“RUNWAY TO REALITY”

………………….I found the photo of the beaded swirl dress from my 1991 Anne Klein Fall collection……..It was completely covered in hand sewn Swarovski Crystals and Jet beads….The dress looks as modern and relevant today as it did THIRTY YEARS AGO….I can’t believe I did this dress thirty years ago!!!!.This was the inspiration for my sweater for the “Runway to Reality” show. The sweater for the show had the same swirl design bordering the ballet neckline. It was translated into cupped sequins…..The dress is on super model Jasmeen Ghauri.

    Timeless and eternally chic and wearable. Image what that would cost today?

    That is a WOW. Did you say Chantal was the lucky recipient of this amazing piece of art? Jac must have been the center of attention when she wore this.

    Love this dress, Louis. Thirty years ago I could have worn it–but could not have afforded it! Isn’t that the way it goes?

      Carol, don’t feel bad,…very few women could afford this dress. When I did these extremely expensive runway dresses, maybe one or two stores bought one for a specific customer. We sold more at special Charity Trunk shows where there was a captive audience with lots of $$$$$$$
