VICKY TIEL

Vicky Tiel is an American couturière who helped define the modern, body-hugging silhouette and has dressed film stars, musicians, and society women for more than five decades. Her Paris atelier, once shared with friend and muse Elizabeth Taylor, became a destination for women seeking dramatic, perfectly cut evening dresses. Today, her couture archives and bestselling fragrances continue to express a sensual, confident vision of femininity.

Pictured here at Vicky's wedding to Elizabeth's close friend and makeup artist, Ron Berkeley, the two women shared a connection that defined an era of glamour. Elizabeth Taylor was not only a guest at the wedding but a pivotal figure in Vicky's life—discovering her talent in a Paris film studio and becoming the financier of her first boutique. For decades, they traveled the world together, with Vicky designing the caftans and gowns that became signatures of Elizabeth's iconic style.
