DELL'OLIO Louis (Designer)

Dogtooth check and black leather is a blend of fashion and function, sass and shrewdness by Louis Dell'Olio, called "the designer for everywoman". The fitted, single-breasted jacket follows a body-conscious line without alienating his conservative clientele. This outfit was created under Anne Klein's label that he had taken over with Donna Karan, a friend from college, after Klein's death in 1974. Dell'Olio said of the experience, "We didn't know enough to be terrified" but together they forged a style that suited the working woman of America. In 1984 Karan left to set up her own label and Dell'Olio continued what they had started until Richard Tyler took over the company in 1993. One fan of Dell'Olio's work told Vogue, "I don't want to be gussied up to the ears... the jackets hide a multitude of sins, the plants have a fabulous fit, the clothes are clean".
