…………I am INTRODUCING a brand NEW fabric in two new styles…..THE CAP SLEEVE “T”, A254436, and THE PULL-ON DRAPED SKIRT, A254438. If I were to compare this new jersey fabric to anything I’ve already done it would have to be the Feather Jersey, because of the WEIGHT and DRAPE of the fabric. This new knitted fabric is a blend of……..49% RAYON/42% POLY/ 9% SPAN. It has a very smooth, silky LUXURIOUS hand. It is not clingy at all……the PERFECT FABRIC for SPRING and especially for the SUMMER months ahead……………FYI the cap sleeve top is already posted and ready for ordering. I know when you get one you will want ALL of the colors…. The color is called……BLACK…..which may be confusing since it look gray, but if you look at the close up of the fabric you will see it is actually a VERY FINE STRIPE of BLACK & WHITE…..so optically it become a PALE  SILVERY GRAY, but it is really black and white….hence the name…………….I think the top has a very flattering PIPED NECKLINE and the  perfect PIPED CAP SLEEVE……….these will be terrific summer “T” shirts ……perfect to pack, no wrinkles and WASHABLE……perfect TRAVEL PIECES…………….The DRAPED SKIRT has a full elastic waist band with plenty of stretch, but notice in the photos above how flat and smooth it is…..no SHIRRING to add any bulk. It lays flat over the upper hip and then flares to the hem creating wonderful CONES, as they are called in the business. The sweep is luxurious with out being over done. It has beautiful movement when you walk. This skirt is unlined….no need for one……lighter and cooler that way. From the pictures above you can see the many ways I have MIXED & MATCHED these two pieces…..many of the pieces you may already own…………………..FIRST….it makes a marvelous two piece dress…..for all and any occasion…..work….play or an evening out….you will be tempted to dance in this skirt!……..I have the skirt with the BLACK WK V-NECK SWEATER with the 3/4 sleeve [one of my favorites], A251583….I have accessorized this outfit with one of my FAVORITE necklaces….the GLASS 72 INCH FACETED BEAD NECKLACE in the….GREY….the only color left in inventory….to my surprise……The WHITE WK V-NECK SHORT SLEEVE, A233944, and the YELLOW DENIM VEST, A252356, worn over for a splash of summer color a skinny black patent belt [ebay], and my BOLD GOLD HOOP, again the only color still avail……For my KATE SHIRT LOVERS, A214116. This skirt and shirt has a definite 50’s vibe….with the wide black patent belt, black patent ballet flats or sandals…..you can’t be more classic or  modern than that…….The “T” over the IVORY CREPE pant, A253576 or my WHITE JEANS is a very COOL and refreshing way to look……in the evening throw the black CLASSIC cardigan or the OPEN FRONT KIMONO cardigan over all of it…..I just know you are going to fall in love with this wonderful new fabric………………………scroll down……………………………..enjoy……………………much Love…………………………Louis

…………………..The LAPIS BLUE & WHITE fine stripes optically create a wonderful CHAMBRAY BLUE COLOR……………….It is a great “T” to wear under your PRINTED FLORAL  CORAL  CARDIGAN, A233856…say that three times FAST!………….Love the DRAPED Skirt with the WHITE WK SHORT SLEEVE V-NECK, A233944 and the NAVY JEAN VEST, A252356….just for contrast………I keep using the word “COOL” a lot describing these two pieces, but how cool will you be in the matching cap sleeve top and the matching skirt………..VERY!…….You have collected so many Linea pieces to wear with these coordinates it really is countless…….just your NAVY and WHITE jackets and sweater alone will give you numerous ways to wear these two welcome additions to your wardrobes…………I KNOW you will enjoy wearing these………………………..much Love…………………………Louis

If you ever wondered what color you would get if you mixed PURE WHITE  with a TRUE RED……..this is it…..a very pretty STRAWBERRY PINK….but the color name is ………..RED……..Again, the fabric is made up up very fine rows of red and white stripes…..optically creating pink……..Two truly wonderful summer looks are….. the RED BOYFRIEND CARDIGAN, A251578, and the CLEAN WHITE JEANS, A252357, with the cap sleeve RED top, A254436………The SHORT SLEEVE WK RED MOCK NECK, A251584, again paired with the red Boyfriend Cardigan and the RED DRAPED SKIRT.

The BLACK TANK TUNIC, A254439, has arrived and is avail for ordering………..The fabric is my RAYON/SPAN JERSEY which is a beautiful quality jersey. If you own the fabric you know how beautifully it drapes and how smooth it is on the skin. The weight of the jersey is heavier than most, but has all the characteristics of a fine jersey…..this fabric is not thin or flimsy…..it is exactly as it should be IMHO…………The silhouette is similar to the rayon jersey tunic with the cowl neck. I would recommend you buy your normal Linea size, but always check the “click here” measurements…….The bottom of the tunic has an asymmetrical hem which can elongate the body. It’s not too exaggerated , but definitely gives it an edge……………There are countless ways to wear this top….over a WK pencil skirt, A253411, ivory crepe pants, A253576, Capri leggings, A255122 coming in June, long leggings either in my Ponte knit or my cotton/span knit, over white jeans, under the jean vest or jean jacket…..and all kinds of shrugs and crop cardigans……such as my lace emb. cardigan that many of you already own…..All the necklaces are Linea or will be…EXCEPT the spaced longest gold and black wood bead necklace……The shorter round bead necklace with the gold balls and the black matte and shiny ball beads will be coming later this season…..This tunic can work for all lifestyles………casual, dressy, work….you name the occasion and you can wear it. Dress it up or play it down…………………another great travel piece!……I know this is going to be a customer favorite………………………scroll down………………………………………………………enjoy……………………………………much Love…………………………………………….Louis
