“BLACK SEPARATES”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

……………..All of the pieces shown here were made in a Silk and Rayon Blend in the same construction as the 100% Sil Cadet….so they had a marvelous expensive feeling, and weight to the fabric….On the far left the model is wearing a JUMPSUIT with side buttons….Her companion in the photo is wearing the same jumpsuit with a cutaway BOLERO JACKET………….Giselle, to the right, is wearing the same Bolero jacket, but this time over a white silk long sleeve, jewel neck blouse. The matching skirt had a below the waist contour band with two buttons…..All of the “bean” shaped buttons were custom made for me by my jewelry licensee in 18 karat gold plate……It was reported to me that some women were actually cutting them off, and stealing them when they took the clothes to the dressing room!…….All of the jewelry was made with 18 Karat gold plated my chains and bead incrusted in resin jewelry.

“LACE…..ON CHRISTY”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

……………..Lace, a fabric used for centuries, I think is one of the most feminine and romantic of all the fabrics…..It’s hard to believe that at one time…not all that long ago….all lace was made by hand!….This is an IVORY LACE DRESS worn by Christy……The simple lines that gently follow the shape of the body, has an elegant yet casual almost tee shirt look…..The lace was from France, and was quite a intricate pattern…..One of the great things about this dress, according to Jac, was is was so easy to pack, and took no room in the luggage….in between a few sheets of tissue paper……..Christy is wearing the dress with a pair of MAJOR pearl hanging earrings!

………………………The SHARPNESS & BOLDNESS of BLACK & WHITE is appealing to many women….especially when you add the bold contrast of black and white to BOLD SHAPES!…….Here are two examples from my Spring Anne Klein 1991 collection….At the far left on Gayle Elliot, is my PORTRAIT COLLAR SILK GAZAR blouse with black borders, worn with black silk cadet trousers…..Black Jet and Pearl earrings finish the look…………On the far right, Giselle wears a dress made out of a combination of the black silk cadet and the white silk Gazar…..Her bib necklace and hanging earrings are all made out of pearls and black jet hanging from gold fine chain…………The criss cross shoes are Anne Klein……..I can recall Jac wearing these pieces at different events…..she looked spectacular!
