………………………..The Spring Anne Klein Couture  Collection of 1992 was very special to me……because it was my LAST spring collection for AK after 20 years of designing and overseeing all aspects of design and advertising…….The photo to the far left is of Christy Turlington in the opening page of my AK Spring 1992 National Ad Campaign…….The unitard and the one button wrap skirt were two key pieces in the collection…….With this collection I wanted to open a dialogue of new possibilities of dressing….knew ways of layering……knew ways to use illusion and transparency and using it as camouflage….Adding an unconstructed and fluid jacket gives the wearer an instant nonchalance…..There is definitely an ‘Air Of India” through out the collection with its’ languid long silhouettes and the iconic gold emb. I hope you enjoy taking this trip back to 1992 with me.

……………………..LOVE CUPCAKE!

…………………………After posting my story about ARMANDO and ROBYN……Celia asked if I had named a shirt after  Robyn, and the answer was yes……but my memory not being as sharp as it used to be, I had to look up exactly what the Robyn shirt was, because I had given her the wrong description? It was actually a tunic version of the “KATE” shirt. It has a classic menswear collar and placket front….However, the body, still having princess seams,  was a little less shaped and it was a tunic length with side slits….It became just as successful as the “Kate” shirt……BTW, Robyn had asked me to design this cotton stretch shirt for her to wear in the salon …..She loved it!
