Personal lifeTina Leser was born Christine Wetherill Shillard-Smith in Philadelphia.[1] She studied art at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, the School of Industrial Arts in Philadelphia, and the Sorbonne in Paris.[2] Leser made her debut in Philadelphia in 1929.[3] Tina married Curtis Leser in November 1931 and the couple moved to Honolulu.[4] In 1936, the Lesers divorced.[2] In 1948, Tina Leser married James J. Howley (1920-2012).[5] The couple had one daughter.[1] In 1949, Leser and Howley took a round the world honeymoon that helped to develop Leser's international aesthetic.[1][3] In 1982, the Long Island home of Leser and Howey was burglarized. Two million dollars worth of art and silver were stolen, including a Picasso and a Monet.[6] The thieves were caught.[7] Leser's mother, Georgine Shillard-Smith, founded the Gulf Coast Art Center. Leser was president of the organization from 1952 to 1954.[6] The Gulf Coast Art Center closed in 2009.[8] CareerLeser opened a store in Honolulu in 1935. Until it closed in 1942, the store sold resort wear, primarily playsuits and coverups, designed by Leser. Fabrics used included sailcloth, Hawaiian and Filipino fabrics.[2] Encouraged by Edna Woolman Chase and Carmel Snow, Leser met with buyers at Saks Fifth Avenue who purchased 500 playsuits from Leser.[2] Leser briefly ran her own company in New York from 1941 to 1943.[2] Her 1941 collections included Hawaiian palanka fabric, hand painted fabric, and menswear.[9] At that time, her business was headquartered at 1 West 47th Street in Manhattan.[3] A 1941 article describes her salon as having "hand-painted satin drapes and sea-shell chairs."[9] From 1942 to 1952, Leser designed for the Edwin H. Foreman sportswear company.[1] While working with Edwin H. Foreman, Leser introduced harem pants, dhoti pants, and toreador pants as "at home" clothing for American women.[3] In 1952, Lesser again founded her own company, Tina Leser Inc., which she headed until her retirement in 1964.[1] The headquarters were at 550 7th Avenue in Manhattan.[3] During this phase in her career, Leser promoted hand painted Hawaiian print, sarong-type play clothes, and cashmere dresses.[3] From 1949 to 1953, Leser organized the Tina Leser prize for Japanese designers.[10] Leser's celebrity clients included Joan Crawford, Joan Fontaine, Paulette Goddard, Audrey Hepburn, and Kim Novak.[3] Leser designed costumes for the 1950 film Born to be Bad. Star Joan Fontaine said "the only acceptable art of the film was my wardrobe designed by Tina Leser."[11] Leser also designed the costumes for the 1946 Broadway musical Park Avenue.[12] Tina Leser died on January 23, 1986.[1] LegacyLiz Claiborne's began her career as a model and sketch artist for Tina Leser.[30][13][14] From Leser, Clairborne learned "that being a designer meant hard, long, interminably long hours of work..."[15]Tina Leser's work is held by the Metropolitan Museum of Art,[16] Museum of Fine Arts in Boston,[17] Philadelphia Museum of Art,[18] Phoenix Art Museum,[19] and Kent State University Museum,[20] Awards
