………………..One of the important layering pieces I created for my Spring 1992 collection was the “Essential Lace Tank Bodysuit”……..I could have just made a tank top in the lace, but it would never have had the look or fit I wanted. This lace body suit had a smooth matching color jersey snap bottom…..which kept it smooth under all clothes. The tautness of stretching the lace across the body prevented it from rising up, or popping out of waistbands, and always looked clean…..I showed it many ways…..with jeans on Yasmeen at the upper top photo……in Pink with the matching pink jacket and pleated skirt on Ludmila, and again on Yasmeen worn in pink with my pink and black buttonless “WAVE ” jacket…….The lace added texture, and was so much more interesting and fun to wear rather than a basic solid tank top.

…………………..The Essential Stretch Lace Tank Bodysuit worked just as well with a denim suit, as the one at the right on Christy, and jeans on Yasmeen…..as it did with a dressier tweed suit on Daniella at the extreme left……definitely an essential!

…………………PINK DENIM…….on the left…..worn by the outrageously beautiful DANIELLA…….She moved to Florida from Italy with her husband, and She has lived in Florida for years with her family. She sells upscale real estate…..She is wearing the 3/4 length pink denim jacket over a pink denim zip front dress…….On the right the SUPER MODEL….YASMEEN….wearing a button front denim jacket with a white cotton shirt, a pink T shirt and a white denim short skirt………”PRETTY IN PINK”

………………..The PERFECT LIME………..On the left, on Ludmila, is the Lime silk BIG SHIRT tied at the waist, and worn over a white T shirt and a Lime Denim short skirt……At the top center the Lime zip front denim dress……and on the extreme right….Christy is wearing a Lime denim jacket with custom GOLD BUTTONS…….and a white shirt over a Lime cotton T shirt. White slim jeans finishes the outfit…………..LIME………….TART & TANGY.

………………..The Pink, Lime, & Apricot Leather….mixed with Denim, and Boucle….These colors came from the tweeds I developed in France, and I had the solid colors dyed in a variety of fabrics…..LEATHER…..STRETCH DENIM…..WOOL CREPE….SOLID BOUCLE……SILK…and KNIT WEAR……..From left to right…..The Pink leather 3/4 zip front, jewel neck jacket worn with a pink leather zip front weskit, and a pink boucle skirt……A Lime leather zip front , short fitted jacket with the Lime leather weskit….worn over a white T shirt and a white DENIM SKIRT………The Apricot short leather zip front jacket with the Apricot leather weskit, white T shirt…all with Apricot denim jeans…..All of the elements could be dressed up or worn for casual suiting…covering everyone’s lifestyle.
