Calvin Klein.  I owned a winter coat in hunter green with hunter green fox on the cuffs and collar that came to a V.  I donated to a mental health organization that had a store with used clothes.  I wonder what lucky person got that coat.  The other coat was ankle length wet look black rain coat.

I always admired Calvin's simplicity look in his clothes for women.  If you wanted beautiful fabric and a clean lines look, purchase Calvin Klein.  His sister Anne was also a designer of women's clothes.

@Katcat1  I agree that Calvin Klein clothing is so simple and sleek. Another great American designer. However, Anne Klein was not his sister.

Totally forgot about Edith Head. Would have been great to talk to her about all the clothes she designed for movies back in the day.

I have met Edith Head, Bob Mackie and Jason Wu.  But would love to have a LONG lunch with Bob and Edith!  Jason never talks about it, but he designed clothes for the 16" Gene Marshall doll for two years in early 2000's, and I met him at the two doll conventions.  We couldn't decide if he was bored, or shy, didn't talk much.  Edith talked at our Meier & Frank dept store in the '80s about fashions and designing for the stars.  Bob Mackie was at a Seattle Barbie doll convention in the late '80s and he signed dolls, talked with us, very friendly!

Edith Head

Though I never met her, I was thrilled to attend an exhibition of her sketches at a Manhattan gallery in the late 1960's.

@wilma  Oleg Cassini. Loved how he styled Jackie. That "look" still exists and is timeless IMO. Legend

In the late 1960's, I worked for Connaught Films in NYC. One afternoon as I was leaving work with an awful headache and my eyes cast downward, I noticed someone holding open the lobby door for me to exit.  As I raised my head, I was stunned to see that I was about to thank Oleg Cassini. Such a gentleman!

I smiled and thanked him. Handsome man!

By your mention of Oleg Cassini, you helped me to recall a special moment in time!
