Guess What? Elsa Klensch

From Versace to Valentino to the newest designers on the catwalk, CNN's Elsa Klensch has met them all. However, Klensch found her interview with Britain's former prime minister Margaret Thatcher as the most interesting of all.

While attending a reception at No. 10 Downing Street, Klensch was unaware that she was not allowed to interview Thatcher, which was only told to her by her press person later.

"But when I held out the mike, she was charming. I asked what she thought of punk fashion, and to my surprise, she said she liked it. She told me how she chose her clothes for the role of prime minister and then took me on a tour of No. 10 Downing Street, which she knew intimately and loved. It was a delight to find that this politician who had the reputation of being 'the iron woman' was so interested in design," the host of the global network's show Style with Elsa Klensch was quoted as saying by CNN.

The show will mark its 20th anniversary in June, the same time as CNN's 20th anniversary. The former fashion reporter and editor of Vogue, Harper's Bazaar and Women's Wear Daily created Style in 1980 as one of the original CNN news feature programs and the first regularly scheduled U.S. network television reporting exclusively on design.

The show is aired on Fridays at 8:30 p.m., Saturdays at 2:30 p.m. and Sundays at 9:30 p.m. "I stayed because I was able to realize the dream of creating a new way of showing design ..., " Klensch said.

One of her greatest satisfactions is that the Metropolitan Museum of Art has created an archive of all of her interviews through the years and of all the Style stories. (ste)
