“THE BISQUE SPLIT COLLAR SWEATER”
…………In a season of many new Whisper Knit styles…..the SPLIT COLLAR, A390227, is the newest being offered…………..It has an ENR body and sleeve, and it has fully fashioned armholes. The ribbed cuff is approx. 4 inches wide with a 3/8 inch tubular which attaches the cuff to the sleeve [photo bottom left]……..It is the COLLAR however that gives the sweater its’ pizzazz!……..It is 4 1/2 inches high when fully extended, but when it is folded over it has a 1 3/4 inch stand, making the fold over collar approx. 2 1/2 inches……When it folds over it naturally splits open….The sweater is approx. 24 1/2 inches long for the XXS…….This Bisque WK sweater will match perfectly to the WK Big Deal Cardigan, and the WK midi skirt……If you look closely at the photos of the WK skirt [on the top row] you will see I have it on the form backwards with the Tubular and slit in the front….just another way to wear it [you can even wear it with the slit over one leg creating a front and back panel]……..The Split Collar has the look of a turtleneck, but it isn’t quite as high as a classic TN. The split neck gives the look of a WING COLLAR……….It has a very Town & Country look….very sportive, but still very classy……..It is a collar that works under EVERYTHING!….from the a fore mentioned BD Cardigan, the Bisque Riding Jacket, and the Bisque tweed jacket…….It is super chic when mixed with BLACK like the black cardigan and the riding jacket….or GREY, and NAVY. Any black jacket will look stunning with Bisque including your trenches, leather and suede…..real or faux………When you get invited again to a “dressy/ casual” party the embroidered Latte skirt and the sweater is just what dressy/casual means. It is the perfect thing to wear to at home parties with family and friends……and so COMFORTABLE!……As I was playing with different accessories, I perchance saw the FANTASY BLOSSOM NECKLACE in the GLASS GUNMETAL BEADS…..I put it on the form with the new Bisque Tweed V-neck jacket, the Bisque sweater, and the grey Ponte Boot Cut pant…..WOW!……I think is looks INCREDIBLE….just fantastic for when you want to raise the Fashion bar several notches!………….I know you will enjoy this new style very much, and I’m sure you will be reaching for it quite often for years to come……………enjoy………………..much Love…………………….Louis
“THE CARAMEL SPLIT COLLAR SWEATER”
…………………….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!!!…………………………………………

“THE CARAMEL SPLIT COLLAR SWEATER CON’T”
…………………..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
“THE BLACK SPLIT COLLAR SWEATER”
……………….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
