Many times I am asked where does my inspiration come from? Any creative person will tell you inspiration can come from anything, anywhere, anytime. Sometimes we look back to see something in the future, and that is what I have done with the LOTUS PRINT. I thought you might like to see some of the pages from my Anne Klein 1991 Spring Look Book. These were books that we gave to our “A” stores, to be kept in the Anne Klein departments to help the sales people “know” the collection and to help the customers choose what they might like to purchase. It also gave the customers a chance to special order things the store may not have purchased. The clothes above are TWENTY TWO YEARS OLD and there is nothing there you couldn’t wear TODAY………tunics, lace, bold prints, bamboo and black. I hope you have enjoyed looking back in time…..you never know what you may see in the future…………………………………………………………….enjoy…………..much Love……………….. Louis
In the photos above I will be featuring FOUR NEW ITEMS……..The JACKET, A233851, and PANT, A233852 reg./A233853 petite……and ………..The LOTUS PRINT CARDIGAN, A233854, and TANK, A233855.
The JACKET is made in a brand NEW FABRIC. In the photo at the lower right you can see the texture and weave. The “LOOK” is a hop sack linen, thought it is actually 100% polyester. The look and FEEL is linen, faux yes, but definitely LINEN. The BAMBOO color and the texture of the fabric reminds me of a PANAMA HAT. This is a more substantial fabric than the faux linen Herringbone from last season. The contrast jacket trims are in the same fabric…..always BLACK. There are four patch pockets that are buttoned with REAL SHELL BUTTONS. I emphasize REAL SHELL because that is practically unheard of on any apparel at QVC, or for that matter in the department stores………unless it’s DESIGNER…..They are expensive and getting more and more so. The jacket has snap out shoulder pads. The jacket is also UNLINED…..so it will be comfortable for a longer period of time. It is approx. 25 inches long for the XS. The sleeves are 3/4 length and finished with the same contrast banding. I think the BAMBOO/BLACK jacket works best with a black tank and a black bottom or the matching BAMBOO or BLACK pant…..It also looks terrific with the LOTUS PRINT tank or CARDIGAN wrapped and tied as the large picture shows…………………..the total look is Classic and CLASSY……..timeless and ELEGANT. You might also want to try one of your new WHISPER KNIT sweaters under the Bamboo and Black…..the Aqua, Nectarine and Hot Pink would all look marvelous………….. These clothes have NOTHING to do with trends that are here today and tomorrow’s old news. These are clothes that you will wear today and TWENTY TWO years from today.
The PANT will be avail. in two lengths. A233852 is the style number for the regular length and A233853 is the petite length. I do not know what the inseam measurement is for either one. The pant will be avail in ……BAMBOO ..&……….BLACK…………It is unlined for maximum coolness. These pants will be sold in NUMERICAL SIZES. I would suggest staying with the numerical size that has worked best for you. The pant has a zip front with the same shell button. These classic pants have slant TROUSER POCKETS. For me, there is nothing more refined than seeing a woman in a great pair of LINEN TROUSERS…..even if they are faux………..Hepburn, Lombard, Dietrich, all come to mind.
The LOTUS CARDIGAN……you all have seen the inspiration for the print…..originally a silk georgette from one of the premiere print houses of Italy, reinterpreted in my faux de Chine…..the same fabric as my recent IKAT print top and skirt. The cardigan is completely banded in solid black. At it’s longest point it is approx. 30 inches long, and at the center back it measures approx. 25 1/5 inches long for the XS. I love the versatility of this piece. Wear it open and loose, tie it casually in the front….or….wear it as a wrap blouse tied in the back…..marvelous worn this way under suit jackets, such as my black SEAMED CREPE BLAZER, with the new Bamboo pant. If you are familiar with the fabric, you know how light and comfortable it is, certainly appropriate all summer long. If you are not familiar with the fabric, I would suggest you read the reviews of the IKAT print top. This is a unique print that is obviously EUROPEAN, and deserved to be brought back to live another day.
The LOTUS PRINT TANK. This is a beautiful separate piece that is completely finished off with contrast banding. It is approx. 24 1/2 inches long for the XSS, and it has small side slits. Wear it under ALL of your new Black pieces…….the SEAMED CREPE BLAZER…the WK CARDIGAN or KIMONO….the new longer GAUZE KIMONO…..THE NEW GAUZE or WK SHRUGS, the NEW GAUZE DRAPED FRONT CARDIGAN, the matching LOTUS PRINT CARDIGAN…..and of course the BAMBOO/BLACK JACKET….I could go on and on with what you can wear it, but I guess it is pretty obvious. The length of the tank is approx.24 1/2 inches for the xs………..Also, in the photos above I have featured, the new this season, faux de Chine PLEATED SKIRT. The sunburst crepe pleated skirt from this passed fall, also looks terrific with all of the pieces above…………………………….scroll down for additional pictures……………………enjoy…..much Love……Louis
