About MeThis three piece suit is an example from the ready-to-wear collections that Klein
designed in the 1970s and 1980s. Printed polyester jersey fabrics were used and each item of the costume coordinates meticulously. Klein's preoccupation with the colours he observed in the landscape around his home in the Scottish Borders is channelled into these striking abstract ensembles.
More About Me

Is this the world's brownest outfit? Surely the subtle use of colour in the skirt saves it a little.
