Elsa Klensch, a pioneer in fashion television, dies age 92

Growing up in a small eastern town in Canada in the mid-eighties and nineties fostered a great love for the outdoors, but fashion and culture were difficult to come by. Here the folks were perhaps more akin to hunting moose than digging Moose Knuckles parkas.

While there was little exciting retail or fashion brands available at the time, save for Benetton, Ralph Lauren and Club Monaco, there was Elsa Klensch and her eponymous series Style with Elsa Klench on CNN, to whet an appetite for fashion.
