Julia “Talia Leibov” Haart was born in Moscow, Russia. Just three years after his birth, his parents moved from Russia, then known as the Soviet Union, to Austin, Texas, United States. She was enrolled in a private school and was the only student of Jewish origin. During their fourth year, they moved to Monsey, New York, where the population was predominantly Haredi.

At 18, Julia decides to attract a Hebrew man and takes the name Talia. A year later, she married her first husband.

For its fall/winter 2017 show, Haart hosted a “La Perla Manor” show that included Naomi Campbell, Lindsey Wixson, Sasha Pivovarova and Kendall Jenner.

Haart is known for her 2017 Met Gala dress, which she designed for Kendall Jenner. The dress was made of 85,000 crystals attached to a single string. In March 2019, she became general manager and creative director. Three years later, in 2022, she was fired by her husband Silvio Scaglia, now ex-husband, for embezzlement of company funds.
