……………….Ladies………….this is a new WONDERFUL pant for so many reasons………….First, the FABRIC…….It is the same fabric as the Tiger Lily print duster, and the most recent stripe KIMONO jacket……Need I say more. This is the first bottom I have done in this fabric and it is terrific…It is super LIGHT WEIGHT….As Fall quickly approaches clothes to transition into the season become paramount….It’s not so much about a change in weather, because it can still be extremely hot, but it’s about an attitude change…Summer colors seem out of place, and a darker pallet takes its’ place…..The pant has a wide leg [not extreme, approx. 11 inches for the XXS], and it’s UNLINED so it is light as a FEATHER. It just drapes and flows. In the picture the pant leg looks like it sticks out. That is because I can’t put pants on the form so they are held up by an elastic around the waist. On the body they will drape in and look more streamline. It has an elastic waist band with the center top stitch to prevent twisting, and is a pull-on style….There are POCKETS in this easy flowing languid pant………This pant is PURE COMFORT…..you won’t even know you have them on…….The colors are perfect for spring/summer and perfect for transitioning into FALL……..We all know how horribly hot Aug. Sept and October can be, and you still need clothes that are appropriate for the weather and the season….These will be perfect year round pants for those who live in warm climates like Florida and Southern Cal……..The print was inspired by WOOD BLOCK ARTISAN prints. I have seen prints like this that came from Bali. Tahiti, and Indonesia. It also has an ART DECO vibe……The color above is simply called…..NAVY…….but it is so much more. There are subtle shadings that give the print depth. The blue background has life, but is still muted, so there is nothing loud about the print……..I promise you…..you will love wearing these easy relaxed pants…..A351470 is the style number for the reg. and A351471 for the petite…….I know the great majority of your bottoms are solid….It’s time to add a little balance and spice to your bottom wardrobe….These are easy on the eye so it won’t be such a shock to you solid lovers…………You can wear NAVY, BLACK or white easily with the pant. There are blue tops in your closets that I bet coordinate beautifully too…..If you are game….mix it up with a color!……How do you do that??? Pull it together with your accessories. You will be surprised when you see two articles of clothing you thought would never look good together….all of a sudden look incredible just with the right accessory…….The BLACK SHORT SLEEVE TOP to the right is in Moss Crepe, A353587. I first presented this top with the BIG DEAL floral crop pant. It is a great classic length with a nice scoop neck…For those who always say all I see are tunic take a second look at this…..it is the opposite of a tunic!……A true SLEEPER!…It’s the perfect top to show off jewelry…………..The NEW Moss Crepe top to the left is the same body as the very popular OMBRE PRINT TOP, with a few alterations….This new version has a V neckline and the short sleeve. It provides a nice easy silhouette with its’ slightly flared body and high/low hemline. It will cover any issues you may have and help them to disappear!!. The NAVY top above is…..A351469…………..The IRIS NUGGET NECKLACE and EARRING set, J353997, worked too perfectly not to choose. I have used three nugget necklaces…..You know me….I like jewelry layered…………The new pendant to the right is so new I don’t even have a style number yet, but it should be here by the end of Aug. It originally was inspired by an antique religious INCENSE BURNER . I say religious, because they are a different style then an incense burner you may buy for your home. I had it reproduced for my Anne Klein Couture collection, and now once again I’m having it reproduced for you. The top of the pendant actually slides up on the chain……It is in a SILVER OX finish, and will also come in a BRASS OX finish……….This pendant has no season. It’s an object you can wear with anything…………………………..enjoy………………..much Love……………………….Louis
Dear Louis- I am a silent fan of your wonderful designs for clothing and jewelry. I have a question about the new Incense Bottle necklace- can the chain be doubled thru the bale of the incense bottle pendant part or do the metal name tag and clasp prevent this? Thank you very much. “Tarheel Girl”
Dear Dixie….welcome….there isn’t any bale. The photo shows it at its’ longest length. If you measure with a tape measure from the center back of your neck and come around and down to the center of your body the way the bottle would hang it is approx 19 1/2 inches to the bottom of the bottle at its’ shortest length.
Hi, Louis. Is there black in the Navy woodcut print, or is it just shades of Navy and blue? I couldn’t tell from the photo. Thanks.
Dear Shelia…..there is no actual black, but some areas the navy is so dark that you can easily wear black with it as I illustrated in the sneak peek with the SS scoop neck short top.
LOVE these new wider leg pants in that beautiful fabric! I’m not a print lover, but I do love your prints, Louis.
Grace these pants are soooo comfortable you won’t want to take them off. You may just lounge around the house in them. The print is dark so it’s not an in your face type of print…..perfect for transition….or any time of year
