    FYI – A267880 Tunic Shirt has been posted on Q! Black, Alabaster and Blue.

    Dear Louis,

    I am looking forward to your shows later this week and seeing you & Jac. I saw a sweet little movie this week that I think you and Jac would enjoy. It is called The Intern.

    Dariann

    1. louis dell'olio

      Hi Dariann….Jac and I saw it last week and we both loved it. We like all the movies she directs.

  3. wendee

    Louis thank you for posting the shoe choices with the hooded sweater. I have the new grey pants and would love some suggestions for those. I know black but wanted something like the column of color but it seems all the grey shoes I see are light colored. Happy with all my purchases can’t wait till your next show, Thanks again!!

    1. louis dell'olio

      Dear wendee….just browsing through the shoe selection on QVC these are some grey shoes I founf. Of course you never know from the pictures exactly what color they are, but they aren’t light., A270372, A268700, A270707, A337807 and A269089

    Dear Louis,

    My lovely Linea lilac turtleneck arrived today. I was somewhat uncertain about how well the color would work with someone who is brunette and not blonde or redhead. Happy to report it becomes me. I believe this lilac will work for most of your Linea Ladies and other assorted fans, no matter what their coloration. Silver foxes will be absolutely gorgeous in this shade (as you predicted), and your icy jewelry is certainly the perfect touch for this refreshing color. Thank you.

    1. Grace

      Goldie, I’m also loving the lilac TN and wore it yesterday with jeans and the tweed jacket in raspberry. The lilac color just makes me smile. Glad to hear it works for you!

      1. Goldie76

        Thank you, Grace. It is lovely. Receiving the lilac yesterday, which was wet and raw (and still is somewhat) in the Northern Virginia area, I experienced an uplifting of my spirits. This lilac turtleneck should work wonders in the frigid grip of winter, shouldn’t it?

      2. Goldie76

        I also like the pieces you pulled together for your outfit. A “fresh” approach to the tweedy look.

        1. Grace

          Goldie, I meant to say I wore the lilac TN with the tweed jacket in violet, not raspberry! I think wearing that color will work wonders for us both over a cold, dreary winter.

  5. Enjay

    Louis, if you never did anything but create that black swing turtleneck, you would have done your bit for womankind. That sweater is PERFECT.

    1. TourEiffel

      Totally agree. Wore it yesterday. Perfection!

    2. Joanne

      I agree! When I wear Linea swing sweater, I immediately lose visually 10 lbs especially with the black Linea slim ankle pants.

  6. kate

    I know you’re busy packing up for Wednesday’s show, but do you have dates for November or December? Always like to plan ahead!!

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      I have no dates for NOV or DEC….I think they are going to be all outside hits….there isn’t that much new coming after Oct. They start their Holiday selling, and there isn’t that much apparel except for their regulars….SG, IM, LG, Liz, Cracker, D&CO etc…..but what’s coming is fine.

      1. kate

        I see. I guess that makes sense. Sad that we won’t have a holiday apparel collection but maybe next year.

        I hope you get a chance to go on and present something like your WK turtleneck or a piece of jewelry, both of which would be excellent gifts.

        1. Louis Dell'Olio

          They won’t give airtime to the jewelry. It would be nice so more women could get to see it other than the Linea customers.

      2. Goldie76

        That banging sound you hear is my head hitting the keyboard. I’ll never understand the way the world works sometimes.

        1. Elaine

          LOL! Goldie you always say it so perfectly. I had to comment.

          1. Goldie76

            Thanks, Elaine. 🙂

      3. Yvette

        So I guess that means we have permission to go hog wild at this last show for 2015, heh heh!

        1. Grace

          My thoughts exactly, Yvette!

      4. Joanne

        Hi Louis
        Does “outside hits” mean appearances possibly on AM Style, PM Style or Fashionable Early.

        1. Louis Dell'Olio

          Exactly

  7. luvitorleaveit

    Louis finally my black quilted jacket arrived and it is as perfect as I knew it would be lightweight and great for layering without the bulk nicely done as usual. I also received the pale lilac sweater the color is beautiful and flattering and I received the funnel neck sweater in ivory luv this for the holidays and date night! Last but not least I got the burgundy vneck sweater which I am getting ready to lightly press out the wrinkles and wear today to do my errands; it is cold, damp and raining here today. Everything fits perfect!

    1. kate

      Wow, I’ll bet the black quilted jacket looks pretty fabulous with that pale lilac sweater!

  8. Melissa

    Just had to tell you that I opened my package when I got home yesterday.

    I already have 3 of the swing sweaters from last year (mulberry, olive, black). When you came out with the new colors I really debated on how many more I needed (especially since I got two of the swing cardigans too). I decided on the imperial violet and tobacco. So glad I got them! The colors are rich and gorgeous. Will be so easy to throw on with jeans and one of my new Linea necklaces and look put-together.

    I also picked up the color block cardigan/shell in the currant color. Already have the alabaster/black and grey/blue. Loved them so much, didn’t want to miss out on the currant. I was hesitant about the color on me (was worried it’d be too pink), but it is beautiful.

    Oh, and the lilac turtleneck is gorgeous. (I love my shades of purple!) Will look great with the plum moto jacket. My only complaint is that the sleeves are a tad short, so I will have to push them up. No biggie. I have longer arms so that’s a problem I occasionally run into.

    Looking forward to your next show!

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      Dear Melissa…I’m happy to hear you love everything. You shouldn’t feel guilty about ordering more swing sweaters. For me they are basics, and sweaters you will wear everyday and night for almost every or no occasion…Can you ever have too many TNs or tanks….I don’t think so….The thing is….if you wear them, and I’m sure you will….then it’s money well spent!

      1. Melissa

        Well, I do live in Florida and don’t get to wear the sweaters as often as I’d like. But I still consider it money well spent. 🙂

  9. Sally

    Louis, I missed out on the Blue A263353 Hi Low Hem Tunic, but just saw there are two new colors on “waitlist”. Could you please give us a sneak look at these colors so we can get a head start. Love ALL your styles.

    1. louis dell'olio

      Sorry….they should not have been listed! They are not due until late spring. The fabric hasn’t even been printed yet and I don’t expect my samples until April.

  10. MadameDuFiffers

    Hi Louis,

    Will the silver single fish necklace be coming back before the holidays? TIA.

    1. louis dell'olio

      Dear Madam…..the silver fish hasn’t been reordered….only the Gold and Gunmetal are avail.

        1. Goldie76

          Now that’s a fish! Wouldn’t want it pulling down my neck, but it is, unarguably, a statement necklace.

        2. Louis Dell'Olio

          Yes, I saw that on Vogue.com….They have pics of the complete shows from all of the designers. The fish was the best part of the collection….I especially liked the saran wrap pants on many of the models…..maybe the pant samples didn’t arrive and they improvised!!

          1. Cela

            ???? LOL

  11. Joanne

    Louis
    What a shock! I checked an order on QVC. QVC has already posted up for ordering the olive and grey slim ankle pants. Someone posted under your section in the Forums the information. I checked and it is true. If you press the colors, they say waitlisted. Clearly they have rushed them. I wish they could rush more alabaster short sleeve whisper knit sweaters also.

    1. louis dell'olio

      Dear Joanne….I don’t know why they constantly post the new colors when tyhey will not be avail for months! As soon as a color is ordered they post it even thought it isn’t due for 5 months. Then women pre-order only to have them canceled, because they will only hold a wait list order for a limited time before it automatically gets canceled. This is a programming problem that has not been changed and probably will never be changed….it just frustrates everyone……the alabaster crew has not been reordered and probably will not be, because there is still inventory on the other two colors. That happens over and over. Everyone buys the one color and the wait list is huge, and the other colors sit. When this happens there is no chance of a reorder.

      1. Joanne

        Louis
        Any possibility you could do a whisper knit tank in Alabaster. I am on waitlist for the short sleeve sweater, but will probably never get it. From what I read there are others in my situation. I almost would prefer an alabaster whisper knit tank.

        Thanks Louis

        1. Louis Dell'Olio

          Dear Joanne….I would certainly consider it…..but…..at the moment there is a lot of inventory in many colors of the WK tank, so they will not be reordering it unless the inventory goes down.

  12. victoria1

    louis,
    Just copied this A267847 off your blog because i wanted your black Henley tunic…but i #A267847 belongs to a LOGO tunic/ sure you aren’t aware…are you out of the Henley and they have reassigned the number?

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      A267847 is definitely my Henley tunic I just went to the Line Leisure section and there it is. Are you sure you didn’t type the wrong number?

      1. Louis Dell'Olio

        The number is A267874,,,, not 47…. Sorry

  13. Joanne

    Louis
    What is the general length of the new tunic shirt? I love the new tunic shirt. Maybe I misread, but I did not see the length in your description.

  14. designista

    Regarding the seamless leggings A260034, is that it for colors? They are showing black, navy and walnut. I was counting on more dark grey, and I thought there was an olive coming?

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      Sorry to say….yes that’s it for the colors this year….you are right there was supposed to be gray coming back and the new olive……something happened in the factory with the chlorine in the water and they were all ruined…it was too late to have them remade. Unfortunately, for this manufacturer…many orders were ruined and for some big high end stores and designer lines…..Thankfully it was only the leggings which are heavier and are dyed in different baths. The tights and the new tuxedo tights were not affected and were delivered…..The Tuxedo should be on line by the show….I hope the leggings still sell so I can bring them back next year……Hopefully next year they will have the water problem solved……P.S….the legging will be featured on the 1:00pm show…..

  15. Melissa

    Louis,

    Any idea when that light blue hoodie you showed with the hooded ponte blazer will be available? Looking forward to more sneak peeks of it.

    Have a package waiting at home for me filled with some of your goodies. Can’t wait to open it, then will report back.

    So far I have received the trench in navy. Loooooove! The details are outstanding. Was debating between the olive and navy and by the time I placed my order the olive was gone, so my decision was made for me. Hope it comes back in maybe an olive/khaki combo?

    Got the moto jacket in plum. Oh my goodness…gorgeous!!! The leather is like butter and the color is so rich. Can’t wait to wear it. Because it is a combination of knit and leather, I’m assuming we can’t clean it?

    The v-neck tiered sweater in burgundy/rosehip was a nice surprise. I like the saddle shoulder and the nice long sleeves. So comfy.

    Got the single bar necklace in 3 colors. Considering going on waitlist for the gold. Very cool…

    Those are just a few highlights. 🙂

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      Melissa what do you mean by cleaning the Moto? There should be cleaning instructions…You can’t wash it…

      1. Louis Dell'Olio

        P.S. I have no idea when the hooded sweater will be avail. It was supposed to be NOW, but it’s not scripted in the show….I never know what they are doing or why.

        1. Melissa

          And thanks for responding about the hooded sweater. I’ll be patient and just keep my eye out for it.

      2. Melissa

        Well, I’m not sure what I meant so just disregard that question. I didn’t notice any cleaning instructions, but I didn’t look for them either. I guess what I was getting at is when I wear my all leather jacket, I never really clean it, just wipe it off if I get something on it. With the knit/leather one, I just need to be more careful and just spot clean it if I get something on the sleeves…

        Kind of silly question now that I think about it, sorry!

        1. Louis Dell'Olio

          I think spot clean is the best bet….Probably the sleeve is the most vulnerable….so be careful….it’a a good thing the colors are dark…LOL

          1. Melissa

            Certain people call me “messy missy”, with good reason. Whenever I wear white, I no doubt will get something on it. So yes, good thing the moto is a dark color! 🙂

    2. Louis Dell'Olio

      Melissa….I just looked at the 6am show and the hooded sweater as well as the tiered sweater you got in the burgundy and Rosehip are on it!

      1. Melissa

        Great news! Thank you!!

  16. Mimi

    Hi Louis. Hope all is well with you and all of the girls. I remember you mentioning that QVC is reordering more of the ponte knit slim ankle pants (A265615). Do you know if they will be in by the Oct show? Are they going to be the only slim or legging pants for the winter? I have been hoping you would make a dark brown skinny or slim pant for this winter. Am I out of luck? Will there be a reoder for the Trench Coat? I received my size 6 with threads on the front seam coming out? I finally have all of the colors of the wing blouses and three in white. Thank you as always, for being my personal shopper. By the way, the new colors of the wk turtlenecks are beautiful. I’m ordering 1 or 2 more of each. I’ll have a front row seat for the October shows. Stay well

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      Dear Mimi…it takes 5to6 months for a reorder to come back. The slim pant will be in April at the earliest. I do not have any brown for this fall other than the reorder of the walnut Linea Body Legging which just got back into inventory. It’s too early to know if the trench will be reordered….it takes 3 months to see the return results . We’re the treads loose? That you could pull out??….glad to hear you like the TN colors.

      1. Mimi

        Thanks. The threads were not loose. I tried to pull them out thinking they were extra but they kept on coming out of the seam. I was soooo disappointed. The coat was phenomenal and the olive color, perfect. I really loved that coat. I even thought I would try to fix it but…. Thanks again

  17. Tylerpoo

    Louis, will a navy WK or other fabric skirt be coming in the future, I know ivory, pink and black is planned. Thanks

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      Dear Tylerpoo….none are planned at the moment, but who knows what they will reorder for fall.

  18. ChicShopper

    Dear Louis,

    I’m planning on grabbing the Blue Zebra as soon as it’s listed. I know you’ve talked about size so sorry for asking,, but I’m new to your brand. So, maybe you can help me with sizing. I just received the gorgeous trench in size 12 and I am in LOVE fits great!! I have a whisper knit cardigan in small and an animal print blazer in medium if that helps give you an idea of my sizing . I’m 5ft 2 and about 130 pounds.. What size in the zebra coat would you recommend?
    THANKS!

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      Dear ChicShopper….if you were a 12 in the trench and was happy with the fit, then it would make sense to me that you would be a med. in the zebra coat, but always compare the shoulder measurements. The trench had princess seams so it was a little more shaped than the Zebra, but the fit in the shoulder is where it will count most. If any of the other Ladies would like to voice their opinions….all opinions are welcome.

      1. ChicShopper

        Dear Louis, Thank you so much for your help!

  19. kate

    I’ve lost track! When do the tuxedo tights arrive? October or November?

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      They are at QVC and in process….I hope they will be posted for the show, but who knows?

      1. kate

        That’s great news!

        Would you pair them with this jacket or is that too much vertical interest when combined? Is the faux leather the same as used on the leather-sleeve hoodie? I love that piece.

        1. Louis Dell'Olio

          I would ABSOLUTELY pair them with this jacket. A black pencil skirt the gray and black tuxedo and a killer pump or shoe boot is how I’m showing one of the grey jackets. I’m not sure if it’s the exact same faux leather because two different factories made them, But the faux leather on the blazer is beautiful and the lining gives the sleeve more body and shape.BTW these tuxedo tights are killer sexy….even the grip girls on the set at QVC want them…..get DOUBLES!

  20. Sharon

    Well Louis I now have all my new sweaters and I’m totally happy especially the lilac and blue turtlenecks. Now I know I’m getting my zebra coat and now that new blouse has my name on it. Now are there any new items coming on these shows or should I go ahead and order some jewelry on my want list? I was watching the news tonight and it looks like a lot of rain might be coming your way. It’s so cold I finally got to wear a new swing sweater today.

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      Dear Sharon….there are always new things coming, but I am finished with new jewelry for the year…..Please don’t forget to let everyone know about what you have received, and post your reviews……I would appreciate it.

  21. Writer with Flair

    Dear Louis,

    That silk-looking polyester cady Tunic Shirt (A267880) is simply exquisite! What a beautiful combination of a gorgeous silhouette and a scrumptious fabric!

    Several years ago, I had a bright teal silk cady dinner pants suit that I just loved. What a beautiful fabric that was. Thanks so much for bringing us this lovely tunic in such a beautiful, yet easy care, fabric.

    Will there be pants or skirt out of the same fabric coming this fall or winter?

    My new Whisper Knit pieces were delivered this afternoon: the WK Swing Sweater (A259620)in Perfectly Pink, the WK Swing Turtleneck (A268137)in Ivory, and the WK Turtleneck (A724448)in Perfectly Pink. They are all beautiful. Thanks so much for indulging my love of all things Perfectly Pink and Ivory! Today, I am a very Happy Camper!

    Dare I ask for more? Will there be Whisper Knit skirts in Perfectly Pink or Ivory?

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      Yes there will be a wk skirt in May in Ivory and PPink….the pant will be in April.

      1. Writer with Flair

        Dear Louis,

        Thanks so much for the good news. You made my day.

  22. NJlady

    I just read that you said the boot leg pants in charcoal will match the v neck button down swing sweater.
    Is it the same color? Trying to see which color to buy in the pants
    Thank you –
    When will you show the matching tops or tell us what they will be??????

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      Dear NYlady….the charcoal Grey heather boot cut pant will blend with the WK swing cardigan, the WK tank, the WK long sleeve V-neck, and the A72448 Turtle neck. There is also a Blazer in the same ponte fabic as the pant and it works very well with the Zebra coat….it is also a great color to mix with everything else….Whatever you can wear with black you can wear with charcoal grey and sometimes even more.

  23. Dariann

    Dear Louis,

    I just received A259620, your swing sweater in tobacco and I couldn’t be more pleased. Last year I purchased the black so I already knew what a winner it was. My question is, will your new zebra coat in tobacco and black look good with this sweater? I was originally going to order the blue and black zebra coat, but I am now leaning toward this tobacco – it is such a rich deep color.
    Thanks,
    Dariann

  24. Deborah Belle

    A few years back you had a matching cardigan and knit skirt available on QVC. Will you make a similar set in knit or do you have one available?

    Thanks

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      Also you should look under the Whisper Knit section of the Linea site…..there are sweaters and skirts that match….even the WK scarf.

  25. Ann

    Louis – I just received my charcoal gray heather order yesterday. The turtleneck is the charcoal gray heather. i also received the cardigan and the tights. The pants are next. They are all stunning! Thanks for your wonderful designs and everything you do to keep us in the loop.

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      Ann, it’s my pleasure….I’m just happy you are pleased with everything. I know when you get the pants you will be doubly pleased with how it all works together.

  26. FreddieMac

    Louis,
    I just wanted to thank you again for the wonderful trench coat. You probably didn’t realize this, but it makes a perfect cover-up for eclipse viewing. I was sitting in bed in my pajamas last night reading, when I suddenly remembered that the eclipse of the moon was about to begin. I rushed outside, grabbing my navy trench on the way to cover up my pjs. The red moon was just beginning and it was spectacular. None of the cars passing by my yard realized that the lady stumbling around in the dark with her binoculars was wearing pjs. She looked so fashionable!

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      Your story is very Steven Speilberg……I missed it. I was in PA and it was cloudy…Jac saw it in Ct.

      1. Goldie76

        I ducked out of my house six times and was able to see the spectacle unshrouded by clouds a total of three times. Each time it was clear for my viewing, I’d text my sons to go look. Although one lives but 15 minutes away and the other 20 minutes away, neither one got to see the unusual sight because of a heavy cloud covering. There is something about space and astronomical rarities that captures my fancy. When Comet Hale-Bopp came through and I knew I’d never see it again in my lifetime, I went out every possible night to look at it. Since I was staring at the heavens for over a year, I let neighbors know what I was up to.

        1. Goldie76

          I’m not absolutely certain it was the Hale-Bopp (in fact, I think it had some difficult surnames that named it but I don’t recall it). I do recall that it was visible to the naked eye for a sustained period of time, and I wasn’t about to let the opportunity of seeing it go by without taking it in.

          1. Qulia

            Goldie, I remember the Hale-Bopp comet. It was so beautiful and strange at the same time. I looked at it every chance I could, particularly on the nights when it was clear. It made me aware of how vast the universe is and how some greater power created it all. How about the recent finding of water on Mars? We humans with all our brain power and science and technology and imagination can only scratch the surface of the wonders around us and beyond.

            Julia

            1. Goldie76

              Julia, you got at the heart of the matter when you wrote “the wonders around us and beyond.” So true. When I behold how great the universe is, I find it mystifying and beyond comprehension. When one thinks about the miracle of creating life, that, too, is overwhelming when one thinks of all the “parts” and chains of events that must come together and occur in a precise manner. There was one other comet before or after Hale-Bopp, and it was not going to reappear again in my lifetime. The name was complex, to some degree. Something like “Ruffendofer-Dufarensky.” (I made up a ridiculous-sounding name, but it was one not easily remembered. If someone recalls its name, please write back.) Acutely feeling the vastness of time (and its mystery), I watch these one-time celestial events every moment possible. My first husband wrote something very intriguing after interviewing two astronauts (both European) who had gone up on the “Challenger.” There was some conversation about becoming younger if you can go faster than the speed of light. Ladies, there is the answer to perpetual youth!

            2. Goldie76

              It goes without saying, but not wanting to confuse anyone, I want to make it clear that the “Challenger” mission the two astronauts were on occurred several years before the unfortunate disaster.

            3. Goldie76

              Just correcting myself — one astronaut was American (John Fabian) and the other was Dutch (Wubbo Ockels). The symposium where the interview took place was in Athens.

  27. Joanne

    Hi Louis
    As I have written previously I love the ankle slim pants that QVC has decided to reorder. Initially you did not think they would reorder. It forced me to buy a few more pants in all colors. I hope these pants become an essential in your offerings. They fit like a dream, work either for dressy, professional or casual due to the wonderful fabric.

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      Dear Joanne….if the sales are strong and the returns are low enough they will reorder. I have to say the returns were border line, but the reviews were many and mostly very good….that was the deciding factor….so reviews are important.

  28. Kathy/Wis

    Louis
    I see your turtleneck is listed as an item for pm style? Will you be there?

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      No….they did that last week too, but never showed it…..I didn’t get any notification….and I’m HOME…

  29. luvitorleaveit

    Hi Louis the quilted jacket was such a hit that my order in black went from processing forever to now backorder and I ordered it the same day as the presentation. More are coming in please tell me yes!

      1. luvitorleaveit

        My black quilted jacket has shipped after all! What a tease from the Q it looks like that had a lot more challenges with delivery or merchandise this go around I hope they get their act together on your next visit.

        1. Louis Dell'Olio

          That’s good news….I really don’t know what the problem is. The shipping facilities are not part of the studio building where I go to. I don’t think the problem is only with my product.

  30. Goldie76

    inally — I Met Another Linea Lady, Face to Face, at Church

    Louis, today after church I went to our social hall. Before getting my coffee and pastry, I stopped in the church bookstore. As I went to pay for my items, I almost gasped when I looked at the wonderful woman who had volunteered to manage the bookstore today. She was wearing the lilac jacket that has pearl buttons from several seasons ago. I believe you had it in black and a white or ivory, too. Many times, it has been on clearance, but is now gone. Anyway, I sputtered, “Louis Dell’Olio while pointing at her jacket. She smiled and responded yes. This woman is a physician in her professional life and is about late 50s to early 60s. Plus, she is one one of kindest, gentlest beings in our parish. What a lovely Linea Lady she is. (Once before, I saw a woman in your cotton blue and white capri pants from last summer that “crdb” likes so much. That lady was my first Linea Lady; I saw her as I drove out of my local strip mall.)

    1. Goldie76

      Finally (I don’t know what happened to the “F.”)

  31. Susan (aka CarlyTwila)

    Hi Louis,
    I am seeking your expert opinion. I have a wedding in Sonoma, CA in mid-October. The invitation states dress is “California casual”. The bride is Indian and the groom is Irish. I am not sure if the bride will be dressed in red and guests in bright colors, as is customary. I am considering the flag blue textured skirt and cap sleeve top for my attire. The weather should be warm during the day, but will cool off at night. What would you recommend as a layering piece for a little warmth?

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      A237402 is the open front cardigan. I think this would work well with the two piece dress because there are no buttons to clash with any jewelry you might want to wear. You can push the sleeve up and wear bangles…..dress it up with the nuggets necklace in silver or gold, and the Demi hoop in silver or the bolder hoop in silver.

      1. Susan (aka carlytwila)

        Black and Lapis are left in my size. I am assuming black, right?
        Thanks for the quick response!

        1. Louis Dell'Olio

          Yes….black

  32. Joanne

    Hi Louis
    You have shared with us that on FEW Monday morning you will be showing the whisper knit turtle neck. What is the other item you are showing – a new sneak peak?

  33. MadameDuFiffers

    Dear Louis,

    I received my Imperial Violet swing sweater and it is gorgeous; almost iridescent! I feel like royalty in it HA! Can’t wait to see the next batch of colors in either the TN or the original swing…maybe a V-neck…in the same luscious ENR.

    Thanks so much for this perfect garment!

    Madame

  34. Eileen

    Hi, Louis, I was thrilled to see that you are bringing back the slim ankle pants in some new colors. They are the best fitting pants I have ever had and will buy all the new colors. Could you tell us when they will be coming. Also, I just received the violet swing sweater, and it is absolutely gorgeous. Such a nice fit. I put in an order for another one.

  35. Shari

    Louis
    Any brown or olive pants coming this season??
    Would love some of the wovens that were offered
    a while back. Not too many sizes or olive left in those.
    By the way-I ordered multiples in black and packed
    Two pair away , in case they discontinue.

    Ordered the pure pink v neck WK sweater-love this pink better – keep it
    coming. Maybe in a ruffle blouse or for next Spring -a boho skirt!!

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      Dear Shari…..I will be bringing back the slim pant from this past spring that was in the black, navy and light khaki….in…..BLACK…..OLIVE…..and GREY….I will not be bringing back the navy and Lt. Khaki to make room for the new colors

      1. Yvette

        Louis, will we have to wait until Spring for the new colors? I could really use olive and grey, the sooner the better! (Already have the three previous colors with multiples in black.)

        1. Louis Dell'Olio

          Yes…I’m afraid so

          1. Yvette

            Ah well, what’s the saying? Better late than never! Here in NOLA I could have worn them all winter. But we’re all just so happy to hear that these are returning.

      2. Shari

        Yahoo!! Just the colors I need!
        When will they be on or on line to order?
        Thankyou for the great styles!
        I am a TRUE Linea lady.

  36. Merrylass

    Love all the new pieces! Will there be any new whisper knit skirt colours?

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      Yes…..I am doing a WK skirt in the Milano Knit which is a little denser…in Ivory, Perfectly Pink and Black…..due in May.

      1. Goldie76

        Wonderful news! Thank you.

      2. Writer with Flair

        Dear Louis,

        What good news to hear that there will be WK skirts in the Milano Knit in Ivory, Perfectly Pink, and Black! I definitely can use all three colors.

        Will there also be sweaters or knit jackets coming in the Milano Knit in those colors as well?

      3. Sharon Santourian Holman

        Ivory!!!!!! So elegant, I think I’m in

  37. Barbara Schmadebeck

    Dear Louis – love your gunmetal jewelry — any plans for a gunmetal bracelet ??

    1. Melissa

      I was going to ask the same thing. Would love a gunmetal and also a chocolate bracelet.

  38. kate

    I noticed your “important dates” tab has not been updated with your late September show! Hate to see some miss it because the update is buried elsewhere. I use that tab all the time!

    1. Opal ELLIOTT

      I have several of your jewelry necklaces. Do they contain mivkel

    2. Louis Dell'Olio

      Sorry…this was such a last minute addition….I have been remiss…it is updated.

  39. Grace

    Dear Louis,

    I love the WK v-neck and have it in every color. When you consider colors for a reorder, might we see an ivory or white next time?

      1. Grace

        Oh, yes, the classic v-neck!

  40. Clark55

    Louis…I just received my plum colored moto jacket. Oh my…this jacket is sooooo beautiful. What I love about all of your jackets, (and I have quite a few), are the rich colors that you come up with that I don’t see anywhere else. You are truly a master in your craft.

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      Dear Clark55, I am so glad to hear you love the color. I never know when I chose them if they are going to be well received. Again, I’m happy you like it.

      1. Susan (aka CarlyTwila)

        I love my plum moto too Louis! The blackened shades are to die for! Thank you for all you do to expand my color wardrobe! 🙂
        Susan

  41. Grace

    Dear Louis,

    Are we getting new colors in the LL Pull-On Pants A262070 and LL Boot Skirt A262069? If so, do you have a timeframe? Thanks in advance!

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      Dear Grace…..Yes to the pant coming in Jan…new colors Taupe and Gray plus the original colors….no to the skirt very weak sales.

      1. Qulia

        Are the gray pants a heather gray? Thanks!

        1. Louis Dell'Olio

          No….they are a solid gray. That fabric can not be done in a heather. It’s a piece dye fabric.

      2. Grace

        Thanks, Louis, that’s good news! Great colors and I’ll be getting both. So surprised the skirt has weak sales. I thought it was a big hit, judging from comments on the forum. I know I love it as a 4-season skirt that can be worn casually or even dressed up a bit & I have multiples of both the black & navy. I’ve been wearing it a lot recently–it’s the perfect transition piece. If they’d just try it, they’d like it!

        1. Grace

          I meant to add…I was so hoping for the LL boot skirt in white. Bummer.

        2. Pecan Cookie

          I also have multiples of this skirt because I love and wear it so much. Sad that there won’t be more colors.

  42. Sharon

    Louis will any of these grey sweaters go with the color block cardigan? I really like the blue grey combo but I would like a grey to match. I know it’s to hard to match the blues so grey is the answer.

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      The best match is the short sleeve crew neck that matches……the heather grey….not so much.

      1. Sharon

        Thank-you!

  43. ChicShopper

    Dear Louis,

    Is the new Imperial Violet Swing Sweater a royal purple or blue?

    Thank you!

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      It’s a blue PURPLE, not a red purple…..but it’s not blue. When you put it next to blue it is definitely purple.

      1. ChicShopper

        Thank you!

  44. CC

    Linea moto = ahhhhhh yes! Been waiting 4 years for this jacket. Looked at every moto I came across from California to Australia wanting and not finding the perfect moto. Yours is it. Thank you.

  45. ChicShopper

    Dear Louis,

    I’m new to your line and so happy to have found you. The burgundy trench coat popped up in my size so just ordered it with 4pay to help out too!

    I would love to get the burgundy tights I saw on the models. BUT, I can’t find any burgundy tights listed. Are the sold out or not yet available?
    Thanks!

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      Dear Chicshopper…..the color was Aubergine and they are sold out. Do you have the Aubergine skirt in the Whisper Knit…if not you can take the belt of the coat to a store and look for a close color…….Bloomindales, Nordstrom , Macy’s and Target all carry color tights…Hue usually has good up to date colors.

      1. ChicShopper

        Thanks Louis for the super quick reply!

        I’m new to your brand and only have a few pieces so far. So that’s a great idea I’ll take the belt to the store… I hope the aubergine comes back in stock as well.. I’ll keep checking Q too.

        BTW,, I’m chomping on the bits for the zebra coat! Will be getting it in blue!!

  46. Elaine

    Just had to tell you about (yet another) Linea compliment Louis.
    Was up at Sotheby’s ogling their upcoming jewelry auction and one of the staff was admiring my “Amethyst & Gold” Color Station Necklace J288007. I thanked her and ogled on and now I thank you. Also dressed in my Linea.
    Elaine

  47. Brigid

    Hi Louis…I am really looking forward to the zebra striped coat, let’s hope it doesn’t sell out too quickly. I live in Ca and getting up at 3:00 am is a bit of a struggle. Will you still be showing all three colors?

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      Dear Brigid…My show is at 1:00 pm…and they will probably post the coat at midnight which is 9:00 pm your time. They won’t put the coat on the 6am show…..so there’s no need to get up at 3 unless you want to see the 6 am show.

  48. NJlady

    Hope you will give a sneak peek of the new jacket that matches pants so we know which color to order
    thanks

  49. Seka

    Louis,

    Was reading the Reviews for the new Ponte Pants A268216 – one Linea Lady purchased 5 Black pairs – and 1 Grey – and gave them a 5 Star rating!

    Have ordered the Black Pants – and will wait to see the Sneak Peek of the Jacket – might want to get the Grey Pants & Jacket as a suit option.

  50. Deborah (a.k.a. Diamondscribe)

    Hi, Louis. I received my ponte pants today. The are terrific and I’m keeping my fingers crossed that they get reordered because I’m going to have to return mine. I’v lost some weight so I went down a size in my order, but apparently I went down 2 sizes. I rushed to order the size I need, but it is sold out in both colors. It’s a bummer that these new ponte pants were in processing for days before shipping so that I didn’t have time to order another. I will continue to stalk them. I agree with Jane J. that these remind me of my favorite Roma Ponte pants. I just unpacked my Roma Ponte “Audrey Hepburn” jackets this weekend. I’m so ready for it to get cool enough to wear those.

    BTW, I am absolutely crazy about my moto jacket in plum. I love what you called the “blackened colors”. Those colors have always been a big part of my wardrobe. They’re so versatile in building outfits – definitive enough to be a “smile” of color, but not so bold that they command the ensemble, LOL.

  51. Jane J.

    Hi Louis, Just received the new pull-on ponte pants A268216. As soon as I opened the package, I thought, these remind me so much of the wonderful Roma Ponte pants, A210350, that you did 5 years ago. I pulled the Roma Ponte trouser pants from the closet and, sure enough, very similar, the new ones maybe just slightly lighter in weight. Anyway, love the darker charcoal color, the length is perfect [I’m 5’9″], they have a wonderful silky feel and they fit!! I have to be honest — I rarely can wear any of your pull-on pants — the back rise is always too short — but these fit beautifully and comfortably. I got both the charcoal and black and may go back for seconds! Looking forward to the matching jacket. Thank you for the fine clothes you design for us.

  52. Sharon santourian holman

    LOUIS!!! O M G, I just took my black leather MOTO!! Hello! Screaming from the roof top, I am size 16, wanted the plum, but ordered black. The leather is like lamb skin, how were you ever able to get that for us? It’s dreamy soft and supple. Second, the fit is so beautiful, I knew it would be flattering on my chubby self if you designed it, I look really good. I even tried it on with WK swing TNeck, it’s perfect, especially shoulder fit!

    Lastly, the hardware…..now I’m a car fanatic, I like fine quality stainless pieces on my cars. Your hardware is very shiny and sturdy, has an elegant look to it. Quality, the car part comparison tells you how picky I am. :).

    I’ m glad I waited to buy just the right Moto, it’s a real winner! Matches my new 2016 Mustang GT 435 hp, oh yeah I will be styling!

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      Dear Sharon….I am so HAPPY you are pleased with your jacket….Please spread your joy on the forum!!

  53. queendiva

    Hello Louis,
    On my Linea Wish List for next fall: WK and leather jacket, fingertip length with zip front and collar.
    I have nearly all of your leather and suede jackets, as well as most every other Linea outerwear style. Love and wear them all, but partial to leather & WK. Expecting delivery of my moto jacket this afternoon!
    A girl must dream. Thanks for reading.

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      I have sketched one but that’s no guarantee they will pick it. Hope you like your Moto!

      1. queendiva

        Love my new black moto jacket. You never disappoint this Linea Lady.
        Off to write my five star review!

  54. Joanne

    Hi Louis
    I received the beautiful sneak surprise ribbed cardigan in ivory from your last visit as well as the ribbed V neck in Clay. I was so thrilled with both sweaters. They are both wonderful additions to my fall, winter, spring wardrobe. To your other fans for their information, both sweaters run true to size.

    Also Louis, I am the Joanne that alerted you yesterday that your Turtleneck swing sweater was listed among the products slated to be shown on PM Style last night. I was not mistaken it was listed on the website, but not shown on the show. Clearly they used your wonderful sweater as a lure to watch the show.

    Thank you again for your wonderful designs.

  55. Jane

    Louis,
    Received my wk scoop neck tank in raspberry. OMG, gorgeous color !!!!!
    I plan on wearing it under your animal jacquard zip front jacket in raspberry. Will you be doing any other pieces in the raspberry ? Love love the color. Looks so rich!!
    Louis, the quality of your clothes far surpasses the other designers that QVC carries. You have spoiled us! I rarely buy any others anymore!

    Thanks,
    Jane

    1. louis dell'olio

      Dear Jane….I am happy to hear you appreciate all the work and attention that goes into bring the best quality “we” can to our customers. It isn’t an easy task having such price restrictions…..As of now I do not have any plans to bring Raspberry back in any other styles.It’s is , or was avail in 4 styles including the WK shawl.

  56. Joanne

    Hi
    Are you appearing on QVC tonight 9/21 on PM Style The whisper knit turtle neck swing sweater is shown as a product on the show tonight.

  57. donna s kilbert

    do you still make the 42″ silver tone single fish necklace? if yes where can I buy it? QVC no longer carries this piece. Thank you

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      Dear Donnqa as of now it’s sold out and I don’t know if QVC plans to reorder it. It is exclusive to them.

  58. designista

    Good Morning Louis! I’m confused. Is the WK turtleneck, A72448, in the new heather charcoal grey the one that QVC is calling Charcoal Grey, or is that last year’s Charcoal that I already have? There is no new color swatch for the heather grey, and I don’t believe last year’s charcoal sold out. The WK V-neck in the new heather is also being called Charcoal Grey. No problem there since there hasn’t been a charcoal in that sweater before.

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      I asked them the same question but haven’t received an answer.

  59. Sharon Santourian Holman

    Tunic shirt? I’m very interested

  60. bonnie

    Louis, how does the imperial violet compare to the mulberry? Thank you!!

  61. Dariann

    Dear Louis,

    My gold single bar necklace arrived yesterday and I am wearing it today with my real gold jewelry. What a winner it is! I did remove the extender to make it look like an 18K gold piece.
    Dariann

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      Smart lady……I’m sure no one will know the difference….It was beautifully made.

  62. Michelle

    Louis

    I didn’t think it was possible for you to top the amazing trench coat this season. But I was wrong. I just received the moto leather jackets. I couldn’t decide on a color, so I ordered all three. They are the most amazing moto jackets that I’ve ever worn. I’m heading over to QVC to leave a 5-star review. However, I wanted to take a moment and say “thank you” for bringing us these incredible jackets. They have claimed a spot amongst my most treasured LDO pieces.

    Have a wonderful weekend. I’m looking forward to the October show.

    Michelle

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      Dear Michelle….it’s always good to hear when my ladies are happy with what they have received. Other than fit, and color….I was sure you all would be pleased with the quality

    1. Writer with Flair

      Dear Louis,

      Sounds GREAT. Can’t wait to see it.

  63. Writer with Flair

    Dear Louis,
    Will there be any other pieces coming in the Alabaster color?

  64. MadameDuFiffers

    Dear Louis,

    Thank you for answering all my (our) questions. The information you post on your blog is invaluable.

    I must say that the tobacco (as well as the clay) is such a luscious color that I’m tempted to start coloring my hair brown again. I will refrain from asking whether it is a blue based tobacco LOL!

    You’re the best.

    Hope you and Jac are having a wonderful evening.

    Madame
