Thank you, Louis – that Skirt is perfection for me! I am so looking forward to your Whisper Knit pieces – am planning on ‘extra’ stocking up – love the styles and all the colours you will be offering (from what I’ve read here on your Blog).
Seka.
Louis, Will the new Long Whisper Knit Skirt be a similar design as previous versions?
Just curious.
Seka.
Yes Seka, exactly like the one with the 2 tubular strips down the back and the slit. It will have a new style number because the old number was killed since it wasn’t immediately reordered.
Julie
Wishing you a most sincere thank you. The Social Team issued me a refund. It was so kind of you to help me and Ithanked them too of course.
Pattyow
Hi Louis,
Looks like the Bar earrings (J353995) were reordered. Will the single bar necklace be returning?
Regards,
Chris
Not to my knowledge, but that is sometimes the case when they bring a small order in.
Louis I am so happy you brought the WK back in that gorgeous plum and beautiful tobacco color. I already own the tobacco color in that wonderful crepe dress A308457 I brought the black too when it was presented. I would love to see the WK in a hot pink or close to it I have already have the perfectly pink and the pure pink….I don’t think I have missed any of the colors you’ve brought to us in the WK since I pretty much wear them year round. I am waiting for the multi color torsade necklace to arrive any day now. Stay well!
Pattyo you can ask the mods at QVC under the Customer Care forum to help. Also you can email them at QVCSocialTeam@QVC.com
I contacted the p o but they had no info as they only held the package until the shipping agent picked it u
Pattyow

Do not know what todo and if you were not such a nice person I would not have bothered you. Pattyow
Dear Pattyow…..I really don’t know anything about shipping or returns, but I did forward your message to my jewelry company to see if they have any suggestions.
Louis, you also had a Merlot color!
Shelia….your memory is better than mine. After 20 years the colors all blend together. The best I can say is they were all in the wine family!….LOL
Louis, will you describe the color differences between Plum, Port and Aubergine? I think you also had Boysenberry if I’m not mistaken? Thank you!
Wildrose, of the three the Plum is the bluest, Port the brownest, and I believe Boysenberry is the most red, but I don’t have anything in Boysenberry anymore so that’s just from my recollection.
Louis,
My black tank arrived and it is perfect in my usual Linea size. The armholes fit perfectly which is often a problem for me and I love the length…not too short and not too long. Best of all is the jersey whisper knit. I wonder if the Big Deal cardigan is the same kind of whisper knit as the tank.
I’m still deciding about additional colors, but the black was a must have.
Thank you!
Just getting caught up on the fashion and host news. As always, Louis you bring it better than anyone! So sad to hear the news about Antonella – love her. The Q has made so many changes. I am not a Q insider, but can’t understand their brand strategy. They are diluting their brand with products you can purchase anywhere. This leaves no room for unique brands that have made a difference for a very long time. Without their longtime core brands, they would not be here today. The unique brands are what I watch and shop for. If they are like everyone else (which a board of directors or investors may have required) no need to watch. I shop a few brands now and that is it. Louis, so thankful we can still purchase your beautifully fit, stylish, well-made garments and accessories.
(Trilling with delight!)
Today my Pine Whisper Knit tank arrived; for some reason, it trailed behind my Plum and Tobacco tanks. For my particular coloring, the Plum and the Pine are very flattering. I love Tobacco, but it hesitates to love me in return. No matter. I will fill in the neckline with one of my zillion Linea necklaces to bring a different contrast to my face.
Just to emphasize the point, the Plum and the Pine are two of the prettiest colors you have had lately. LOVE THEM! Bravo!
Will there be any WK navy tanks coming in the future? Or any gray WK tanks to match off with the gray/navy hoodie?
I can’t remember if there are navy tanks for next spring???? I think there is one….All of my previous Charcoal heather WK will work. There is a new dark grey coming as part of the Big Deal group. It’s solid not heather. I will have to look to see if they will work together. The WK Grey is darker than the grey in the jacquard. I would even like the light heather grey WK as in the elbow sleeve scoop neck. They don’t have to match….just look good together.
I am sorry to hear the news about Antonella. I always enjoyed her. I do think she looked classier with dark hair though.
Yes, Antonella is a very dear person. What you see is what you get. When she first came to QVC I was the first show she did. She was so nervous she was literally in a sweat. She always had to have fans on the set blowing on her. I agree with you about her hair color. She is a sweetie, but is very insecure about her appearance so it always surprised me about her choices. Blond was not for her. I understand there are more hosts that are gone besides Antonella, but I don’t know who. I guess with them not doing live QVC2 presentations anymore they had too many hosts.
Louis,
Have you heard the sad news that Antonella Nester has been let go from QVC? No more her hearty laugh and broad smile. How I enjoyed when both of you worked together. I hope she bobs to the top.
Yippee! I own the long caramel trench and can’t wait for caramel WK. I also own and love the sleeveless WK turtlenecks you did a few years ago, along with the shorter WK skirts. Some of my favorite pieces.
I’m not forgetting the Long Caramel Trench – I also own the Black and the Red – all 3 are beauties!
Dark Gray and Caramel!
correct….all of the pieces will be avail in the DK Grey. In the Caramel, since I’ve already done jackets and pants I will have the cardigan and sleeveless TN to work with everything including the long trench should anyone forget that beauty!
Ooh, I can hardly wait for those new WK cardigans; multiple colors for me, if not ALL 3 colors. Wistfully wishing there was going to be a Pine cardigan … but bisque, plum and black sound delightful.
There are two more
Louis,
That’s wonderful news about new Tobacco pieces coming next year! It’s such a beautiful color.
Thank you!
Beth
Louis, Thank you for replying….am looking forward to the August Shows – and especially the Whisper Knits – not taking any chances considering last year there were no Whisper Knits!
The last time you offered a WK Open Front Cardigan and sleeveless T-Neck – I bought all pieces – and doubles in some – I did not buy the shorter WK Skirt – too short for me – but this time I’m all in!
Thank you.
Seka.
Louis, My pandemic therapy has been to shop for many Linea designs that I missed the first time around. Yesterday I was sitting in the garden wearing your 2017 Slate Green Gauze Chemise Dress A290988 and I felt like Bunny Mellon in Givenchy! Garden fans will know who I mean. So here’s a request — could you do that chic dress again, with 3/4 sleeves?
Louis, Are there other coordinating Whisper Knit pieces coming with the WK Big Deal Cardigan and WK Long Skirt?
I know there’s the WK Tank that’s already available….just trying to plan ahead.
Seka.
Yes…..yes, a sleeveless TN…..there will be other things that aren’t WK
Louis
Will there be anymore new items in Tobacco in the coming seasons? It’s one of my favorite Linea colors.
Thank you very much.
Beth
not for fall, but next spring there will be!
Louis, mystery of the OTO Cardigan solved! There are two links to Important Dates on your blog, as you know–one is the Archive Link. The questioner hit the Important Dates Archive link and ironically there is a message there from 2014 which states that your Cardigan will be a OTO from 8-8:30 PM—it also states that “I am here at QVC”–and we know THAT’s not happening! Sheila
Hi Louis
I was reading the QVC Forums in your category. One of the gals intimated that you would be offering matching cardigans for some of the tanks colors eg: pine, plum etc. Is this true? I already know you will be offering a matching cardigan for the bisque. Thank you.
Bisque, Plum, and Black tanks will have matching cardigans
Louis, your India Print top (A379986) has become my summer favorite. I have it in all colors. I’d love to see this same knit and style in one of your baby cheetah prints. Also, you did an Emilio Pucci inspired print years ago that I think would be splendid in this top. Love the top. Perfect length sleeves. Great neckline. Love the side slits. And, the knit is quite comfortable in Florida July heat!
Hi,
I have seen that message also. It is dated October 6, 2014. I saw it under one of the headings for important dates.
Pat
I was pretty sure it was yours. Obviously I must be mistaken. I sometimes check your web site to see if there are sneak peaks. I thought I read that your cardigan would be One Time Only Tonight between 8:00 pm and 8:30 pm. It was there and now gone. Sorry about that!
Louis
I just saw on this website that your new bisque cardigan is going to be a One Time Only between 8:00 pm EST and 8:30 pm EST tonight. Notice is gone. I have already purchased the bisque pants and tank. I intend to also purchase your upcoming bisque suit jacket. I want to use bisque outfit for business travel. Is the One Time Only notice still true. Thanks Louis
Dear Joanne…..what web site are you talking about??? I know nothing of this OTO?
New WK tanks are beautiful, can’t wait for the other pieces—thanks for the discriptions.
A ribbed Cardigan, open front and longish sounds perfect !
Hi Louis
I purchased your tank in bisque. Will the Big Deal cardigan be a longer or shorter cardigan. Thanks
Joanne, it’s an open front fully fashioned ribbed cardigan and is approx 29-30 inches for the xxs
Louis – I have the Crepe Gauze pant in Ivy from a few years ago – Would the Pine tank work with that or are those colors quite different?
Dear Sue, unfortunately I no longer have that pant to compare the colors.
Louis, Thank you for the Big Deal dates!
Louis, Do you know that date of the Whisper Knit Cardigan Big Deal in August, please?
I read here that the WK Cardigan is an open front style – which I love – am preparing my list – need/want all colours of the WK Cardigan and WK Long Skirt.
the Aug Big Deal shows are the 18th and 19th but there will be additional shows and hits on those days. I will post all….I’ve been a little lax….sorry
Louis, will the silver-grey embroidered skirt be coming back in missy sizes (A351464)? Thank you for making my wardrobe so beautiful! Please don’t ever retire before I die or I don’t know what I will do without you.
Yes Frances….the new Silver Grey and the returning Latte will be back in Oct in ALL SIZES…..BTW, the BISQUE tank works perfectly with the Latte emb. skirt
Will the slim ankle pants (A265615)be coming this fall in the new plum color?
The tank looked very rich and saturated on the TV.
No Chris
Hi Louis
I wanted to thank you and Jennifer for putting up
the links to this weeks shows. I was unable to watch in real time, so it helps me to
watch the shows instead of scouting the individual item videos.
How is the garden looking?
Sarah
Louis
I know you are not doing a tuxedo jacket this fall. But if you ever decide to do one, please do an ivory/version with black satin lapels. Thank you
Hi Louis, can you tell me if the 3/4 sleeve high low tunic in copper/black will work with the new tobacco pants? Just wondering with all the colors in this watercolor-like pattern if there’s that shade in the mix. I purchased the tobacco pants and tank and have lots to wear with them if that’s not a match. Love these pants and thrilled with the reorder and new color.
Julia/Qulia
Hi Louis
When I purchased the Bisque tank, I noticed there were tanks in pine and plum in the tanks. Does this mean you will have other main pieces in pine and plum. Thank you
Absolutely Joanne….otherwise I would have never chosen such specific colors. There will more more to coordinate with them in Aug and Sept.
Thank you for answering my color questions Louis!
I’m having to prioritize my Linea wish list, so your response helps. 😊
I was hoping the kimono would work with that dress, which I have in blue (and chocolate). The kimono is still something I eventually want. But now the cheetah jacket, the embroidered skirt, the new tanks, as well as some of your last collection items…decisions decisions.
I did pick up the anniversary earrings in each color to go with my bracelets. I couldn’t miss out on those!
I have a great story to share with you that I think you will enjoy hearing. Last October I bought the Chantelaine pen, that if I remember right. was a Big Deal. I received it soon after, but with the weather so hot in Georgia until November, I didn’t have a chance to wear it. I had bought the brownish jacket to go with it. When I went to put on the pin in November, I discovered that the “pin” part had come off the back of the actual pin. I had the address of the Repair Department, and had had really good luck getting a couple of other pieces repaired perfectly, I sent in off mid-November. After Christmas, I realized I had not gotten it back, but other events interfered, and in April, I sort of wrote it off, especially after you wrote that the address had changed.
So you can imagine my surprise and delight when I received a package via the mail from the same Repair Department with the beautiful pin, in perfect repair, enclosed. I think it’s a reminder not to give up or write it off. If you have any way to let your connection agent know, please give them my great gratitude on sending it out. It’s a wonderful tribute to their caring and respect for what they produce, and dedication to making things right again. I love your jewelry–and your clothes, and this just makes me appreciate them and you more.
Thanks for all you do
Penny
Dear Penny….I’m happy to hear you received your pin in great condition….but….I am disturbed it took so long? I really don’t understand such a delay! They usually are more speedy with repairs. For that I am sorry. As long as it all turns out well in the end, and your story ends happily
Louis
When will you be presenting new bisque suit etc. This Friday? or later.
Aug…..I hope
Hello Louis
When is the new skirt supposed to be posted, I thought it would be today? Please let me know. I don’t want to miss them
Nikki….I honestly don’t know….I got some strange answer that due to the Corona virus the shipment was delayed. They couldn’t tell me when?
Dear Louis,
That is wonderful news about the TN!!! I will make sure I stock up!!!
Thank you so much for your response!
Lisa Ann
Hello Louis,
Just wondering if you will be offering your fabulous whisper knit turtlenecks this Fall/Holiday season?
Thank you so much,
Lisa Ann
Dear Lisa Ann….there will be a new TN just as good as the old one.
Louis – a few color questions for you.
How does bisque compare to alabaster?
Does the blue bayou kimono work with the admiral blue moss crepe short sleeve maxi (A302606)?
Thanks!
Melissa….the alabaster and Bisque are similar and in the same family, but they are different. The alabaster is lighter in color and a bit more pink….You could wear them together if you don’t mind a lighter color bottom to the top……I tried the admiral blue dress with the kimono and I have to say they weren’t great together….not terrible but not fabulous. The dress is a duller blue next to the kimono, and not an exact match. You would have to wear lots of black jewelry to make the blue dress more dramatic.
That’s good news, Louis!
Good morning, Louis. Your blazer A343162 is on waitlist for color Vivid Pink. Will Vivid Pink also be a color in other items coming this fall?
Yes Jane a WK sweater, but it’s not coming until late fall.
The Super Ponte pants in PLUM are available for ordering in the Petite A303147, and Regular A268216.
The new WK tanks are available for sale. Should we stick with our usual size in WK tops for this one?
Thanks,
Chris
Yes Chris….I don’t see any reason to change sizes. These fit true to size.
Hello Louis, Thank You for the sneak peek of the new two-way zipper jacket with hood. Both colors for me. I hope you are well and staying cool and comfortable in this very warm weather. Take care – we love you, Louis.
Dear Irene….I am trying too. With the heat and the virus on the rise I have no desire to leave my property!
Louis
One more bad news question.I ordered the. tobacco slim leg pant in xxs on June 15 the day it was posted. A few days later I received an email that my order was not available but if it became available in 45 days it would be sent to me .If not the order will be cancelled. What are my chances on this one?
Sorry to be such a pain Thanks again.
pattyow
pattyow….this one I’ll have to ask about. it is quite possible the xxs is sold out. They don’t buy many of that size.
Dear pattyow…..it does seem that the xxs has sold out, but keep a look out there are always women who put things on check hold and cancel.
Louis Plum color in petite is not listed in the super pointe pant. Have been watching for over 2 weeks . It is listed in the regular Is that bad news for some of us?
Thank you
No Pattyo……they probably just have not done the paper work for that size yet. It’s just not loaded yet

Good Morning Louis!
Quick question:
I was wondering if the blue mallard dress works with the blue bayou kimono?
Thanks and stay safe!
Kate
Dear Kate, I checked and they do not look good together. I’ll exaggerate my description so you get a clearer picture. The blues in the kimono are more purplish and the dress is more of a green blue. It actually looks very good with the Tropical Kimono which has more turquoise colors that blend nicely.
Louis,
I wore last night your offwhite shirt A351412 and your off white petite pants A351462 with you
Elephant Walk Necklace White J488259. What a classy looking great outfit. Thanks!
My blue kimono just arrived. BEAUTIFUL .Pictures do not do it justice. The colors outragesly beautiful. I have all three but this is my favorite..I am excited to get new skirt…
Hi Louis, QVC has your show on July 10 listed from 9-10am, instead of 3pm. Is that correct? Your anniversary jewelry is spectacular. I wish I had pierced ears, that shape is gorgeous!
Dear designista, that is correct…..they changed it.
Hi Louis
My aunt had 3 daughters in law and 3 nieces. We all were the recipient of her largesse. I do know several were donated to exhibits/museums etc. One in particular a pale pink ribbon silk evening gown that she had worn to my wedding designed by James Galanos. Also a gorgeous gown by Christian LaCroix she wore to her 50th wedding anniversary party that was also donated. There were several others also donated. I wish I could be more specific, but I did not do the actual work of the donations. I do know, with the Galanos gown, she might have had the assistance of his people. She considered her gorgeous clothes works of art. Thank you for your interest.
Hi Louis
My late aunt who wore nothing but haute couture passed on to me a pretty Yves St Laurent vintage dress. With the dress was a 2” suede belt with even the buckle covered in velvet like suede. I wear this belt with your beaded pants. I also will wear it with your beautiful embroidered skirt along with Donna Karan beaded body suit, Stuart Weitzman black suede pumps, inherited Judith Leiber suede clutch and beautiful Judith Ripka hanging earrings with saphires(QVC Collection). Of course, the stand out will be the beautiful Linea skirt. No one would ever believe that gorgeous vivid blue skirt cost $85.00. I cannot wait to buy the black, silver version. Thank you Louis!
Dear Joanne, The belt sounds perfect! Where did all of your Aunt’s couture clothes go?
Louis
I own your show stopping beautiful vivid blue embroidered skirt. I have a number of weddings in the next year-some black tie. I was looking at some of my black tops to wear with the that sensational skirt. I came across my Donna Karan black bugle beaded boat neck, long sleeve body suit. I have not worn it in years, because it was too tight. I recently I lost some weight. I tried the Donna Karan body suit on with your vivid blue embroidered skirt. What a sensational outfit! The blue of the skirt reflects off the beading of the top. I cannot wait to purchase you black skirt with silver. Thank you Louis!
Sounds fabulous Joanne….what belt will you wear?
Hi Louis,
I am excited to see a new color (tobacco) appear on qvc.com when I searched for your knit pull-on slim ankle pants A265615.
After months and months of wishing that they would be a reorder, finally a glimmer of hope that perhaps they are making a return debut with a new array of color choices. Besides the tobacco which I am ordering, will other colors be offered? They are hands down the most flattering, comfortable, easy-to-wear staples in my closet.
I have them in every color, and they all look brand new even though I’ve worn and washed them countless times,
Bets fit. Best fabric. Best designer.
I love them and I love you for bringing them to us.
Angela I am sorry to say they are only bringing in the new Tobacco and Black.
