……………………..RASPBERRY……………………this is a beauty! and will surely be one of the first colors to sell out……You know the color…..just look at your Raspberry WK sweaters. In the winter wear this shirt with your WK Raspberry cardigan…..in the Spring…..wear this shirt open as a SHIRT JACKET with the sleeves rolled and the matching Raspberry WK tank under it! A color for all seasons………Again, the color is so beautiful and saturated that not one picture above does it justice……..I chose the TAUPE SUPER PONTE BOOT CUT PANT, A268216, to put with the Raspberry because I thought it was a good neutral and there was just enough contrast to show the Raspberry to its’ best advantage……Naturally all of your classic bottom colors will  look great…….What is that necklace around her neck???? Another sneak peek………….I call it the MARDI GRAS NECKLACE, J335211 coming at the end of Feb……. but more about that later in the season…………………….

……………………………………….enjoy…………….much Love…………………………Louis

……………………………DARK OLIVE……….was a very highly requested color……….I can tell you all of the new colors came out perfectly and this new Dark Olive is no exception. The color is as saturated as you can possibly get in a cotton fabric. It is truly beautiful. I think it is a great neutral, and looks great with many different color bottoms…..from your classic….white, navy, black, charcoal grey, espresso brown, olive, flax, linen, chino and the new color in the SLIM PANT, ALABASTER, A265615, shown above [coming later this spring], to colors like PORT and WINE coming next fall……….The Dark Olive is also the perfect backdrop for all of your Linea necklaces……including the TURQUOISE/GOLD SEED BEAD necklace, J329589, show above….I think it looks fantastic……You will have women following you asking ” where did you get that”…….that you can be sure of…………………………..enjoy……………….much Love…………………..Louis

……………………………ALABASTER………………..has become a Linea FAVORITE for many of you ladies, and I understand why. It is soft and has a glow that is complexion friendly for most of you. Naturally, it will coordinate with all of the Linea Alabaster items you may already own. I’m not claiming a perfect match considering the different fabrics and mills they come from, but close enough to make you happy. I have chosen the BLACK MOSS CREPE GAUCHO, A273865, to pair with the Alabaster shirt. I see it with beautiful boots in the winter and fabulous sandals, espadrilles or wedges in the spring/summer………………………Around her neck!………………another sneak peek!………..This time the necklace comes from my Anne Klein archives……….It is a LONG necklace made up of BLACK and GOLD WOODEN BEADS combined with metal and resin GOLD and BLACK ball beads of different sizes…….all spaced on a delicate chain………This is a magnificent piece and surely will be a collectors piece……not one to miss…..it’s too special…… I have looked many times on ebay in search of one of these “Anne Klein Couture ” necklaces, but none have ever come up…….I can understand why……..Why would anyone want to part with it?? It will also be avail in BLEACHED WOOD with the GOLD and hints of Black……SUPERB!….I call it THE AZTEC necklace, J335215…..The Black Barrel Earrings are part of the Barrel Bead and Earring set, J329558…………………………………………enjoy…………………much Love……………………………..Louis

……………………………BLACK……..last but not least……….was one of the MOST requested colors for the Kate shirt, and here is the new addition……………….a rich deep dark saturated BLACK……….Winter, Spring, Summer [with white or chino pants] or Fall……nothing compares to a beautiful Black shirt………………..What else is there to say…..It’s a must have……………Above, I have it paired with the Grey Slim Pant, A265615. The whole combination of the black and grey works beautifully with the GUNMETAL and BLACK seed beads and the GOLD accent beads. This necklace will also be returning at the end of April…early May. This necklace, unlike the others, has three colors which sets it apart and makes it very different……incredibly CHIC, and unlike any other seed bead necklace I have seen……………………..WHITE…………..DARK OLIVE…………RASPBERRY………..ALABASTER…………….BLACK……all great colors whether you wear them as classic SHIRTS or open as SHIRT JACKETS in the Spring and Summer…………….I know you will get years of wear……………..enjoy………………..much Love……………………Louis

…………………2017 has arrived and it’s the 6th of January already……so let the Jan. sneak peeks begin………There will be FOUR REORDERS for the month of Jan., two of which are JEWELRY ITEMS……a rarity! The other two are very popular apparel items, which you have all given your color suggestions for…..so I hope you are happy with the new selection……There will also be FOUR NEW apparel items all under the LINEA LEISURE category……..I hear the applause….and the sighs from here. For those of you who are sighing, let me say keep an open mind….you may be surprised as the Linea Leisure category has broadened to encompass items that would have normally been on the Linea Collection Line….i.e. the long Faux Shetland cardigan from fall………There will only be three “classic” Leisure pieces in the months ahead and they are all spring/summer tops.

……………………The first reorder item is the……..TRAPEZE NECKLACE, J331644…………….This is a surprise to me, as I wasn’t even informed that it had been reordered! I did know it had done exceeding well, and there were very very few returns. The wait list was larger then the small amount of returns, so if you were disappointed that you could’t get one or tried to come back for another color, but they were sold out…..you have another chance……………..The colors returning are……the MATTE GOLD [gold tone]……..the SILVER……the LACQUER BLACK………The Trapeze necklace should be avail towards the end of the month……….I do want to warn you………….for the reorders and ALL of the new jewelry pieces that will be coming in the months ahead…..the quantities are LIMITED!……………..Remember how quickly the SEED BEAD NECKLACE SOLD OUT……It even shocked me. Good news…all colors of the Seed Bead Necklace will be back at the end of April, but again very limited quantities. Don’t miss out again!………… For those few of you who know how versatile and special the Trapeze necklace is, with all of the moving parts and the beautiful craftsmanship….you won’t have to wait too long to get the colors you missed. For those of you who don’t know of this necklace, I highly recommend it. It is SPECIAL….it is UNIQUE….it is MODERN…..it is SEASON-LESS. It immediately takes a plain outfit and makes it a fabulous outfit……………….enjoy………………much Love…………….Louis
