Sneak Peek # 4 Is A232345, the WHISPER KNIT TANK. First let me say, this is not your garden variety tank top. This one has STYLE! It is approx 25 1/2 inches long for the xs and has an approx, 11 1/2 inch rib start at the bottom. If you double click the picture it will get larger and if you then click on each picture…. they in turn will get larger still. By doing this you will see more detail. The colors are…………………BLACK……………………….IVORY……………………..TOBACCO……….Many of you have the stretch cotton Capri pant in the Tobacco, which is what is in the photo above. The Tobacco also looks great with black, navy, chino, olive, wine, aubergine, walnut, charcoal grey etc. etc. The tank looks terrific under the new blazer which continues that longer, leaner line. Do not be afraid of the ribs. The are very fine and actually almost disappear……..what they do is give the tank a better fit. In many of the photos above I have shown it with the matching WHISPER KNIT shrug that will be on next months show, and I will give all the details then……so hold your questions…..they will all be answered.. Think how many things these shrugs will work over in your existing wardrobes. Also, it is fun to mix them up…..black over the tobacco and ivory……tobacco over the black and ivory tanks, especially when worn with the ivory trouser. Please don’t ask me why the two pieces were split up into different months…….I have no reasonable answer. I love the two pieces as a set and of course as separates they will all go with so many things that are coming…….A HEADS UP……this tank will get no air time or selling time during the show. It will get what is called a show and mention, which means they will flash a picture of it during the show……do not worry………I will have it on the models when I sell the crepe pant, so all of you can get a good look, but don’t wait too long…….or it will be long gone……..Enjoy……much Love………Louis
Are you going to be offering those long beads shown on the Tobacco tank? I look forward to these tanks and the matching shrugs. I can’t tell you how much I have worn those crop pants in the tobacco, the color looks great with so many things in my closet.
Dear designista…..unfortunately no. I purchased them at Jacques Caranagues Gallery….which is closing for good at the end of Feb.
Louis, Is there any chance that you will be bring us pants (or bringing back the crop pants) in the tobacco color? I was able to get the matching tobacco sateen jacket in the tobacco but missed out on the crops. It’s a great color.

I would also LOVE to get the crop pants in tobacco also.
Dear Jane……there is always a chance, but unlikely in the same color. However, what I can offer you this season is a cropped, LIGHT WEIGHT, cotton span pant in a print, and the background of the print is the exact TOBACCO. The print has a special meaning to me as it is what I call the “RISING PHOENIX BIRD” print.It’s actually an archival print and is very beautiful. I thought it would be fun for a change to have a Capri pant in a fun print. There are black vines in the print so it would look great with the jacket and a black tank. There will also be a matching shirt, that can be worn together or as separate pieces.The fabric is wonderful, because it is so light weight. I know my southern ladies will love this fabric.
This print sounds great. Looking forward to it

Dear Louis,
The Whisper Knit tank and shrug make an enchanting ensemble. Dramatic simplicity at its best.
Louis,
Love the Tobacco colour. Do I see Tobacco pants coming – per your Sneak Peek?
Seka.
I found the answer – on my second read of your Sneak Peek.
