Madame Grés protégé, Parisian couturier Lloyd Klein, who has shown his signature label womenswear collections for the last two seasons on the runways in Bryant Park has announced plans to present his menswear collection for his Spring Summer 2002 show in September in New York.

Klein has been pining to do a menswear line for a very long time, in addition to continuing his well-received women’s couture and ready-to-wear lines. He will present both collections together on the same runway during New York’s Fashion Week.

On the Hollywood side, female celebrities who have donned Lloyd Klein include Renee Zellweger, Thora Birch, China Chow, Bo Derek, Rachel Leigh Cook, Cheryl Tiegs, Katherine Heigel, Jennifer Blanc, Jennifer Esposito, “Survivor’s” Colleen Haskell and singers Paula Abdul, Pink, Mary J. Blige, Eve and Whitney Houston.
