"Anne Klein's original vision of American sportswear designed to enhance the woman's body is even more relevant today, and Isabel's expertise and design aesthetic is in touch with the essence of this brand," noted Lynne Cote, Chief Executive Officer, Wholesale Sportswear, Suits and Dresses.
Mrs. Toledo's first collection for Anne Klein is slated to debut in fall 2007 and will be sold worldwide at select high-end department stores and specialty boutiques. As Creative Director, Mrs. Toledo will serve as the voice of Anne Klein across all label touch-points, including global product design, advertising, public relations outreach, trunk shows, personal appearances, and the long anticipated return of the runway fashion show.
"Isabel's fashion influence and keen eye will be a great asset for the evolution of the brand. Her vision will encompass everything from fashion shows to product design, advertising and marketing initiatives," explained Stacy Lastrina, Executive Vice President Corporate Marketing, Jones Apparel Group.
"I am thrilled to have the opportunity to help evolve the intelligent fashion philosophy that Anne Klein initiated and I look forward to designing a new generation of future classics", stated Mrs. Toledo.
Marc Beckman, President, Designer's Management Agency (DMA) developed the brand's reinvigoration strategy and was the chief negotiator for Jones Apparel Group in the highly-selective identification process which ultimately led to the procurement of Mrs. Toledo.
