Elena went on to design for Anne Klein's coat division. Anne had an eponymous line manufactured by MDP, Inc. in the 1990s. Levine's wife Emily ran a group of retail stores called Emily Lawrence. Levine sold part of his company to S. Rothschild, Inc. in 1991 but remained as president. In 1996 Levine cut all ties with the S. Rothschild.
