……………….Ladies………….this is a new WONDERFUL pant for so many reasons………….First, the FABRIC…….It is the same fabric as the Tiger Lily print duster, and the most recent stripe KIMONO jacket……Need I say more. This is the first bottom I have done in this fabric and it is terrific…It is super LIGHT WEIGHT….As Fall quickly approaches clothes to transition into the season become paramount….It’s not so much about a change in weather, because it can still be extremely hot, but it’s about an attitude change…Summer colors seem out of place, and a darker pallet takes its’ place…..The pant has a wide leg [not extreme, approx. 11 inches for the XXS], and it’s UNLINED so it is light as a FEATHER. It just drapes and flows. In the picture the pant leg looks like it sticks out. That is because I can’t put pants on the form so they are held up by an elastic around the waist. On the body they will drape in and look more streamline. It has an elastic waist band with the center top stitch to prevent twisting, and is a pull-on style….There are POCKETS in this easy flowing languid pant………This pant is PURE COMFORT…..you won’t even know you have them on…….The colors are perfect for spring/summer and perfect for transitioning into FALL……..We all know how horribly hot Aug. Sept and October can be, and you still need clothes that are appropriate for the weather and the season….These will be perfect year round pants for those who live in warm climates like Florida and Southern Cal……..The print was inspired by WOOD BLOCK ARTISAN prints. I have seen prints like this that came from Bali. Tahiti, and Indonesia. It also has an ART DECO vibe……The color above is simply called…..NAVY…….but it is so much more. There are subtle shadings that give the print depth. The blue background has life, but is still muted, so there is nothing loud about the print……..I promise you…..you will love wearing these easy relaxed pants…..A351470 is the style number for the reg. and A351471 for the petite…….I know the great majority of your bottoms are solid….It’s time to add a little balance and spice to your bottom wardrobe….These are easy on the eye so it won’t be such a shock to you solid lovers…………You can wear NAVY, BLACK or white easily with the pant. There are blue tops in your closets that I bet coordinate beautifully too…..If you are game….mix it up with a color!……How do you do that??? Pull it together with your accessories. You will be surprised when you see two articles of clothing you thought would never look good together….all of a sudden look incredible just with the right accessory…….The BLACK SHORT SLEEVE TOP to the right is in Moss Crepe, A353587. I first presented this top with the BIG DEAL floral crop pant. It is a great classic length with a nice scoop neck…For those who always say all I see are tunic take a second look at this…..it is the opposite of a tunic!……A true SLEEPER!…It’s the perfect top to show off jewelry…………..The NEW Moss Crepe top to the left is the same body as the very popular OMBRE PRINT TOP, with a few alterations….This new version has a V neckline and the short sleeve. It provides a nice easy silhouette with its’ slightly flared body and high/low hemline. It will cover any issues you may have and help them to disappear!!. The NAVY top above is…..A351469…………..The IRIS NUGGET NECKLACE and EARRING set, J353997, worked too perfectly not to choose. I have used three nugget necklaces…..You know me….I like jewelry layered…………The new pendant to the right is so new I don’t even have a style number yet, but it should be here by the end of Aug. It originally was inspired by an antique religious INCENSE BURNER . I say religious, because they are a different style then an incense burner you may buy for your home. I had it reproduced for my Anne Klein Couture collection, and now once again I’m having it reproduced for you. The top of the pendant actually slides up on the chain……It is in a SILVER OX finish, and will also come in a BRASS OX finish……….This pendant has no season. It’s an object you can wear with anything…………………………..enjoy………………..much Love……………………….Louis

………………………The second color that will be avail in the print is ESPRESSO……….The close ups show the print well….but….NOT THE COLOR. It looks very washed out. The long photos show the color accurately. It is a rich deep mocha brown ground with Espresso detailing……..Considering how well everything I have done in a deep brown has sold, I can only hope these will be no different……..Once again I want to express how SUPER COMFORTABLE these pants are. For those of you who have received the new DILL and OFF WHITE pull-on on pant, and have rightly said how unbelievably comfortable they are……you are in for a treat! Due to the fact that there is no lining…these pants are even more comfortable….if that’s possible….I do not believe you can wear more comfortable pants than these………………To the left you see the new MOSS CREPE top in the new ESPRESSO. The last top I did in the Chocolate Moss Crepe went in a flash. I can only think this espresso top will have the same fate……The espresso is darker than the dk chocolate of last month…This top will look perfect under a Dk. Brown Leather jacket, or a long cardigan later in the season…..I have chosen three of the KHAKI NUGGET NECKLACES to accessorize the espresso top and print pant…………….To the right is the same top in BLACK, which looks great with the print……..This time I have chosen the CHOCOLATE SCYTHE NECKLACE and EARRING set to accessorize. All the colors of the Scythe are making a return visit….plus one new surprise color!……..I know you will enjoy wearing these pieces now and in the months ahead……………………….much Love…………………………….Louis

………………………….Moss Crepe has become a fan favorite. The body of the Ombre top, after 55,000 tops sold, I can confidently say is also a fan favorite……so why not combine the two? Above is the new incarnation of the fit and flare, high/low silhouette of the ombre top done in the Moss Crepe. There are two changes. The neckline is V’ d and the sleeves are short……..otherwise the body is the same or at least as close as can be considering they are made in two different fabrics……..The color is deep deep BLACK….the style number is A351469………The pant is the new Off White pull-on languid pant, A351460 for the reg. and A351462 for the petite.  This pant has gotten rave reviews, and is now avail in only large sizes in both colors for petites…..If you haven’t given these pants a try I highly recommend them……..The necklace, earring and bracelet [not shown] are pieces from my……CHAIN GANG  collection. The necklace and bracelet are in BLACK, GOLD and OFF WHITE resin links……The earring is in the GOLD and BLACK………..I know this will be one of your go to tops…………………………..enjoy…………………….much Love………………………….Louis

……………………….The ESPRESSO Moss Crepe top…………There has been a run on anything in my collection in all shades of BROWN…………To the left the Espresso top with the new Dark Khaki boot cut pant, A366190………Accessorized with the NEW TWO TIERED CHAIN GANG NECKLACE & Earring in BLACK and CHOCOLATE…………….To the right the Espresso top is paired with the ESPRESSO FLORAL CROP PANT and the new CATHEDRAL NECKLACE & EARRING SET. There are two necklaces….one in the ALMOND and one in the SPICE……………. All New Linea essentials……………………….enjoy……………………..much Love…………………………Louis

…………………………LINEA NAVY…………………a classic and an essential…..I have noticed that other “vendors” are now doing a “very dark navy”. When I first, many years ago, showed this dark navy to the buyers they were all afraid no one could tell the difference between this navy and black on air…..I told them I had always had a huge success with this color and I would make sure the difference was understood… Years later no explanation is need……All I have to say is this is “my” Linea Navy, and everyone knows exactly what the color is…….There are so many ways to wear and layer this top. Cardigans and jackets will all look perfect over this top. Above, the LINEA crop pant, A302601 with the new BRASS OX INCENSE BOTTLE…….and the Brass Ox hoop from the Exotic set of 4…..At the right the navy top over the blue FLORAL CROP PANT, A351474 for the reg, and A352729 for the petite. With that the gold Carnival necklace…..These are tops to enjoy season after season after season……They will never fade or stretch out if treated as they should be…..they will always look fresh and new……………….enjoy……………..much Love…………….Louis
