I was thinking recently about Elsa Klensch as I was pondering over what to write next for the blog. I couldn't help thinking of Elsa. I loved her understated way of reporting. I watched her show religiously every Saturday morning at 10AM on CNN during the 80s. My brother and I would fight over watching her show over his morning cartoons. It was a very important half hour and I would use physical force if necessary to win the battle for the remote. I couldn't miss Elsa. Without her show I would never have understood the difference between an A-line or a bias cut. I would not have begun my early appreciation for fashion, beauty and decorating. Elsa introduced me to Yohji Yamamoto, Christian Lacroix, Vivienne Westwood, Zandra Rhodes, and Jean Paul Gaultier. She really focused on her subjects and had an easy way of persuading them to dish on their collections and methods for designing. I don't know of any TV fashion journalist today that lives up to her style, integrity and onscreen charisma. Her signature haircut always perfectly coiffed.
Elsa is now a novelist so my fix will have to include reading her last book, "Take Two".
