………………The LOTUS PRINT was printed on a DOUBLE GEORGETTE making it slightly sheer, but not necessitating a lining of any sort. I did this print originally for Anne Klein, as seen above in the lower center photos, from my AK Look Book, It was developed for me by ETRO on silk double Georgette……The Linea version was also in a double georgette, but this time on a beautiful polyester…..I know polyester to this day still has a bad reputation, but it has come a long way, and constantly shows up on designer collections in one way or another….The edges of both the cardigan and the tank were bound in black. The front of the cardigan was longer, and came to points so it was easy to tie……It came in two color combinations………BAMBOO/BLACK….and BLUSH/BLACK…..It could be worn with the Hopsack trouser…….That season I did Champagne and Blush pearls that everyone loved……and I’m sure still have!

………………….I always loved “cobweb” kind of knits, but you must find the right yarn and the right machinery to accomplish this…….not all sweater factories are equipped.. This open front cardigan had a swing body and a draped neckline…….The bottom of the sweater and sleeves were finished right off of the machine and were without hems. It made the sweaters light and airy…..The colors were…..BLACK…….IVORY…..and THYME.

………………………IVORY and THYME were two of the three colors this cobweb cardigan came in….It was light, airy and the perfect summer cover up……CLICK TO NEXT PAGE FOR MORE PHOTOS

………………..Mixed with a Tobacco WK tank and Tobacco cotton pants…..and the Linea TORTOISE JEWELRY….the Black Cobweb sweater made it all a winning combination.

………………This summer the flowers are growing exceedingly well…..They are just spilling over the terracotta pots…..I have to keep separating the pots to give them room to grow!
