Young fashion Stylist
Uses 'American Look'
'U
By ARLINE LEWIS
Fresh ideas translated into ex-
citing and individual fashion have
made Anne Klein one of the most
famous young designers in Ameri-
ca.
The slim brunette, who has al-
ready won several awards for her
designing efforts, proudly consid-
ers herself a member of the "new
regime" in the profession.
Made up of several young styl-
ists the "new regime" has infused
modern ideas into fashion, the
lifeblood of the garment industry
and has partially eliminated the
clotihing nanufacturer's apprehen-
sion of hiring unexperienced de-
signers.
Soft-Spoken Designer
The soft-spoken designer, who
stands a pert five feet three inches,
tarted her career as a free-lanceI
illustrator for well-known styl-
ists.
"The training I received at Girls
Commercial High School in Brook-
lyn was great," she said smiling.
She received a scholarship to
an art college, but after a few
months found it not very worth-

Popular accessories for that new
spring hairdo are metal and plastic
bands that clip over the top of
the head..
;'These versatil6 hair ornaments
come in models adorned with se-
quins, rhinestones and colored
stones for formal occasions. They
are also available in plain gold or
silver plate or mottled plastic.
Some of the bands are made of
wire covered with velvet ribbon
and decorated with tinyartificial
flowers.
One of the most popular fea-
tures of the bands is that when a
veil is attached, the headpiece is
immediately transformed into one
of the brief new spring h1ats.
while. "They told me I was a
natural," the pretty designer com-
mented, so I started my career at
17,
Tries Designing
Sketching other people's work
lost its charm after a few years
and Mrs. Klein decided to try a
hand at designing. A New York
clothing manufacturer took an in-
terest in her) and gave the aspiring
stylist her first job.
Her creations revolved around
the junior figure, which had been
neglected by the fashion indus-
try.
Success greeted her, but the
youngest designer in the field'de-
cided to retire and become a house-
wife. Away from a specific job,
she continued to design for her
friends "just for fun."
Temporary Stay
When her husband entered the
dress business she joined him tem-
porarily as stylist until he, found
another designer. Her "tenipor-
ary" stay has still not ended and
has made the firm one of the most
important in the country.
Two years ago Mrs. Klein won
the Mademoiselle magazine award
in designing which is given each
year to the 10 top women in each
field.
Several months ago she was
given the Coty award "for
achievement in American fashion."
"American fashion," the designer
remarked, "is not as dependent on
Paris as it used to be."
Rather, Mrs. Klein explained,
Parisian designers have come here
for ideas. "Their fashions used
to be highly intricate, but because
of American influence, they are
much simpler."
Describing her new spring line,
pert Mrs. Klein stressed the "gen-
eral casualness" of its appearance.
The "American Look" of pleated
skirts, white shirts and short navy
jackets prevails.

International students express
a variety of opinions on American
fashions.
One student from Thailand ex-
plained that his first impressions
of American styles were gotten
through movies, especially musi-
cals. When he arrived here,
though, he found that our stylesI
are not quite as extreme as those
seen in films.
Women in Thailand cities follow
American styles by reading fashion
magazines. They don't wear bob-
by sox, however, because they con-
sider these for children, and be-
cause of the heat.
ing." Here women like to1be seen
in them, whereas in Thailand,
women in bathing suits avoid be-
ing viewed by others.
One complaint, though, was that
"Bermudas look strange because
they distort a woman's figure."
A German student said that here
people have more clothes than they
do in Germany.
Sport Clothes
American women wear sport
clothes, such as slacks, shorts and
bobby sox, more often than Ger-
man women do. Women there
tend to dress up more and to take
greater care of how they look,
since they usually walk wherever
they go and are seen by a great
many people.
Since there is less out-of-school
social life school, they wear dresses
or skirts and blouses to classes
more often than the uniform
sweaters and skirts worn here.
In America there are more for-
mal dances, and almost every
woman has at least one formal
gown.
Germans Dress Neatly
German men also wear sport
clothes less frequently than Ameri-
can men. They generally dress
,neatly and don't wear levis or
saddle shoes.
A student from England com-
ments that the men in England/
dress about the same way as
American men. There are, how-
ever, a few differences in women's
clothes.
He feels that American women
generally have good taste and take
pride in their appearance. They
dress more informally and less
uniformally than English women.
