Anne Klein died of breast cancer in 1974 but her line continued on with Donna Karan. As a kid I can remember the ads and clothing created for her brand and always picking up a very New York City chic kind of vibe and a hint of Faye Dunaway. I highly recommend taking a tour of Anne Klein's history on her website HERE. She was a Brooklyn gal and was instrumental in the launch of modern sportswear.
One final note, notice the fabulous stippled design for the A.K. logo?! I don't know if the lion logo will ever reach the status of Seurat's "A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte" stippled piece but I certainly, for sure, love both of these images.
This fabulous vintage silk scarf is available for purchase at Vintage Stew on Etsy right $$HERE$$.
