…………………….CARAMEL has become one of the KEY Linea colors………Since last fall when I first introduced the Trench, classic TCF blazer, WK TN and super ponte pant, all in Caramel, it has become a customer favorite……Now I’m introducing one of the season’s KEY SWEATERS in the all important color. You can see all of the details of the SPLIT COLLAR sweater in the photos to the left….the collar…..the ribbed cuff and the  fully fashioned armhole………I have styled it above with the matching BD Caramel cardigan, the Leather and Knit zip front jacket, the classic blazer, and the Trench…….Some of these styles are still avail, but in broken sizes……..Caramel is easy to accessorize, and I’ve given you many options from left to right…..the FEZ pendant…..the GYPSY COIN necklace and earring……the 3 STRAND caramel necklace……..and the absolutely stunning COPPER FANTASY BLOSSOM necklace and earring……When you really want to dress to impress!, and on your next skype video…..this is the necklace to wear. These are HANDMADE, and are one of a kind….I guarantee you will be the only one in your town to own it!!!…………………………………………

enjoy the Split Collar sweater in Caramel………………………….much Love………………………Louis

…………………..I think it’s important to know why I consider a color a “KEY COLOR”……….When a color is as versatile as the Caramel is, and works easily in your wardrobe with many things, and coordinates to many of the new Linea pieces…..it becomes a “key” piece……As you can see above…..I have mixed the Caramel Split Collar sweater with many things……both NEW and VINTAGE Linea pieces. I’m sure many of you own some, if not all of the pieces above. Many of you have already made an investment in the Caramel color in certain styles…..This sweater will finish any look you pull together….You must experiment mixing colors!!!! How many of you would think to mix the Caramel with the PLUM! Add the new Arte Moderne pendant in the Plum [coming soon!], and voila…..simple elegance……It’s all about mixing your Fall colors…..it’s a cornucopia of color!………………….enjoy………………,……much Love……………………….Louis

……………….Black……………..How many black sweaters can one person own?!………….For me it’s an infinite number……You can never have enough black sweaters in different styles, and you are always on the search for a new unique one….It’s something you just can’t help…….I think this sweater is just that. Sweaters with interesting collars are not that commonplace. I think you will find this collar to work with so much of what you own…..I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…..BLACK with BISQUE is incredibly CHIC…..It hearkens back to the 20’s and 30″s…..to the Art Deco era….to the Golden Age of Holiday when actresses wore bias cut gowns in this lingerie color, and Bisque cashmere wrap coats over all black were very movie star……….Black with Bisque almost rivals Black and Ivory or White…..almost…..If you want to look absolutely drop dead, and I mean that in the best way, wear the Black split neck sweater with the IVORY BIG DEAL TOPPER and the slim faux black suede pant [coming back in Dec.]…..Really can you look any better, or more glamorous …..This is called “dress to impress” I have used TWO of the Twisted Gold Bugle beaded necklaces for a BOLD GOLD look………If you want a fun way, a different way to dress up for the Holidays….the Black sweater and one of the 4 embroidered skirts. In case your wondering what is the 4th emb. skirt…..I’m counting the shorter Wild Flower multi color tulle skirt. Add some suede boots and a fun jacket or cardigan…This sweater with the silver emb. skirt, and the silver TWISTED SISTER NECKLACE is just gorgeous….and so EASY!…..There is something so irreverent about putting this sporty sweater with SEQUIN PANTS, but that’s what gives it an edgy look, and makes it fabulous!!! It takes a certain woman with tons of confidence to pair these two pieces together…I can tell you with certainty….that you will be the most MODERN woman in the room…….I certainly don’t have to tell you how, what, where or when to wear this sweater…………………..wear it with everything, anytime, anywhere!!!…………..enjoy………..much Love……….Louis

The new Whisper Knit Turtlenecks are now available! They come in Black, Scarlet Red, Pine, and Ivory. https://www.facebook.com/louis.dellolio/videos/3520818214641649

…………………The new WHISPER KNIT TN, A385150, is the replacement for the original……They are the same, and they are different. They are the same in that they are both in the JERSEY STITCH, which is the lightest weight in the WK. The TN has the same rib, height and fit…….The differences are….the new version is one inch longer. The original had fine rib starts which made it sportier IMO. The new version has TUBULAR TRIMS at the hems of the sleeves and the body of the sweater. This keeps the sweater fitting flatter over the hips. I also find the new version slightly shaped and not as straight as the original………SCARLET RED is, for me the perfect primary red color….it’s pure. It’s neither blue nor orange….it’s pigment red. It’s a red you can wear all year long….It is a match to your TCF Blazer pictured at upper right with the COMPASS necklace…..It’s perfect with the Red/Navy Tartan Blazer, and it’s perfect with the new BIG DEAL TOPPER…..all shown with the new COUTURE NECKLACES….and the IMPERIAL BROOCH/NECKLACE…….This new Turtle Neck is a true ESSENTIAL…..Since the original TN was in such demand, I’m sure this will sell quickly…….It’s an instant CLASSIC!…………………..enjoy…………………..much Love……………………..Louis
