The second choice is…………BLACK, and I do happen to love the BLACK with SILVER……….cool and elegant…………Wide leg ivory pants, leggings, Capris…..or a pencil skirt are great choices to give this blouse a completely different look………………………………………………………enjoy………………..much Love……………………………..Louis
…………………………………LAGOON…………………….is the third choice for the BOHO blouse……an island color………………..soft…tranquil….and simply pretty………………….enjoy………………..much Love……………Louis
**********************FUCHSIA………………..PEACOCK………………FLAME………………….are the color names of this amazing print…………………worthy of framing…A263353…….Tie Dye….Dip Dye and Ombres are one of the major print trends of the season…..but they have all been done before…..so….. the challenge for any designer is how to make them……FRESH and NEW………Dip dyes have been done many many times at all price levels. At the high end designers as diverse as Prada and Oscar de la Renta come to mind. The simplest and most common way is to dip one end of the fabric. A more complicated way is to have three very different colors…one at the top….one at the bottom, and one in the middle…..not an easy feat, but Prada and Oscar did it………..What I have chosen to do is something quite different, because this is a SCREEN PRINT using many different colors. The effect I wanted to achieve was the look you get when you soak a large piece of water color paper and add different color dyes at the top, bottom and center, and have the paper tilt back and forth until the colors run into one another. Believe me when I say that it’s easier to achieve the “look” using this method than PRINTING it. To get the gradations of color is much easier on a wet piece of paper than a dry piece of cloth. The screens and the colors have to be perfect to get the best result……………I am very pleased with the way this WATER COLOR OMBRE PRINT came out…..I hope you agree…………………enjoy……………….much Love…………………….Louis
The prints we wear are as personal to us as the food we chose to eat or the furniture we choose to surround ourselves with. Yes, it may be only clothes, but it’s the clothes we choose to wear that express who we are. So….what does this print say?…………For me it’s about a strong individual….someone with a unique taste level who isn’t conventional…….definitely someone who has their own strong opinions, and knows what is for them and what isn’t….someone who is open to new experiences and not set in their ways…..a risk taker………..I call this my WATER COLOR PRINT……A263353 is the style number…… If you have ever taken a very wet piece of paper and put dyes at each end and then let them run into one another……what you get is always unique….always a surprise…..nothing that can be repeated exactly as you did it before. That is what I tried to achieve with this print. A print that by the process of printing is very controlled, but looks totally SPONTANEOUS….the look of “one of a kind”…. Once again, I have chosen to print on my poly/span jersey…..not only for its’ practically, but because I knew I could achieve the desired effect, and depth of color I was looking for…………………….The body is similar, but not exactly the same as my Ombre Medallion print. The sleeves are 3/4 length and it has a ballet neckline. I chose to use a high /low hem, because I felt it showed the print to its’ best effect….with the deepest colors trailing in the back. The front length is approx. 27 inches for xxs, and is approx 3 1/2 inches longer in the back……………………The color above is called…….FUCHSIA……It starts at the top with a bright fuchsia and ends in a deep eggplant with all the various shades in between…..It was inspired by the flowers I have seen all over the Caribbean. This is a very happy joyous print……… I hope you enjoy wearing it…………..much Love……………Louis
……………………………COOL WATERS………..is what comes to mind when I look at this print……water I would love to jump into. I would venture a guess that BLUES are probably the most popular colors for most people. There is something calming and relaxing about the color blue……………………..In this top the blues range from South Sea Island blue at the top, green blues to the deepest Navy at the bottom……with all shades of Peacock in between. Above, I have it shown with both my White and Navy Linea Leisure pants. If you bought the hammered link necklace in Gunmetal, shown above before it sold out, it just happens to be the perfect touch. I am a true believer that accessories should be an impulse buy…..you see it…….you like it ……..you buy it. You may not know at the time what you will wear it with, but eventually you will find just the right outfit, and you will be so glad you have it. There is a wonderful feeling of accomplishment when putting everything together…..piece by piece…..to create just what you were trying to achieve…….Sometimes it’s a great surprise!
