• Babette
  Babette's sense of design owes a debt to late-20th Century modernist architecture, industrial and graphic design. Throughout her career, her work has been distinguished by the use of sophisticated colors and strong geometric shapes. Her modernist sensibilities dictate that embellishment is kept to a minimum and that any detail must have a useful function. The success of the pleated raincoat spurred more experimentation with different kinds of pleating for other uses. Babatte's Pleated Sportwear was launched in 1990 and has since become the mainstay of the business.
