March is here and I have 3 show this month on the 24th at 2:00am, 2:00pm and 11:00pm. Pencils ready….here are the descriptions:
1-A213613, THE PIPED BLAZER. This jacket fits like the medallion and/or Leopard print jackets…so whatever size you bought in those…it would be the same. This jacket has a narrow shawl collar, a 3 button front and has a 3/4 length sleeve . It is piped all over… the shawl collar, front and hem of the jacket is piped. The faux cuff on the sleeve and the band pockets are piped. The princess seams, front and back, are piped to create a very slimming effect and the front bust darts are piped……. even the armholes are piped. The fabric is a beautiful quality of cotton sateen….68% cotton, 29%poly and 2%span. The 3 buttons match the piping so they contrast with the jacket. The colors are: Navy, with Ivory piping….very spectator or nautical…which ever way you want to play it……a true American classic. Perfectly Pink, with Navy piping….. YES, it goes with the PP sweater with the navy stripes and YES, it matches the PP Boho. The last, but certainly not least, is the Ivory with Red Piping. It is fresh and clean and goes with many things…did I say jeans?
2-A213614, THE MATCHING PIPED CROP PANT. This is the same body as the A89801, cropped cuff pant. There are 4 differences: this is cotton sateen, not cotton satin [the satin is much shinier]. This has no cuff, this is sized XXS-3X….not numerical sizing and this has piping bordering the pocket and down the side seam. The colors are the same as the jacket. You will be surprised at how many things you can wear these with. They uplift and add some pizzazz to an ordinary outfit.
3-A213617, the first of my 3 WHITE SHIRTS. I call this the “Robyn” shirt, in honor of my dear friend. She is a makeup artist supreme and works out of the Sally Hirshberger salons in LA and NYC. She asked me to design the white shirt she has always looked for but could never find! She wanted a man tailored shirt but fit for a woman….not baggy, and long enough to cover her behind….she stands all day so it MUST be comfortable. I think I’ve come up with her perfect shirt. First, the fabric. I could not find the right cotton blend at the perfect weight…a lot of cheesy garbage out there! So, I had one woven, 98% cotton, 2% span. I had them weave it with a super fine twill. You have to look really close to see it but this gives the fabric the body I wanted….not too thin….not too heavy. I sent my very expensive shirt to the factory so they could copy all the men’s details. The top stitching, the 2 button cuff with the buttoned placket on the sleeve and the placket down the front. The collar even has COLLAR STAYS!! …so it will always be perfect……you never find this in women’s shirts. It has top stitched princess seams, front and back for the perfect fit! Not too tight, but definitely womanly……THIS IS NOT YOUR HUSBANDS SHIRT! The XS is 27 inches long….so there is plenty of coverage. For all of you women who belong to the “White Shirt Cult”….this is for you. Robyn said she want’s to order them “by the dozen”…LOL. It will also come in a great dk. navy….perfect with jeans or all 3 piped pants.
4-A213219, The HYDRANGEA PRINT JACKET. This jacket is the same fit as the medallion or leopard print, so you know your size. The only difference is…this has pocket flaps instead of band pockets. The fabric is the same as the medallion print 98% cotton, 2% span, This is all about the PRINT. Again, it comes from my archives, so it comes from Europe. The print is large with Hydrangea blossoms and leaves scattered on a solid background. I think it’s gorgeous and VERY EUROPEAN looking. The color are: Navy ground with White flowers and touches of Grays and Pink. A Pink ground with shades of deeper pinks, fuchsia and purplish flowers and a Butter Yellow ground with Nikko Blue flowers. Every combination is beautiful and each is special!
5-A213615, is the printed HYDRANGEA T-SHIRT. It’s the same body and fabric as the medallion print t-shirt. This has 3/4 length sleeves and a self fabric piped v-neck. Of course, it looks incredible under the matching blazer or on it’s own with absolutely anything! It come in the same colors as the jacket. You will wear this all spring and summer..again…wash and wear.
6-A213268, is, of course, the matching HYDRANGEA PENCIL SKIRT! You know the colors….same as above….you know your size….same as the medallion and all the others. As a 3 piece it’s stunning….garden wedding, Easter, graduation, but on it’s own, with the new shirt….belted….watch out!! Of course you can wear it all together or split it up with solids….
7-A213272, is the coordinating poly/rayon scoop neck, short sleeve t-shirt. Think of the tanks that came two in a pack. The neckline is the same scoop with a little shirring. This T was done to go with the hydrangea group, but the colors will go with anything……it’s just a great, easy spring/ summer T, in a very comfortable fabric. The colors: White, Periwinkle, Pink, and Green.
The next 3 pieces are in my pebble crepe. I did this fabric last spring in the jumpsuit, the big shirt, the long pull on pant and the long bias skirt. This is a true spring/ summer/ early fall fabric. You have asked for “easy care”….this is it. It’s light, it’s airy and it looks expensive. This is one of those fabrics you have asked me to please bring back….I did and I love it.
8-A213621, this may look like a very simple and clean 3/4 sleeve, ballet neck top……but it is far from simple. The neckline, sleeve hem and body hem are finished off with top stitched bands. It has curved patch pockets sewn on top, but you get into the pocket through bison bands sewn into the patch. The XS is aproxx. 26 inches long. The fit is easy and fluid, extremely comfortable. It’s the kind of top …..I want to pile ethnic jewelry on…..it’s Linea at it’s purest. The colors are Coffee Bean….looks perfect with the new Mocha Boho, and Black.
9-A213620, is a sleeveless safari shirt tunic with a self tie belt.. It has a spread collar that looks great open, epaulets, 2 patch breast pockets with flaps and buttons, band lower pockets and side slits. When the “dog days “of Aug. come around you will be glad you have this top!!! Wear it with its self belt or no belt at all……better yet, throw on your own fabulous waist or hip belts. Talk about ethnic jewelry and long beads……The colors are Sage….yes, THE SAGE and a marvelous “Natural” which is a pale khaki beige….two perfect safari shirt colors This is similar to the safari shirt jacket but a whole different look. This would look great with a pencil skirt, but is perfection with the next item………………
10-A213622, is the pebble crepe pull-on crop pant. Ladies, you will live in these pants, they are that comfortable….and petites….no shortening necessary! They have an elastic waist band, POCKETS!!!!!!!! and have the perfect easy leg and will go with the two tops mentioned above….. PLUS EVERYTHING ELSE YOU OWN. Do they look good with the “faux de chine” safari shirt jacket.?..you bet! Ditto for the zipper trim jacket! The colors are the same as the two tops, Black, Coffee Bean Sage and Natural. All the colors are neutral enough that you will find zillions of things to wear them with. LADIES, I’m telling you…these will go quicker than you can say “wait list”…LOL……and they are machine wash and hang to dry….perfect for traveling!!!!!!
11-A213619 is a great new jacket! First, it’s a print. I call it my “brush stroke print”. It looks as if I took a 1 to 1 and 1/4 inch brush and made small brush strokes all over. They are very close, so…it could look like an abstract animal print….but it is not. It has a notch shirt collar, a 3/4 length turn back cuff sleeve, big patch pockets with turn back flaps which are part of the pocket, and large 4 hole buttons. The jacket is 30 inches long for an XS and it has a marvelous SWING SHAPE……..think of the A87434, hounds tooth swing jacket, but longer. It is unlined, so it is super cool. I love the PRINT…..I love the SHAPE…..I love that it is new, new, new! The colors are Black brush strokes on White and Black brush strokes on LATTE BROWN. It looks equally good over a pencil skirt, my crop knit legging or the new pebble crepe crop pant mentioned above.
12-A213616, is a top in the poly/rayon knit in the Latte and Black. It’s got a peasant neckline with a small v…. notched out. It has a cap puff sleeve [not too puffed]. Elastic finishes the neckline and the sleeve hem. It’s sort of sweet and naughty at the same time. Another top you can wear with anything!
13-A107319, is the reorder window pane silk duppioni shirt/jacket. The new color is Jade with White accents……yes, it will match the Jade tank you may already own.
That is all for now!….. but…….I may have some other surprises for you….as soon as I know…….you will know……….much Love………Louis
