RIP to CNN's former talent from its first two decades.

Elsa Klensch, who over two decades brought fashion news to CNN’s global TV audience, has died in New York City, according to the network.

CNN did not give a cause of death. Klensch was 92.

Klensch hosted the weekly series “Style With Elsa Klensch” from 1980 to 2001. She traveled to major fashion centers around the world and presented trends and designers every Saturday morning.

“Style” became one of CNN’s most popular programs in its early years and Klensch emerged as one of the network’s signature on-air talents, especially as the channel’s reach expanded internationally.
