She along with Bonnie Cashin, Anne Fogarty, and Claire McCardell were the creators of “American Designer Sportswear" There are few designers who changed the course of American fashion. Claire McCardell, for example, pioneered American sportswear, while Ralph Lauren created an aspirational American lifestyle brand. But it was Anne Klein who championed classic, casual work wear that catered to the modern woman. Known for her separates and the concept of a “fully coordinated closet,” Klein’s female-centric design approach altered the way women dressed. Recognizing a cultural shift, her clothing catered to the evolving lifestyle and role of American women that was no longer restricted to just the home. Posh dresses were replaced with casual blazers and trousers meant to be mixed and matched for any occasion. “Clothes aren’t going to change the world, the women who wear them will,” Klein famously said. Klein passed away in 1974, but her legacy as a prominent figure in the American fashion landscape endures. As Anne Klein celebrates 50 years of business, the brand curated a capsule collection of vintage pieces from the archives that still hold true today.
