This video is a treasure..Elsa and Tim Blanks along with Jenne Beker literally taught me everything I know about fashion!!! Watching this video reignite my love for fashion that I had as teenager.
CNN STYLE By Elsa Klench is part of my teen age years. Miss waking up on Saturday mornings to watch it. Miss it a lot. Now days i watch "Flash Moda"in TVE presented by spanish model Nieves Alvarez. There is no tv fashion programmes anymore like years ago, Fashion TV is not enough. Such a shame.
Many a Saturday morning was spent tuning in to this program. Elsa Klensch was - and is - a class act. Sure, shows today like Fashion Police are fun - and funny - but there’s no touching this.
Much to my older brother’s disgust, I watched this show every Sunday age from age six until it went off the air. It interfered with the NFL pre game shows. I loved it and am influenced by it to this day.
I remember watchin this wen i was a kid n i wanted to b a designer, lol started drawing but never really pursued it. Thanks for the memories of wat fashion was about!
+IyaEarthseeds I live in Barbados (the Caribbean) my main interest now is early childhood education, I'm a preschool teacher. I wont say I'm fashion conscious but I still enjoy fashion shows..
my oh my- deeply sweet memories of Saturdays watching this next to my mom , dreaming of being a supermodel like those I knew by name (every one of them), then going out just to rock my runway style.....sweet, deep memories of a starkly different time in the world and for sure, in my life.
Thank you for posting this. I never watched the show. I was however Chuck and Elsa's technical and personal assistant between 2008 and 2013. We lost Chuck a few years ago, but Elsa is still with us. They were a pleasure to work with.
You WORKED With THEM? Holy cow; lucky! that was my dream; I never missed an episode every Saturday morning. My mother used to sew and she made ALOT of outfits for me fashioned off that show. She studied fashion; however I was told my father made her stay home and have children so she never got to do what she wanted which was to design clothes. She did, however, sew and made all our clothing; Jean coats including outerwear; all of it; and I mean even our winter clothes; I do believe she wanted to be a fashion designer and my father blocked all that; I loved my mom. "Elsa Klench" watching was the best. ❤🎉🌸💮💐🌹🥀⚘️🌻
I used to wait for Elsa's reports on cnn when i was a chil, and for some reason i finded her voice so exquisit and her accent, still its a pleasure listen to her, such an elegant and intelligent woman. Thank you so much for uploading this.
Wow!! I loved watching this! I believe I started watching back in 1985. I was 14yrs old and that’s when I really became obsessed with fashion. Even now at 50 I still love to be fashionable every now and then, but dark & distressed denim jeans are my number one’s 😘 #stylewithelsaklensch
I clearly remember when Marc Jacobs did at Perry Ellis with his grunge collection. Damn! Early 90s was all about grunge..I hate that period. But whatever happened to the labels of Bill Blass, Byblos, Ferre, Claude Montana and Unggaro today? And Lagerfeld was juggling his gig at Chanel, Chloe and his own label. Insane!
thank you SO MUCH for the upload !!!!! total nostalgia !!!♡♡♡ btw. this was the golden age of fashion models. they don't make them like that any more♡♡♡ LOVE LOVE LOVE !!!!
Thank you for this!!!! Loved watching this in the 80s. The only reason I woke up early! Love the styles and all the designers that were IT back then! ❤️
WOW! I USED TO WATCH THIS RELIGIOUSLY back in the day! Dang, this was 30 YEARS AGO. 8-O Though grunge definitely wasn't the fashion savior everything thought it would be, it was the beginning of the end, it brought a sartorial laziness that I don't think has ever left the fashion world (and now, thanks to covid, even worse--PJs and yoga pants!) Seeing Karl Lagerfeld before his strange transformation...the great 90s background music...and the free pre-9/11 atmosphere. :-( Wonderful to see all those gorgeous 90s models again too--especially nice to see Kristen Mc and Stella again, RIP. :-( The 90s was the very last decade where things were still really FUN: music, mindset, the models....life was joyful! Thanks for the great memories!
Yes. I used to look forward that morning. Her voice was perfect 👌 so people (especially Designers) felt comfortable speaking and opening up to her. Great times with her. Thank you 🙏 for posting
Yes keep it coming 🙏🏻🙏🏻please. I used to wake every Saturday morning to watch this, fashion television, fashion file and video fashion weekly in vh1 and E!, respectively.
Same here! Anna Wintour replaced Elsa Klensch at New York Magazine in 1981, who is said to not have worked out in the position of fashion editor. I used to find it amusing the way Jeanne Beker of Fashion Television used to pronounce Anna’s name…Anna Win-tower.💁🏻♂️🥂
Thanks very much for this. Didn't have time or TV to watch it every weekend, but it's very high quality. Both Elsa and designers of course. Nice models too. The whole thing today is uncomparable.
This was a monster show that unfortunately, the later shakers & movers were unable to replicate. So, I find myself having to replay a few of these shows to transport myself back to that period.
I thought about this show Style the day before I saw Elsa Klensch had passed away. I don’t know if it’s a strange coincidence, but this isn’t the first time I randomly think of someone I haven’t thought of for a while, and then I find out they passed away about at the time. I enjoyed watching Style every Saturday in the 90’s. RIP Elsa Klensch.
I am gagging... My entire childhood encapsulated in this video. Marc, Naomi,(in Versace), Elsa, Carla, Karl, Veronica, Karen, Helena, Todd, Christy, Tati, Yasmeen, Linda, Rifat, Emma and Ana... It still feels like I know them. I would still kill for some of the clothes. So lucky to have been a teen during this era.
Gianni Versace taken too soon. 😢 Such talent and seemed like a sweet person. I miss Elsa. I loved this show when I was a kid. Ok, models playing air guitar on the runway ah hell no! 😂
I'm from Seattle & knew several so- called Grunge singers like Layne, Mark Arm, Chris Cornell & Motherlovebone's Andrew Wood who died of a heroin overdose. I can testify that 'Grunge' as a style was concocted by the Media. It was featured in Singles - a movie I was a "background artist" aka Extra in. Not real. Media hype. Ppl wear flannel bc it's cold & wet in Seattle! My friends & I prefer Velvet. 😉 and we stopped at Goodwill - no designer sh*t.
From 1993; Did Marc Jacobs declared that Grunge was hopeful?? Grunge was lazy! Punk was angry, but I think more hopeful because they were doing something about it. Anyway, love the almost three hours of Elsa Klench and her shows, thank you!
Miss it!!!! God this was a religion to me and I was so sad when it went off the air.. a part of me is gone as nothing could fill that hole.. could not care about the garbage fashion reporting now, but I actually remember galianos first interview and Alexander McQueen's interview backwards as he would not face the camera and his show was the first one. Magic..
Pretty much all fashion eras were like that. People from the 60's, 70's, 80's, etc, wonder nowadays what were they thinking while looking back at old photos.
Elsa knew her stuff, refined and gentle delivery but more importantly she has the knowledge and analysis to comment on trends.
OMG I MISS THIS SHOW!! I religiously watched this every Sunday morning, it was my church. Lol!
Me tooo!
I thought i was the only one hahaha yes it was a delight to see her reports
I watched this every Saturday. Religiously. Fashion was my passion.
I did too!! I was Obsessed
Mine too.
She passed today, 92yo
I came here to re-watch her shows. I faked sick for a family event once so I could stay home and watch her show.
RIP
This video is a treasure..Elsa and Tim Blanks along with Jenne Beker literally taught me everything I know about fashion!!! Watching this video reignite my love for fashion that I had as teenager.
Same experience here. Elsa Klensch is a class act. CNN Style production values were so on point.💁🏻♂️💫
Tim Blanks and Jene was my era…what a time ❤
Digging through youtube on a quest to find true 90s fashion trends. I think I just hit the jackpot.
CNN STYLE By Elsa Klench is part of my teen age years. Miss waking up on Saturday mornings to watch it. Miss it a lot. Now days i watch "Flash Moda"in TVE presented by spanish model Nieves Alvarez. There is no tv fashion programmes anymore like years ago, Fashion TV is not enough. Such a shame.
Grew up watching this into my teens too. They used the same intro for years! Didn't care for the fashion aspect but the ladies were 💯
😊😊
Loving this. Bringing my 1990’s teen self❤
Many a Saturday morning was spent tuning in to this program. Elsa Klensch was - and is - a class act. Sure, shows today like Fashion Police are fun - and funny - but there’s no touching this.
Ha, many Saturday mornings indeed!
+TayInTheWay .Me too. I would wake up early so i wouldn't miss Elsa and her show.
+IyaEarthseeds Oh how we bothered!
nothing compares to the style of elsa klensch!
Ha! Style on CNN and X-Men on Fox. Not even kidding!
OMG! This makes me so happy as my mother and I used to watch this religiously! Thank you
I never missed an episode......😊
Much to my older brother’s disgust, I watched this show every Sunday age from age six until it went off the air. It interfered with the NFL pre game shows. I loved it and am influenced by it to this day.
Me too!!
Watched this show every Saturday morning! Loved it!
I remember watchin this wen i was a kid n i wanted to b a designer, lol started drawing but never really pursued it.
Thanks for the memories of wat fashion was about!
+IyaEarthseeds I live in Barbados (the Caribbean) my main interest now is early childhood education, I'm a preschool teacher. I wont say I'm fashion conscious but I still enjoy fashion shows..
Me to honey i'm same as you only drawing but never make it real
My dad watched this while i was growing up. He was very fashionable and it was refreshing to see
Elsa Klensch epitomised Style for a whole generation. I miss Elsa.
For me she did indeed
She was my Saturday morning destination.
I remember her show so much even as a child growing up in Ghana. The intro video and voice was unmistakable to me.
Rest in peace Elsa.

God I miss the 90s!!! House of Style!
Versace's famous 'Safety Pin' dress at 1:21:45. Amazing...
Wow!! I loved watching this! I believe I started watching back in 1985. I was 14yrs old and that’s when I really became obsessed with fashion. Even now at 50 I still love to be fashionable every now and then, but dark & distressed denim jeans are my number one’s 😘 #stylewithelsaklensch
She is one of the reason why I fell in love with fashion and became a designer and costumer.
I clearly remember when Marc Jacobs did at Perry Ellis with his grunge collection. Damn! Early 90s was all about grunge..I hate that period. But whatever happened to the labels of Bill Blass, Byblos, Ferre, Claude Montana and Unggaro today? And Lagerfeld was juggling his gig at Chanel, Chloe and his own label. Insane!
OMG I would watch this with my mother as a child Saturday morning right after cartoons. It was my ritual. The Smurfs, G.I. Joe , Elsa Klench 😍
Oh! I loved this show. Sat. Afternoons. Takes me back. I haven’t bought Vogue or Bazaar in years! 😢
Tyra and Naomi were always my favorite model to work the runway👠💋
thank you SO MUCH for the upload !!!!! total nostalgia !!!♡♡♡ btw. this was the golden age of fashion models. they don't make them like that any more♡♡♡ LOVE LOVE LOVE !!!!
Now they hire half decent looking rich girls to be models and take jobs away from real beauties
Thank you for this!!!! Loved watching this in the 80s. The only reason I woke up early! Love the styles and all the designers that were IT back then! ❤️

Rest in peace Elsa. Thanks for the memories. ❤️
whow, i used to watch this with my mom just too see the which celebrity muso they were gona feature......this show was dope man
I lived for this show! The Grunge collection by Marc Jacobs for Perry Ellis was the kiss of death for Marc as their creative director.
I used to watch every Saturday with my Granny. ❤
Thanks so many great fashion memories..!
Wow! Thanks for this - I used to watch Elsa regularly back in the day - I LOVED IT.
My favorites from late 80s to late 90s. Style with Elsa Klensch and Fashion File.
Yes keep it coming 🙏🏻🙏🏻please. I used to wake every Saturday morning to watch this, fashion television, fashion file and video fashion weekly in vh1 and E!, respectively.

1:21:40 Helena Christenen looked amazing in the iconic Versace safety pin dress, much better in it than when Liz Hurley wore it
This was a monster show that unfortunately, the later shakers & movers were unable to replicate. So, I find myself having to replay a few of these shows to transport myself back to that period.
Great collection of videos. Thanks for sharing.
Meghan Douglas looks great at Hervé Leger (1:55:30).
Elsa Klensch was in a league of her own.
RIP Elsa. A true gem.💎
Shame u don't see shows like these .STYLE & PANACHE.
OMG!! I remember that show, loved it!!❤️❤️❤️
Loved this show and it was Elsa was incomparable.
What a wonderful show! Thank you so much for sharing this. 😀🙌🙌🙌
I've always been a suckered for Chanel Versace and Micheal kors😊
Just go this gem in my recommended list... Great job and thousands of thanks for uploading!!
I miss the 90s...best years of my life

That designer said the 90s will be a era of the environment I can’t remember it being that….more the opposite
I am gagging... My entire childhood encapsulated in this video.
Marc, Naomi,(in Versace), Elsa, Carla, Karl, Veronica, Karen, Helena, Todd, Christy, Tati, Yasmeen, Linda, Rifat, Emma and Ana...
It still feels like I know them.
I would still kill for some of the clothes.
So lucky to have been a teen during this era.
those were the days - thanks for the chic flashback
Just like Rocking-RoLL, new wave, heaVy metaL,...Fashion tv is dead.
In Style was cooL.
Gianni Versace taken too soon. 😢 Such talent and seemed like a sweet person. I miss Elsa. I loved this show when I was a kid. Ok, models playing air guitar on the runway ah hell no! 😂

Holy f***!!!!?????!!!!
Thank you so much for sharing this...this is GOLD!
What nice simple early nineties fashions.Very elegant and wearable fashions.I love this.Especially the Alberta Ferretti swimsuits in white.
The ICONIC COLECCIONS. BEAUTIFUL.

I used to watch her as a little girl.... I can literally sew and draw because of Elsa...
loved watching this growing up
I ADORE Elsa. She was amazing!
thank you so much Elsa Klench... 🥰
From 1993; Did Marc Jacobs declared that Grunge was hopeful?? Grunge was lazy! Punk was angry, but I think more hopeful because they were doing something about it. Anyway, love the almost three hours of Elsa Klench and her shows, thank you!
“Marc Jacobs who designs for Perry Ellis…”. 😂
ICONIC thank you very much!
Thank you Soooo much!
Miss it!!!! God this was a religion to me and I was so sad when it went off the air.. a part of me is gone as nothing could fill that hole.. could not care about the garbage fashion reporting now, but I actually remember galianos first interview and Alexander McQueen's interview backwards as he would not face the camera and his show was the first one. Magic..
G-d save the queen Vivienne Westwood. Where would we be without you and Elsa Klensch!
RIP Elsa Klensch (February 21, 1930 - March 4, 2022)
Lagerfeld’s Chloé Spring 1995 show was so beautiful.
Awesome! Thank you!
Loved watching from Bangladesh
I love seeing yasmeen, naomi, and Helena in these
R.I.P. Elsa Klensch
I just came for the nostalgia. I was sure I'd seen her show on MTV but I guess not.
This is not only Elsa it is fashion files.
Please post 1995-2001 or anything after '99 thanks!
I never missed Her! Show
I really miss Her now! No good La Mode reporting! 😪!
I was 13 at the time and thought this was the ultimate best
Here in 2020...grunge...what were we thinking. Ha. Saturday morning wasn't complete without Style, followed by Video Fashion!
Pretty much all fashion eras were like that. People from the 60's, 70's, 80's, etc, wonder nowadays what were they thinking while looking back at old photos.
I loved it! I'd wear it again in a second.
models were so much more interesting back then and way better looking.
Damn! Giani had all the main girls in his show 😍🤩
Thanks so much
Yasmeen,naomi,Karen, Helena and Kristen in all shows LOL
OMG how could you forget LINDA!
goodness, thank you!
Those fashion styles are back in 2023...
Perfecto desfile de moda linda tropa
