…………………We’re back!!!! 10 beautiful days in Paradise went by so quickly! The weather couldn’t have been better. It was in the 80s everyday with cooling breezes and the most magnificent Aqua water to swim in……………..and the sunsets!……………………….more pictures to come……………………..Have a wonderful 4th of July Holiday…………………much Love………………………….Louis
To all the Linea Ladies dads and husbands……A Happy Father’s Day!
……………………Just when you thought you were finished with summer and you had seen the last ombre color for the season……………SURPRISE……………….SURPRISE!!!!!!!…………………………..
This is one of my newest colors………..CELADON……the tunic style number is A263353……..You can see how one thing influences the other. Did the GREEN PATINA jewelry come first or the print? I can tell you it was the jewelry that inspired the Celadon color for the ombre. There are approx. nine to ten different screens of colors, one overlaying the other, to create the ombre effect. There are subtle taupes, and a variety of greens, starting at the bottom with a deep evergreen color and ending at the top with the palest celadon……….To be completely honest, when I said SURPRISE!, I was surprised to see these new ombre colors scripted in this June show too. They were scheduled to be part of my July TRANSITION show on the 10th. I guess since they were already in and processed…..why hold them almost another month…….I hope you like the three new colors I am offering you plus we are bringing back into inventory the very popular ALABASTER!….If you are wondering what is that beautiful green pant…..it’s new! It’s in the wonderful CREPE GAUZE….It’s a classic pull-on with an elastic top…..It has pockets…..It’s unlined……..It will be avail in Reg. and Petite lengths…….The color is IVY, and it will be avail on my July show!………………………….enjoy………………..much Love…………………………..Louis
……The OMBRE PRINT is back in more glorious colors. A263353 is the style number……………PARROT TULIPS…..come to mind when I look at this printed tunic……Each season, when my catalogs come in with all the fall planting bulbs, I marvel at the beauty of the Parrot Tulips. Their variegated markings and the beautiful colors are the perfect example of Mother Nature in all of her glory………The color is called STRAWBERRY, but like the Parrot Tulips, there are so many beautiful colors, that any one of them would make a beautiful solid top……These prints, because of how complicated and intricate they are, are done in a very special factory outside of China, where they print on their own quality of poly jersey….so if you have noticed a difference in the weight, hand and drape of these tops you are correct……The fabric is then shipped to our factory in China where they are cut and sewn…..This definitely adds to the cost, but the end result is so worth it!…..I know many of you have this top in many colors already, and I know it’s hard to resist these new colors. For me they are pieces of art, and worth collecting. I can tell you that these tops, due to their popularity will probably be reordered……but I will bring them back in new colors….so these existing colors can be considered limited additions…………………………………enjoy……………..much Love……………………….Louis
………………….PLUM…….IRIS…….LAVENDER…….LILAC….GRAPE……..are all the colors represented in this “PLUM” OMBRE TUNIC, A263353………..We all know this was Elizabeth Taylor’s favorite color. Legend has it….it was the color of her eyes…If you don’t think purple is your color, [I can’t think of a good reason why], I strongly suggest you take the leap…..I can promise you will get many compliments……It’s always fun to surprise people who “think” they know you so well, and see you in a color you have never worn before!…….The High/Low hem works particularly well in this tunic because of the print. You can see from the side photos how the deepest colors descend on the body……giving a long and slimming effect. I chose the FROSTED PINK NECKLACE and EARRING set, J321803, because it was PERFECT. The frosted drops actually have a lavender tint which looks marvelous against the purples. The necklace takes the top to another level. Women and men will stare at how seamlessly beautiful it all looks……….This color brings back some childhood memories…..Who made GRAPE KOOLAID ICE CUBES????…..my favorite flavor. My mother used to make them for me, in the old ice trays, and in the summer they were the BEST……As you sucked on them the deep grape color would get paler and paler until it was clear….and then it was gone…….good memories of summer!………………………………………..enjoy……………….much Love…………………………Louis
