She started her work as an assistant of Robert Turk in 1930.
Very influenced by Chanel and Vionnet.
In 1942 she makes one of her most popular designs...the "pop over" dress and it's also during the 40's that Claire creates a range of beachwear a playsuits.
In 1955 the designer uses the designs of modern artists like Chagall, Leger, Picasso, Miro and Dufy to make cotton resort clothes.
