Elizabeth Arden is one of the world's most prestigious cosmetics and fragrance companies. Decades ago, Elizabeth Arden completely transformed the world's perception of beauty! With cross-generational innovative ideas, Ms. Arden combined beauty with exercise, instilling in consumers the concepts of healthy beauty and body shaping through the Red Door Salon.
Florence Nightingale Graham was born in Toronto, Canada, in 1878. She came to the United States at a young age and first worked at a cosmetics company in New York. In 1910, she borrowed $6,000 from a relative and opened her own beauty salon on New York's Fifth Avenue, known as the fashion center of America. Soon after, Florence Nightingale Graham changed her name to Elizabeth Arden and used it as the name of her salon.
