…………………………THREE NEW PIECES IN CREPE GAUZE!…………..The OPEN FRONT CARDIGAN, A293748………..The TANK TUNIC, A293753……………..and the PULL-ON PANT, which is being offered in Reg. length, A293755, and petite length, A293756……………..I can’t think of a better fabric to take you from SUMMER right into FALL…………..The Open Front Cardigan is made beautifully…………..The front is piped for a clean “Designer” finish. The silhouette is a gentle SWING, which gives the fabric a fluidity and flow. There are generous side slits that enable you to use the pant pockets with ease. The cardigan is also UNLINED, and beautifully finished on the inside, which also enables the cardigan to move as you walk. It has an asymmetrical hemline, not extreme, but keeps the eye moving vertical instead of horizontal……an elongating effect………….The Tank also is made beautifully. The neckline and armhole have a delicate narrow piping. There are also generous side slits in the tunic…….It is approx 27 inches long for the xxs. The fit is easy similar to the tank with the georgette border…….so whatever size you chose for that would definitely work for this………………..The Cardigan and Tunic Tank are both in…………………DESERT SAND……………….The Pull-on UNLINED pant in the Crepe Gauze is in the………..DARK SAND…….I chose these NEUTRAL colors to give you a tonal look. It also gives you a column of color without being matched……The pant has a classic silhouette…..not wide….not narrow…..a width that should work for most……It has an approx 8 inch bottom opening for the xs……………The top has a full elastic with a flat front so there isn’t any unneeded shirring over the tummy. The trouser pocket gives the languid look of a beautifully draped pant………………The LOOK is pure “Designer”……with the joy of maximum COMFORT!………………For accessories I have chosen my new ETRUSCAN pieces……all in RUSSIAN GOLD…….Russian Gold is NOT a SHINEY 12 carat gold look!!!!! It has the look of 24 carat, and it looks like gold from ancient times……..very ethnic………The 72 inch necklace has a 3 inch extender so you can double, triple and quadruple the necklace for many different looks. The bead itself was inspired from ancient cultures, and you can find similar beads at the gift shop at the Metropolitan  Museum of Art in NYC……however they will not be this length and the WILL BE five times the price. As a bonus the bead and drop earring is sold WITH the necklace. For some it may be too long, but it is easily shortened to what ever length you desire. As part of the group there is also a four row stretch bracelet, but it is a very loose fit so it should drape onto the hand……………You would never know it’s a stretch bracelet!……………….The second NEW FISH being offered is the RUSSIAN GOLD pendant…….One eye is a pale Amethyst [as shown], and the reverse side has a tonal eye, so you can wear it with anything…………….For those of you who are looking for something a little more unique, I am sure you will love these pieces in the Russian Gold………………..all of this will be on my Aug. QVC2 jewelry show………………………..enjoy…………………..much Love………………….Louis

………………………….CELADON…….is a very illusive color…………..Celadon glazes were used in China centuries ago, and the pottery and vases, that still exist, are extremely expensive. They can still be found in venues like Sotheby’s. You can also see magnificent examples of Celadon pieces in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. If you google “Celadon” you will see the variations of this color……….Some have a tint of yellow, and some look more in the Aqua family as the color I have chosen……all are beautiful…………..I chose…….IVY…..as the pant color, and I think the combination exhibits a unique flare for the woman wearing it…a sense of individuality. Of course there are many other colors that can be worn with Celadon…..such as the Dark Sand crepe gauze pant or the Black……..Remember, I also showed the Ivy pant with the Celadon Ombre tunic……………..I chose to accessorize the outfit with the Green Patina Etruscan necklace, earring, bracelet [not shown],   and fish. As with the glazes, no two pieces in the Green Patina are exactly alike……that is the nature of this plating…..It is very artisan…… I also added the Russian Gold Etruscan necklace, because I love the combination! The two colors work off each other beautifully……………….You all know how wonderful this fabric feels on the body…..It really is weight-less, and so comfortable………………..enjoy………………….much Love………………Louis

…….BLACK GAUZE……What more is there to say………Each piece an essential….Each piece to be mixed with the other gauze colors, and so much more of what you already own……I accessorized the Black Gauze with the ………..COPPER OX ETRUSCAN jewelry………………………..enjoy……..much Love………..Louis

………………A293757 is the style number of this new V-neck “India” print tunic…….The body is easy and comfortable…It is approx. 28 inches long for the xxs……The sleeves are long………The neckline has a piped V, and there are side slits…..The fabric is a very light weight, fluid, almost a gossamer faux crepe de Chine…………….but the magic here is the PRINT……….It’s called “Fuchsia”, but there are many many colors……Orange, Turquoise, Aqua, Navy, Green, Ice Blue etc. etc………………The inspiration for the print comes from the many patterns I have seen coming from India……This is an ENGINEERED PLACEMENT PRINT……That means the design and placement of the print was created for this specific top. There is a center pattern so the blouse is always cut with this design going down the center front on ALL sizes……This is a more expensive way to print, cut and manufacture garments…….I consider this a year round top……..Summertime fun with white, chino or a fun color Capri bottom…..This top will go right into fall and winter with jeans and a long cardigan………….I have accessorized the top with my MARDI GRAS necklace……which I am happy to report has been reordered and will be avail. around the Holidays!…………………..enjoy………………..much Love…………………….Louis

……………………….The NAVY…………..”INDIA” print is for my blue lovers. It is definitely more tonal in feeling then the other choices, and has the same slimming effect on the body. A Navy bottom will be all you need to complete the look….whether they are dress trousers A273303 as above, or jeans for a more casual look……….HOWEVER, the new IVY GAUZE CREPE PANT, that I showed with the Celadon Ombre tunic, works beautifully. I have accessorized with the GREEN HOWLITE PENDANT, J333066, which accentuates the green in the print……………………enjoy…………much Love……………….Louis
