Biography
Anne Klein was an American fashion designer. Klein began working in the garment industry right out of high school, where within the year, she began working at Varden Petites. There she redesigned the company's line and introduced a new style of ready-to-wear clothing for young smaller-built women, which would later become know as the "Junior Miss" category. In 1948, she married clothing manufacturer Ben Klein and became principal designer of his new company, Junior Sophisticates. She and her husband later divorced in 1960, which prompted Klein to open up her own design studio in 1963 where she specialized in redesigning the failing clothing lines of other companies. Her company, Anne Klein and Company opened in 1968 where she acted as director and co-owner.
