…………………………..I know you have so many BLACK TANKS!……..but…..if I didn’t offer this SPECIAL TANK in BLACK….I definitely would have been asked…..”why no black?” This particular tank deserves to be in every color……especially………… BLACK…………….It really looks wonderful with the new CRUSHED GAUZE ASYMMETRIC HEM SHELL JACKET……A pair of IVORY CREPE TROUSERS and you have a fabulous timeless look….with a definite EDGE……………….This is the end of the sneak peeks for the JUNE 5th shows. Actually, this is the FINALE of my SPRING/SUMMER SEASON…….I will have a very small presentation on July 10th at 5:00am where I will be showing three new things and two reorders…the BOHO being one of them……………then on to FALL 2014………………*I hope you have found a few things you liked enough to add to your  Linea wardrobes.

………………………………………………………….Enjoy your SUMMER!…………….much Love……………………………………Louis

…………………The JADE ANIMAL PRINT CARDIGAN, A255193, will be presented for the first time on my June 5th show at 5:00PM with Leah Williams………..The cardigan has a V-neckline with five buttons down the front. The sleeves are 3/4 length and have a three inch rib bottom. The bottom of the sweater has a tubular finish which keeps the bottom smooth and flat…..The total length of the cardigan is approx. 26 inches for the XS…..The sweater is made in 100% cotton. It always surprises me when I hear complaints about 100% cotton garments for what ever reason, and I’m sure that is their experience….However, I have not received one complaint about any of my 100% cotton sweaters…….Due to the dying of the print and the several washings it goes through as part of the dye process…..what ever shrinkage there was has already taken place. If the washing instructions are followed, there should not be any problems. Cotton is a natural, breathable fiber and is one of the most comfortable fibers to wear……………..The animal print is not literal…….It is an “ABSTRACT WATER COLOR” version of an imaginary animal……..as was my BUTTERFLY CARDIGAN……The effects are very similar……………..This is an……ENGINEERED PRINT……..Meaning the cardigan is printed in one piece with the sleeves and back already attached to the front….so….the sleeve join….the shoulder join  ALL MATCH!!!! Each panel of the sweater and each sleeve have their own design….this is not an easy process of printing……one slip or mistake and the effect is ruined….This is truly designer quality……………Above, I have the JADE ANIMAL PRINT CARDIGAN shown with my WHITE JEANS, but BLACK bottoms will look just as good. Under the sweater is my NEW TANK, sneak peak to follow, in both the JADE and BLACK……………FYI….the JADE and BLACK WK tanks were both done to also coordinate with the new TILE PRINT SKIRTS……PLUS the JADE looks great with the PEACOCK COTTON/SPAN LEGGING!…………..scroll down……………………………….enjoy………………………much Love……………Louis

……………………….The NATURAL ANIMAL PRINT CARDIGAN, A255193, was done for all of my neutral lovers……It looks perfect, as shown above, with my BLACK and DARK SUNTAN pieces…..as in WHISPER KNITS and PANTS………….Worn this way truly makes it season-less…….With pants, Capris, crops, pencil skirts, bohos, my rayon/span maxi skirt….my new DRESSES, and my new COTTON SHORTS….there is no end to the possibilities for how you can wear this cardigan…..For the women who live in the  southern parts of the country this will be your summer through winter combination…….Casual or dressier…..accessorize or not….this is a stand alone…a stand out piece……a good one to add to your collection……………………………………………………..scroll down………………….much Love……………………………..Louis

……………………………..Same NATURAL ANIMAL PRINT CARDIGAN…..same BLACK TANK……….changing the bottom to WHITE gives the outfit a whole different character……….it says…………….”summertime fun”………………………enjoy……………….much Love…………Louis

………………It surprised me how many women listed magenta or FUCHSIA as one of their colors of choice for next Spring 1015…………..You don’t have to wait that long, because FUCHSIA is the third and last combination I will offer in the ANIMAL PRINT CARDIGAN!………………..With my NEW BLACK LEGGING and NEW WHISPER KNIT TANKit makes for a dramatic summer look….very chic….very sophisticated………………Actually, over anything BLACK will look great….My black cotton sateen pants, black shorts, black maxi skirt, black WK short pencil skirt, black rayon/span tank dress, black fit and flair rayon/span dress, black cotton/span T shirt dress, and let’s not forget the new BLACK BODY SUIT and the new WK TWOFERS……………..onandonandonandonandon…………….scroll down………..enjoy………………………much Love……………..
