…………………I realized I had never posted pictures of the lace top…..there wasn’t enough time……….Some of you heard me say it on air…………”There is lace……and then there IS LACE!”……..I guarantee you this is a very SPECIAL lace and not one where you will see anything else like it. Many laces that are avail to you now all look like a variation of the same thing, and for the most part they are………This, I will say again, is unique and special…….The size of the patter and the depth of texture is like no other……..This was made for ME, and you will not see anything like it anywhere …..Look at the details of the lace alone. See how the hems of the 3/4 sleeve and bottom of the top are created by the intricate pattern of the lace………….Look at the close up pictures and see the dimension of the lace. It really is exquisite. I am constantly being asked by you to give you something special……here it is………………….The style number of the top is, A302605………….There is also a tank that works perfectly with the lace tops. It is made in a light weight jersey, and has lots of stretch making it super comfortable. It is the perfect underpinning for this lace top and all the sheer clothes you may already own. It is finished beautifully with piped armholes and scoop neckline. This is an essential piece to own, and neither the lace top or tank IMHO should be passed over. Some of you have already received these pieces and the reviews are glowing……The Tank style number is, A304658.
………………………..If you are wondering how you can wear this top…..here are a few ideas….from left to right……..ALL WHITE, with the matching tank and my new white jeans, coming next month….Next, wear the lace with my crop Indigo jeans for a more casual look, coming later in the season……………….next up, wear the white lace with all black. I have used the tank, A304658 and my black Super LITE PONTE CROP PANT, A302601 for the reg, and A302610. The reviews have been great both for the fit and new fabric of the pant. If you think these are just another basic crop pant….you would be wrong. The fabric alone elevates then to a higher level. You do not own anything like these……We aren’t finished there. Take out all your color tanks and use them as accent colors. Then choose your bottom color. Wearing a contrast color really shows the lace off….The Turquoise tank above is coming in May……..I have chosen the CANCUN necklace and earring set, J352562, because I love the look of modern jewelry with very feminine lace…..The contrast of the two is marvelous and shows the imagination of the wearer…………………………………………………..
…………………………………..enjoy…………..much Love…………………Louis
Louis, came across this article by Nina Ivon. She has done a history of Anne Klein, naturally you are included with a picture of the two of you and a recipe from you for: FETTUCINE AL SUGO DI VONGOLE and one from Donna Karan for DEVILED CHICKEN. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did! https://nenasnotes.com/2017/06/16/fashion-flashback-anne-klein-and-the-evolution-of-a-brand/

Dear Somersault,

It continues to proves what we all know,,.that Louis’ clothing is timeless.
Best wishes, Elaine
OMG Louis!!!! I have the black top, and I got the black and white tanks. Gorgeous!!! But the white is sooo beautiful too! I love the look of a colored tank under both the black and the white!
Drew Louis, I am thrilled with these pieces! I originally ordered the linen and navy crops. I loved them so much I then ordered the white and black. Such versatile basics. I absolutely adore the white tank and lace!! Simply stunning. I never thought to pair it with a he Cozumel necklace and earrings. You are so right about giving the lace a little edge . Can’t wait to wear the whole ensemble! I so appreciate your styling tips. I feel like I have a personal stylist with you. Your devotion to your work and the ladies is just wonderful. I know it helps you through these tough times as well..Thank you so much !! Love from Long Isand😊
Ladies, I have several lace and lacy-looking tops from Linea. One is even white (the “Textured Sleeve Knit Top” – A265620) and was part of a two-piece outfit from several years ago. But when Louis stated, “There is lace, and there is LACE,” I listened. If this award-winning designer nudges me to pay attention to something, I listen. If the garment or necklace works for me, I will seriously consider buying it. He has yet to steer me wrong when he directs my attention to something very special, as this lace top (and tank) are.
I listened. I bought. I am delighted with my White lace top and light-as-air tank that goes with it.
Just lovely, Louis! So very feminine and the detail is exquisite! Adore it under the black so you can see how the beautiful detail of the lace. Very romantic on a warm summer evening!
The turquoise tank under the white lace top is so summery! “Easy, breezy”, I believe you would say. And i am very interested in this tank. The neckline, and the shorter length (as well as those lovely waist ribs) will go with a lot of my flowy, summer skirts. So many tops are longer, but sometimes you need something shorter and more fitted with an A line type skirt. Thank you!
Will there be any more short sleeve type whisper knit sweaters this year? My favorite look is the billowy boho skirt with a short sleeve or whisper knit tank on top. i love those two fabrics together.
Unfortunately no, I did sketch them but they weren’t chosen?
Hopefully for next year then! I’ll take another look at the crewneck ones that are available. I wear the elbow sleeve, scoop neck, waist whittling ones all the time in warmer weather and would love to refresh my supply.
