Yearly Archives: 2013

For all of my GIRLY GIRLS…… With the Oct. group of clothes, I thought it was the perfect time to offer a BOW BLOUSE  in my exclusive COTTON/SPAN TWILL  fabric. The style number is A238544………… By the way Chanel is offering a cotton bow blouse, this season, very similar to this, and you can bet it’s 5 times the price….Many of you already own this fabric in either the “Kate” or the “Robyn” shirts. It is a very fine twill fabric, 98% cotton and 2% spandex…..There is a lot of stretch to this fabric due not only to the spandex, but due to the weave. I love the denseness of the fabric. So many white shirts on the market are cheesy and close to transparent…..this one is not, and it feels like a very expensive cotton shirt….one that could cost $200 and up…..I was recently in Bergdorf’s men’s store buying a suit and they gave me a white dress shirt to put on with it…..the price tag…$1200….for a cotton shirt! I am used to seeing $250 for mens’ shirts but $1200!………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

DETAILS………this blouse has them all…..The color is WHITE………….The BOW……..the bow, when tied, stays nice and crisp. It will not flop! Once you tie it and arrange it the way you like….it will stay just that way!….This is VERY important. At the upper left, there is a small picture of the back of the collar. Notice how the fabric is SHIRRED to control the fullness so the collar doesn’t ride too far up the neck……a detail you would only see on the finest shirts….most wouldn’t bother with this added step……….Down the front is a  buttoned DOUBLE PLACKET with an approx 3/4 inch shirred ruffle on either side……At the bottom right is a detailed photo of the sleeve and cuff. The cuff itself has two buttons and has the same ruffle detailing at the hem. There is a button placket on the sleeve…..another detail that is often left off. This gives the shirt a nod to menswear. The bottom of the shirt has a curved shirt tail which I think is often more flattering and elongating than a straight across bottom………The picture at the lower right is not just to show you the length of the streamers, but offers another way to wear the shirt…………..Leaving the streamers UNTIED is considered “COOL”…….a very nonchalant hip look…..great with jeans. There are so many ways you can incorporate this kind of shirt into your wardrobes and many ways to wear it……from casual with jeans to dressed up with the sequin skirt…….a fun HOLIDAY LOOK………………………remember Sharon Stone with the Gap cotton shirt and the Vera Wang long evening skirt……………scroll down for more………………………………………………………………………….enjoy……much Love…………………………..Louis

I wanted to illustrate how this blouse incorporates into the Oct. collection of clothes…..though I know there are lots of things you already own that can be updated with the addition of this shirt. I added the RUBY WK TANK SWEATER as a vest, and then added the RUBY TWEED JACKET……..To give the whole look a more casual attitude……….I added the distressed jeans. This is a look you can wear right now….though the Fall and Winter and then…..perfect for EASTER SUNDAY…………….scroll down…………………..enjoy…………much Love …………………….Louis

This blouse will be offered in two colors….WHITE…&………LAPIS BLUE…..and it’s a very saturated vibrant BLUE! Wear it out and belt it over jeans or tuck it into your new EIGHT GORED TWEED SKIRT. Wear it with a cardigan or jacket……I totally understand that this design is not for everyone…..you either love bows….or you don’t….. but if you do………………You don’t find blouses like this very often….so this is definitely one to collect and own…………………………………………………………enjoy……………….much Love ………………………Louis

The ZIP FRONT LEATHER JACKET, A238539, has a new leather and knit combination. It is approx. 25 inches long, and has a shirt collar. There are band pockets, and the leather areas are lined. From the front the jacket looks like it’s all leather, but from the back there are side panels of rib knit, and there is a panel of ribbed knit on the under side of the sleeve…………this makes movement very easy and comfortable to wear. I would say this is semi fitted. The zipper is a one way zipper and the zipper on the  black is gunmetal……………….This is a classic timeless jacket with an edge…………….enjoy…………….much love…………………………………Louis

The second color being offered in the ZIP FRONT LEATHER JACKET is RUBY RED……………..I’m really not sure if they are calling it RED or RUBY….but there is only one RED. The one way zipper on the red jacket is GOLD and works perfectly with all of my RED LINEA JEWELRY…………..Above I have the jacket with BLACK pants and RED, both being sold on this show….no petites this time around. I also have the red jacket and pant teamed up with the new RUBY SEQUIN SHELL….sneak peek coming………..For all out GLAMOR……….You could even wear the sequin top with the jacket and the RUBY SEQUIN SKIRT…………..Everyone should have a RED jacket in their wardrobes and why not make it leather,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,enjoy………..much Love…………………….Louis
