Keeneland Library Lecture Series: Stacy A. Cordery
Elizabeth Arden redefined beauty, literally changing the faces of women and building a global beauty empire from scratch. Arden’s Red Door made her luxury salons internationally recognizable, but not everyone knew of her connection to cerise and blue—the colors of Maine Chance Farm under which she raced her prized thoroughbreds. As an owner and breeder, Arden spent lavishly and successfully, gaining a quirky reputation as Lady Lipstick: a woman who treated her horses with her beauty creams, hired and fired personnel with lightning speed, and spoke out against mistreatment of animals. This acclaimed release explores Arden’s captivating story as a builder of beauty and thoroughbred empires.
