Karen Kane Plus Size Collection. Winter 2012
Karen and Lonnie Kane marry in September and launch Karen Kane out of their Studio City Garage in December 1979. In 1980 Karen Kane’s first collection is shipped – Spring 1980 consisted of 15
pieces of coordinated separates. First month sales totaled just $1,200
and things looked bleak.
One of Karen’s early silk-screen designs caught on in stores and sales
improved drastically. After just one year in business, the company
reaches $1 million in sales.
After receiving many requests from some of her customers, in 1999 Karen is
inspired to launch "Karen Kane Women’s” – a division for women with
fuller figures.
Today the company basically lets out blouses, tops, skirts, trousers, a sweater, jackets and a coat. All clothes from 0x to 3x the size.
