NYC’s Fashion Week marked the first US showing of Parisian designer Lloyd Klein. Gracing 7th on Sixth with his Spring/Summer 2001, Lloyd Klein expands the global attention initiated from his first Paris showing in the early 90’s. He has shown his collections in Milan, Tokyo, Moscow, Sophia, Belgrade and Sydney and will continue in the US with a trunk show at the legendary MARTHA’s in Palm Beach, Florida.

To his credit he was the head designer at Gres in the mid 90’s, having mastered the Art of Gres, (a technique of draping fabric pioneered by Madame Gres.) He is now critically compared to Balenciaga and Chanel. Lloyd Klein design’s are a memoir of modernist architect. Attention to structural form and elegant silhouette - less frivolous ornamentation. He creates intensity by coupling the severe line with seductive, luxurious fabrics.
