willing to accept the status quo, time and again she has fought for her place in the world and demanded her seat at the table. 'Julia lives her life with an exhilarating fervour that's contagious to anyone lucky enough to be around her. Propulsive and unforgettable, Haart's story is the journey from a world of 'no' to a world of 'yes', and an inspiration for women everywhere to find their freedom, their purpose and their voice. 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 fashion. 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 forty-two, she finally mustered the courage to flee. She started preparing for her escape by educating herself and creating a 'freedom' fund. But when no one was looking, Haart would pour over fashion magazines and sketch designs for the clothes she dreamed about wearing in the world beyond her Orthodox suburb. In the ultra- Orthodox world, clothing has one purpose - to cover the body, head to toe - and giving any more thought than that to one's appearance 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. Eventually, when Haart's youngest 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 twenty-three years, her marriage would rule her life. At nineteen, after a lifetime spent caring for her seven younger siblings, she was married off to a man she barely knew. Brazen, with its soul-bearing, cathartic style is set to inspire.' LOVEREADING EXPERT REVIEW Ever 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 rules of ultra-Orthodox Judaism. Haart is a hustler, a born entrepreneur, charismatic enough to attract investment like a pop ingenue attracts talent scouts, a "fighter" (her words) and a woman who loves and understands fashion.' POLLY VERNON, THE TIMES 'An ode to believing in yourself, believing in your dreams, and it being never too late to transform your life. Written with great intensity and rare candor, Brazen is a story of longing for more and manifesting that vision.' TOMMY HILFIGER 'I congratulate Haart on the show and book, both of which I enjoyed. Julia Haart tells the story of her extraordinary journey, from leaving an ultra-Orthodox Jewish community to her rise from housewife to shoe designer, to CEO and co-owner of the modelling agency Elite World Group.
