Who is Lloyd Klein?
Lloyd Klein was born in Montreal, Canada, on February 15, 1967, but grew up in Paris.
In 1986, Klein went to study architecture, but after being inspired by a Maison Givenchy fashion show, he discovered that fashion and design were his true passion.
In 1989 he had opened his first studio and presented his women’s clothing at the Chambre Syndicale, vying for permission to create his own haute couture house.

In 1998, Klein moved back across the Atlantic with his new self-titled fashion label to the United States.
When did Jocelyn Wildenstein meet Lloyd Klein?
Jocelyn Wildenstein was first married to art dealership billionaire Alec Wildenstein in 1978, but the couple separated in 1999.
After she reportedly walked into bed with her then-husband with a 19-year-old Russian model before he threatened Jocelyn with a gun, the marriage did not end amicably.
The $3.8 billion settlement was a world record at the time, representing a lump sum of $2.5 billion and $100 million annually for 13 years.
Alec’s family stopped paying the annual $100 million in 2015 when the luck between the parties ended and Jocelyn filed for bankruptcy in 2018.
She started dating Klein in 2003 and began a 13-year relationship that became known for the fiery row rumors.
The couple broke up after a falling out in 2016, but Klein broke it off People that he was “devastated” by the way things had ended.
