Re: Charles Kleibacker (1921-2010)
In another parallel reality, Sir Charles is continuing to master a new aspect of beauty! His whole being exuded precision and devotion to mastery. I worked with Charles four sequential summers at GA College, Milledgeville, GA. He was patient and exacting. He asked me to model some of his own designs - it was no less than wearing a second skin -- draped and sewn to PERFECTION; therefore, he allowed no underclothing beneath his magnificent garments!!! True Mastery of the Bias. My son, Harrison Morgan who is also a designer, drove me to see Charles when he was curator of the Design Museum at Kent State - Charles was so impressed with my sons beaded gowns, that he asked us to donate a couple to the museum -- we were greatly honored. In that magical way that people meet and "connect" - Charles' gentle, yet firm encouragement and high standards for fashion will always be a part of me. Yes, indeed he was, is and always will be a Treasure! Love to Charles
