……………….THE JADE TANK, A255148, is a color I have not QUITE done before. I have done similar colors like REEF GREEN…..but none are exactly this JADE. I specifically tried to match the JADE in the TILE PRINT SKIRT, as you can see in the blow up photo at the upper left…….Due to the colors in the print, I chose to show the new Jade tank with the new COFFEE BEAN WK OPEN FRONT CARDIGAN and SKIRT…….I will never understand why some think colors like brown, pewter, or olive are not summertime colors…..not everything can be pastel or bright….These deep dark colors are BASE colors off of which your Jade, Wisteria etc. are played off of………They accentuate the high lighted colors. Most colors worn correctly can be worn all year……………….JADE……is one such FABULOUS COLOR……….scroll down…………………….enjoy………….much Love……….Louis

……………………………….Many of you have asked me to do a FUCHSIA color in WK………I think this DEEP PINK is such a color….It reminds me of all the beautiful tropical flowers I always take pictures of for inspiration. Of course it looks wonderful with the MAGENTA TILE PRINT SKIRT, but with a simple BLACK or WHITE bottom it makes a very strong statement on it’s own…….Accessorized or not…..it’s a STAND ALONE PIECE………………scroll down………………..enjoy…………much Love………………….Louis

…………………………..I know you have so many BLACK TANKS!……..but…..if I didn’t offer this SPECIAL TANK in BLACK….I definitely would have been asked…..”why no black?” This particular tank deserves to be in every color……especially………… BLACK…………….It really looks wonderful with the new CRUSHED GAUZE ASYMMETRIC HEM SHELL JACKET……A pair of IVORY CREPE TROUSERS and you have a fabulous timeless look….with a definite EDGE……………….This is the end of the sneak peeks for the JUNE 5th shows. Actually, this is the FINALE of my SPRING/SUMMER SEASON…….I will have a very small presentation on July 10th at 5:00am where I will be showing three new things and two reorders…the BOHO being one of them……………then on to FALL 2014………………*I hope you have found a few things you liked enough to add to your  Linea wardrobes.

………………………………………………………….Enjoy your SUMMER!…………….much Love……………………………………Louis

…………………The JADE ANIMAL PRINT CARDIGAN, A255193, will be presented for the first time on my June 5th show at 5:00PM with Leah Williams………..The cardigan has a V-neckline with five buttons down the front. The sleeves are 3/4 length and have a three inch rib bottom. The bottom of the sweater has a tubular finish which keeps the bottom smooth and flat…..The total length of the cardigan is approx. 26 inches for the XS…..The sweater is made in 100% cotton. It always surprises me when I hear complaints about 100% cotton garments for what ever reason, and I’m sure that is their experience….However, I have not received one complaint about any of my 100% cotton sweaters…….Due to the dying of the print and the several washings it goes through as part of the dye process…..what ever shrinkage there was has already taken place. If the washing instructions are followed, there should not be any problems. Cotton is a natural, breathable fiber and is one of the most comfortable fibers to wear……………..The animal print is not literal…….It is an “ABSTRACT WATER COLOR” version of an imaginary animal……..as was my BUTTERFLY CARDIGAN……The effects are very similar……………..This is an……ENGINEERED PRINT……..Meaning the cardigan is printed in one piece with the sleeves and back already attached to the front….so….the sleeve join….the shoulder join  ALL MATCH!!!! Each panel of the sweater and each sleeve have their own design….this is not an easy process of printing……one slip or mistake and the effect is ruined….This is truly designer quality……………Above, I have the JADE ANIMAL PRINT CARDIGAN shown with my WHITE JEANS, but BLACK bottoms will look just as good. Under the sweater is my NEW TANK, sneak peak to follow, in both the JADE and BLACK……………FYI….the JADE and BLACK WK tanks were both done to also coordinate with the new TILE PRINT SKIRTS……PLUS the JADE looks great with the PEACOCK COTTON/SPAN LEGGING!…………..scroll down……………………………….enjoy………………………much Love……………Louis

……………………….The NATURAL ANIMAL PRINT CARDIGAN, A255193, was done for all of my neutral lovers……It looks perfect, as shown above, with my BLACK and DARK SUNTAN pieces…..as in WHISPER KNITS and PANTS………….Worn this way truly makes it season-less…….With pants, Capris, crops, pencil skirts, bohos, my rayon/span maxi skirt….my new DRESSES, and my new COTTON SHORTS….there is no end to the possibilities for how you can wear this cardigan…..For the women who live in the  southern parts of the country this will be your summer through winter combination…….Casual or dressier…..accessorize or not….this is a stand alone…a stand out piece……a good one to add to your collection……………………………………………………..scroll down………………….much Love……………………………..Louis
