Julia Haart previously Talia Leibov (born April 11, 1971) is an American fashion designer, entrepreneur, and author. She is the former chief executive officer (CEO) of Elite Model Management. Although she has claimed to be a “co-owner” of Elite World Group, a Delaware court ruled that she does not own 50 percent of Elite World Group. She previously owned a namesake shoe collection, and was creative director at Italian luxury house La Perla. Haart is also the subject and executive producer of the Netflix miniseries My Unorthodox Life, which described her decision, in 2013, to leave her Haredi community.
Haart was born in Moscow in 1971. She and her parents left Russia when she was 3, and moved to Austin, Texas. In Austin, she attended private school, and was the school's only Jewish student. When Haart was in fourth grade, they moved to Monsey, New York, which has a large Haredi community that appealed to her parents, as they grew more religious.
Haart attended Bais Yaakov Academy in Brooklyn, New York. At 16, she taught herself how to sew, and read fashion magazines in her house. When she was 18, she changed her first name, "to the more Hebrew-sounding Talia, in order to attract a match". At 19, she married her first husband, a yeshiva student, five years her senior.
