This is the suit, or I should say, the color of the suit that Jac has……did you really think it would be any other??? I know some of the pictures look like Charcoal grey, but that’s because of the flash. When I turned the flash off you couldn’t see anything!…..I paired the BLACK with the new TOPAZ  jewel neck WK SWEATER………..TOPAZ and BLACK is one of MY favorite color combinations….I just think it looks rich. Since the zipper on the jacket happens to be GUNMETAL I chose my NEW DOUBLE SIDED CROSS, which just happens to have a TOPAZ stone on one side and a BLACK stone on the other…..did you think it was just a coincidence!!!???….Unfortunately….the Gunmetal SWIRL earring has already sold out in both pierced and clip….but who knows maybe someone will return  a pair….so keep looking.  The SILVER is still avail in one of the versions and the GOLD is avail in both , but EXTREMELY limited!!!  I will also have a GUNMETAL button earring with a TOPAZ stone in the middle, so you may have another chance at a GUNMETAL earring. I will also have one other TOPAZ and GUNMETAL long necklace to mix with the cross….The Gunmetal LOVE KNOTS, now back in stock, look great with this cross too……many alternatives…………The pant is  new and will also be on the Aug 26th show…..I believe on the 11pm show, but don’t hold me to it….things change at the last minute……………..The BLACK OTTOMAN SKIRT is a fabulous separate skirt….it will work with many things, and give interest to your jersey WK sweaters…….. This skirt may be a knit, but as I said before, it has a lot of structure so you will feel very secure wearing it. You can never have enough variety with BLACK SKIRTS……………………………………………………………………………………………..

The last style I am presenting to you of the OLO WHISPER KNIT SWEATERS is, A237405, the JEWEL NECK SWEATER. This, other than the tank and turtleneck, is the most classic of the new styles being offered. This is an any time, any where sweater and certainly works for anyone’s LIFE STYLE. The colors that will be available in this style are………..TOPAZ……….MALACHITE…………IVORY…….BLACK [not pictured]…….and what is becoming the front runner color of the season………….RUBY………..I am sure this will be a work horse in your growing collection of WK sweaters…….when it is listed on the Linea….please check for accurate measurements……………………………………..enjoy……………..much Love………………….Louis

Introducing the brand new WHISPER KNIT SHAWL COLLAR SWEATER, A237409. I have to say, as all of the Whisper Knit sweaters are, this one is made superbly. The body, sleeves and collar are all in the EVERY NEEDLE RIB construction, which for me, is the ONLY way to make this style sweater and especially the fully fashioned collar. I would compare this sweater to any sweater produced in ITALY today. It could not possibly be made any better!!!. This style also features the WAIST WHITTLING RIB BAND that so many love and find very slimming. I think the two major details…..the SHAWL COLLAR and the WAIST WHITTLING band, work very well together………it UPDATES a shawl collar sweater and makes it quite sexy. I have shown the collar three ways…..totally bare with nothing under it…..with a scarf criss crossed at the neck………….and in the photo at the extreme lower left…..wrapped and “pinned” to create a ….higher to the throat look…………..yes that is a pierced earring I used as a pin……they work very well….as long as you don’t have the pin part sticking out into your neck…LOL. If you would like to try wearing it this way, as an alternative., I would suggest steaming out the fold mark in the collar first…..which I did not. I have simply paired the PEWTER sweater with my BLACK CREPE PANT, A232347/A232348 for petites, [the pant never had any air time], and my GREY CHENILLE BLAZER, A218572, which many of you already own. The SWIRL EARRING, used as a pin, is J284008, but it’s going fast. I doubt many of you have a sweater quite like this, so I think it would be a nice addition to your WK collection………………..enjoy………much Love……………….Louis

The second color I am presenting in the WK SHAWL COLLAR SWEATER, A237409, is……… TOPAZ…………and YES, this will match and blend nicely to all of the topaz pieces you already own and the new ones coming. This sweater brings to mind words like CLASSIC, SOPHISTICATED, SPORTY, TOWN & COUNTRY, CHIC………..wear it with jeans or dress it up. I have shown it here with A VINTAGE ETRO SCARF, my BLACK CREPE TROUSERS, A232347/A232348, and my reordered LEATHER & KNIT BLAZER, A228554……………wear it with a BLACK PLEATED SKIRT or a BLACK PENCIL SKIRT, either the new WK A237412, or the acrylic wool blend that many many of you own……wear it with black suede pumps, maybe a chunky heel, black suede shoe booties [close to the ankle please], sleek tall boots….or, yes KATE….even your combat boots………………I know there are many ways you  will discover to mix and match this sweater with lots you already own…………enjoy……….much Love……………………….Louis

WALNUT is the third choice I am offering you in the new WK SHAWL COLLAR SWEATER, A237409. I think this sweater with the matching WK PENCIL SKIRT, A237412……..is down right sexy…..subtly….but none the less steamy. Any business woman walking into a meeting is going to command attention….with very little effort. This SHAWL COLLAR SWEATER is PERFECT under jackets as I have shown here with my TWEED BLAZER, from last year, which I know many of you own because it is completely sold out. For those of you who own the tweed in the “other” combination….yes, the sweater will work equally as well with that one too. It’s a terrific TOWN & COUNTRY LOOK…..For those of you who missed out on the tweed jackets…..no worries….I have a new one that is coming in THREE different color combination in Sept……….and it rivals last years! The AMBER/OLIVE necklace I have used to accessorize this look is, J271862, which has a companion earring, J271863………………..enjoy……….much Love………..Louis
