The photos above of Sneak Peek #1 illustrate the dress in the two addition colors…………………BLACK/BLUE………………………BLACK/GREY………….. The Ivory/ Bamboo was not purchased for the dress. Again, the detailing and the workmanship of this dress is strictly HIGH END. It is well worth every penny and considerably more. This dress should have actually been more money, and if it should ever be reordered, I know my manufacturer could never maintain the price it is being offered at. Again I am showing the MATCHING STRIP CARDIGAN, A232510, and the WHISPER KNIT BOLERO SHRUG, A232520, an ESSENTIAL PIECE for ALL WOMEN, all sizes, all ages. The look is TODAY and TOMORROW. It is MODERN, SLEEK, ELEGANT, BOLD and very very CHIC………………………………………………………Enjoy, much Love……………….Louis

The MAXI DRESS A224712, reorder is coming back and will be on my March 4th show. All of the original colors are returning, plus we have added two new color combinations…………………………..they are……………………………………BLACK/SUNSHINE YELLOW…………………..SPRUCE GREEN/PURPLE………………………..The sunshine yellow works great with the sunshine yellow JEAN JACKET that many of you already own and many have on wait list……they truly look terrific together. Of course, the white denim jacket looks wonderful too…………..The back ground of the Spruce Green combination was tinted a very pale mint green. Instead of having a stark white ground I thought it would be a little softer adding this tint……it was not an easy thing to do….not to much tint and not too little was a challenge. The accent color is a reddish purple, which I love with green.

I know many of you love  this dress for many reasons…..The print, the length, the fabric, the easy care and it’s so easy to travel with. I know many of you missed out on the first go around, but it’s available to order right now, so take advantage of the early ordering. I hope you like my new colors……I think they came out really well…..scroll down for photos of the original colors that are avail………….enjoy…………much Love Louis

All of the original colors of the A224712, maxi dress, are coming back too!

Many of you have been asking me exactly what color the CARIBBEAN BLUE is, and what the colors are in the new OLIVE combination for the Hydrangea print jersey reorder top. Since it is already avail to order, I felt you all should know what you are ordering, not just buying site unseen. As you can see from the photo above, the Caribbean Blue is a beautiful aqua/turquoise color that you only see in the beautiful waters of the Caribbean. I have no other garments made or coming in this color, but you can bet I will use it in the future. The accent colors are…………SUNSHINE YELLOW, GOLDENROD, LAVENDER and WHITE. The leaves are two shades of yellow greens. I have paired it with the denim skirt in WHITE and the SUNSHINE YELLOW, which I think looks fantastic and will be the perfect for summer. The olive………yes it is my olive and will work with all of your Linea olive bottoms, has accent colors of………….TANGERINE, CORAL, YELLOW and WHITE. It also, has two shades of yellow greens for the leaves. In the photos above I have the top paired with the OLIVE BOHO, and a NEW PONTE DRAW STRING SKIRT in NECTARINE! [coming in April]. It is styled from a traditional “sweat pant”…………swings both ways….dressy or casual. I know they are going to be  wonderful additions to your Linea wardrobes………………………………………………………………enjoy…….much Love……….Louis

FEBRUARY JEWELRY consists of two pieces, J278125, the BEAD & HAMMERED LINK NECKLACE, and the coordinating FACETED BEAD DROP EARRING, J278127, which is very light in weight. The necklace and earring will be available in THREE different color combinations…………………..The first is called………….”GOLD TONE”……………………..The necklaces are named after the metal color of the HAMMERED OBLONG RINGS. In this necklace…..there are FIVE different color FACETED beads  in various shapes and sizes. There are ……………….CITRINE……………..LIGHT TURQUOISE…………CORAL/PINK……………LIGHT SMOKEY TOPAZ………..MATTE BRASS beads…… plus SIX LARGE OBLONG HAMMERED RINGS. The necklace is approx. 48 inches long with a 3 inch extender, and a lobster claw closing. The necklace can be shortened to 44 inches if necessary by hooking the lobster claw onto additional rings that are close to the beads………………………The earring is made up of one small CORAL/PINK bead and one larger CITRINE bead. The earring  is approx. 3 inches long……………If need be, you can always shorten the earring by easily removing one of the beads………..it would not hurt the look with the matching necklace at all. In the photos above …..the picture with the long necklaces is actually two necklaces on the longest length possible. The picture with the necklace doubled up is also two necklaces. I have added the addition of the GOLD PANTHER LINK WATCH, J273959, because I think it is the ideal watch to wear with this necklace. You will be surprised at how many things you will be able to wear this necklace with, both during the fall/winter and spring/summer. It looks great with winter tweeds as well as summer clothing. This past fall I mixed these necklaces with others when I show the tweed and the solid herringbone jackets in the violet, topaz and teal. It’s a great way to add color and a little sparkle with out being too much…………Enjoy…..much Love………Louis…………………………………..
