March Sneak Peek #3 is A232517, The MITERED STRIPE SKIRT. The skirt is the same knit fabric, 75% Polyester/25% Cotton, as the V-neck T-shirt top. Again, it is cut on the BIAS and has a MITERED front, The bias cut gives the skirt a wonderful drape and naturally follows the line of the body….NO CLINGING!!!! I left the cover stitch off the skirt because I felt it would be more versatile for mixing and matching with things you already own. It is a PULL-ON skirt, with a full elastic waist, so it is very comfortable, The sweep of the skirt is a little more than a simple A-line, but not too much as to be cumbersome for summer wear. The skirt is approx. 32 inches, and it is an easy alteration for those who may have to hem, but I don’t think too many of you will have to. If you are very short, you will have a new MAXI skirt! The Colors are the same as the T-Shirt……………SUNSHINE YELLOW……INDIGO…………ESPRESSO……………….Only the Sunshine Yellow skirt is lined. Frankly, I didn’t think a lining was necessary, but my buyer thought the yellow should be…. just to be safe……………………Both the V-neck top and the skirt are MACHINE WASHABLE, which makes them ideal for travel. I know many of you already have plans to go to Europe this spring and summer…..I think these pieces would be ideal to take……FASHIONABLE….COMFORTABLE……and….EASY CARE!. You can see in the photos above I have paired the skirt with the matching top, a vintage Linea Espresso tank, a White short sleeve mock neck, the WHITE KATE SHIRT, A214116….the JEAN JACKET…..the PEPLUM JACKET……and a sneak peek of the………….NAVY/IVORY LACE SWEATER…..coming later in season. Also, notice I have accessorizes one photo with the LOVE KNOT NECKLACE!…………it’s been reordered in BOTH LENGTHS….along with the MULTI CROSS NECKLACE and EARRINGS…….HURRAY!!!!….. I don’t have a clue when it will be delivered as it was just reordered….so it will take at least 6 months, but it will be making a return!,,,,,,,,I felt it was important for my women to be able to have stripe clothing, this season, that was not only of the moment, but timeless, and was FLATTERING and something enjoyable to wear…….
………………………………………………………………I hope you enjoy…….much Love…………Louis
Hi Louis. The giant espresso hoops in the upper right-hand pic…are they coming by chance? Loving the espresso stripes.
The giant hoops are vintage Anne Klein and are made of leather. I did an entire group of leather cuffs, bangles and earrings, but they are not coming for Linea as of now, but we are trying to find a factory that can make leather jewelry.
Leather would be cool, but resin would work for me…Thanks!
Stop, Louis, I say! Stop! I haven’t been a fan of stripes or skirts in years. Now, that I see them done RIGHT, I am going for the espresso skirt and perhaps the yellow. I love the way you styled it with the kate shirt, I can see myself already! I am thrilled to hear that the multi cross necklace and earrings will be back later this year. We are traveling to Rome and Florence/Tuscany in mid-September and I will pack everything Linea. Easy wear and care. To paraphrase Ricky Martin, I’m livin’ la vida BROKA! Blessings to you and Jac, Fran
Oh ….how do I love Florence. I have very close friend who live on the hills overlooking Florence. I went there 3 to 4 times a year for 18 years creating the sweaters for my Anne Klein line…I do miss it.
Oh Louis, This is so beautiful, and you are giving us expresso!!!!! Happy to read that I will get a chance to get the necklaces I missed. Thank you, thank you!!!
