………………..After the “Designer Gallery” show was over I was scheduled for another full hour show in Feb……For many the gallery show was the only presentation they would be scheduled for, but I was lucky to get a second go……..Starting at the top is a suede jackets with borders of metal grommets and studs. It came in turquoise, lime and pink…..There are two swatches of grommet designs I was to pick from …..I think we went with the circle grommets……Next to that was a boucle suit with gold buttons I believe it came in the Linea Navy and Ivory….below the suit is a cotton shirt that had small flat gold buttons, and gold flat heat processed studs on the sleeves…..the flat studs graduated to nothing as they went up the sleeve…..It was a fun spring/summer shirt with just a little glitz!……to the left is a short sleeve ribbed sweater with gold lurex trim to coordinate with the suede jacket and the suit…..The gored skirt was made in georgette with a fine gold lurex stripe. There were tiny ruffles set into the gores as the sketch illustrates. It was in the ivory lime and pink…..It was definitely a girly skirt, but not too much……The last sketch is a cardigan with tonal pearl emb. in pink, turquoise and lime. The emb. was all over with a little more concentration around the neckline. It had matching round pearl buttons. This was all hand emb.
Louis, I LOVE the sweater with the pearls! I want the turquoise! And the girly skirt too.
I love the WK sweaters in lilac and black with the pearls on the sleeves and will treasure those, but goodness I love so much of your past designs.
I am so enjoying seeing all of your past collections. I especially love this one. I want that lime skirt! LOL
While I have more than enough clothes, I may have to take a look at eBay and see if I can find some of these past treasures that I missed out on.
I have that lurex trimmed sweater in both coral and ivory. I have that ivory boucle suit, and I have it in navy, too. So confirmation that it did come in that color. Until recently, I had the white cotton jacket with the gold grommets. Nothing Linea ever wears out, so there are hard choices to make in the closet every season. One can only wear so many things! Now that I know there will be nothing new going forward, the Linea collection I have now is what I’ll have to live with.
