Paul Iribe was born in Angouleme, France. He started his career in illustration and design as a newspaper typographer and magazine illustrator at numerous Parisian journals and daily papers, including Le temps and Le rire. In 1906 Iribe collaborated with a number of avant-garde artists to create the satirical journal Le temoin, and his illustrations in this journal attracted the atttention of the fashion designer Paul Poiret.

This limited edition publication 250 copies was innovative in its use of vivid fauvist colors and the simplified lines and flattened planes of Japanese prints. To create the plates, Iribe utilized a hand-coloring process called pochoir, in which bronze or zinc stencils are used to build up layers of color gradually. This publication, and others that followed, anticipated a revival of the fashion plate in a modernist style to reflect a newer, more streamlined fashionable silhouette. In 1911, the couturier Jeanne Paquin also hired Iribe, along with the illustrators Georges Lepape and Georges Barbier, to create a similar portfolio of her designs, entitled L’Eventail et la fourrure chez Paquin.

Throughout the 1910s Iribe became further involved in fashion and added design for theater, interiors, and jewelry to his repertoire. He continued to illustrate fashion, opened a store of decorative art on the rue du Faubourg St.-Honore in Paris, and created textiles for the firm Bianchini Ferier and for designer Andre Groult. His association with the theater resulted in several publications related to the renowned dancer Vaslav Nijinsky, including the album Prelude a l’apres-midi d’unfaune, which captured Nijinsky’s choreography for the Claude Debussy composition in photography by Adolph de Meyer.

Iribe is perhaps best recognized for his contributions to t he Gazette du bon ton. Started in 1912 by the publisher Poiret commissioned Iribe to illustrate his first major dress collection in a 1908 portfolio entitled Les robes de Paul Poiret racontees Lucien Vogel, the fashion journal featured the creations of the top couture houses illustrated by the leading visual artists of the day, including, Iribe, Georges Barbier, Georges Lepape, A.E. Marty, and Charles Martin. Like Iribe’s earlier work, the magazine was a deluxe limited edition journal. The publication included between eight and ten pochoir plates in each issue and helped position fashion graphics as a modern medium. While the Gazette du bon ton slowed its publication during World War I, it resumed putting out monthly editions from the end of the war until 1925, and a total of sixty-nine issues were printed. In 1925, the publisher Conde Nast purchased the Gazette and it merged with Vogue.
In 1919, Iribe moved to New York, and his art décor style was further disseminated to the American fashion buying public through his continued work in fashion illustration and interior design. His work was published in seven issued of American Vogue, and he also opened a store on Fifth Avenue called Paul Iribe Designs New York-Paris. Iribe was one of the first French fashion figures to work in Hollywood. Cecil B. DeMille commissioned him to create clothing for Gloria Swanson in the 1919 film male and Female. This film marked the beginning of six-years of collaboration with the Hollywood studio, during which Iribe acted as artistic director for eight DeMille films.

Iribe moved back to France in 1930 and became involved in numerous design projects, including the publication of Choix, a book that showcased his designs for furniture, decorative arts, and jewelry. He continued to design jewelry, working with Coco Chanel in 1932 to create a line that her couture house produced. In 1933 Iribe was awarded la Legion d’honneur for his work as an artist-illustrator. He died of a heart attack in 1935 at Chanel’s villa in Roquebrune Cap Martin, France.
Anne Klein was born Hannah Golofskyin in Brooklyn, New York on June 7, 1923. She studied fine arts and design at the Girls Commercial High School in New York and would earn a scholarship to Traphagen School of Fashion in New York City.
From the early age of fifteen, Klein was already working as a freelance sketcher. She would later marry her first husband Ben Klein who was a garment manufacturer in 1948, with whom she founded Junior Sophisticates. She divorced Klein in the 1960s but continued to work with him until 1965. However, in 1963, Klein married Mathew Rubenstein with whom she started another company; Anne Klein & Co.

Anne Klein's ambitions were focused mainly on sportswear with a touch of elegance. Her lines often exhibited interchangeable clothing and accessories. She was the first of her kind to establish the concept of separates dressing, matching dresses and jackets, wasp-waisted dresses, blazers and battle jackets, hooded blouson tops and slinky jersey dresses. In 1967, Klein patented a girdle specific to the constraints of the short skirt. Her clothes were smart, practical and fashionable. Klein was also responsible for the designs of belts, chains, shoes and scarves.
In 1954, Anne Klein received the Mademoiselle Merit award. In 1959 and 1969, Anne Klein became the first designer to win two Neiman Marcus’s awards for her fashion leadership. In 1964, Klein received the Lord and Taylor Award; in 1965, she received the National Cotton Council award; and was also awarded the Coty American Fashion Award Hall of Fame in 1971.

In 1971, she introduced Takihyo Co. Ltd. of Japan as a new investor. After her death in 1974 the Takihjo Company bought the firm. Donna Karan and Louis Dell ‘Olio, designers for Anne Klein at the time of her death, took over the direction of the company making significant contributions to fashion in her name, but later left to pursue their own careers.
