………………..SILK GEORGETTE played a major role in my Spring 1992 Anne Klein Couture Collection……Firstly, I used two different qualities of georgette from Italy…..The first, shown here, is the SILK CREPE GEORGETTE. The difference is…a regular georgette is very thin and transparent…….a SILK CREPE GEORGETTE is heavier and more dense……The crepe version is not transparent, and the fabric is weightier….The three piece suits on the right were all made in the Crepe Georgette. On the right, Yasmeen is wearing an elongated, high notch collar, button front jacket in PUTTY over an IVORY tunic vest. On the bottom she is wearing CEMENT languid pants…..At the left, Gale is wearing a NAVY jacket over a CEMENT tunic and an IVORY tulip shaped skirt….meaning it was fitted through the hips and flared slightly at the hem……..What made the jackets and vests even MORE SPECIAL was that they were DOUBLE GEORGETTE….meaning they were lined in the self georgette fabric, not a typical lining fabric. Even the Ivory bottoms were lined in the self IVORY crepe georgette. This gave the pieces a wonderful drape and flow, and they felt wonderful on the body……The navy short sleeve belted jacket at the lower left was made in a RAYON CADET also from Italy. It was inspired by safari style bush jackets, but it wasn’t a literal translation……………She is wearing it over Ivory Rayon Cadet trousers……..All of the jewelry, shoes and sunglasses were designed to go with the collection.
