Anne Klein II

Born:-08/03/1923
Died:-03/19/1974

Trendsetter Anne Klein made a name for herself by introducing a sporty element into US fashion. The native New Yorker went into freelance design after leaving school, eliminating fussiness from women's garments and giving a more youthful look.

Anne Klein & Co was set up in 1968 and after Anne Klein's death from cancer in 1974, Donna Karan and Louis Dell'Olio continued as co-designers. Dell'Olio is now head designer, and oversees Anne Klein II.
