……………………….The Oct 08 group of clothing brought the coming Holidays to mind……Starting at the bottom left the Stretch Gaberdine Blazer. It had four patch pockets with bands of black flat sequins on Ivory and Black.It had three beautiful black jet faceted buttons down the front and one on each sleeve……The Black cardigan was in Rayon/nylon [WK]. It was a ribbed sweater and every other row had sequins in the rib, and it was emb. all over, front, back and sleeves.The next two pieces were wonderful as a two piece dress, and on their own as fabulous separates. The short sleeve wide V-neck sweater had a band of sequins on the V, and a panel of sequins down the front. The pull-on skirt had sequins all over. It looked fabulous with the blazer and the cardigan…..The next sweater was a direct reproduction from one I did at AK which Jac still wore. The AK top was in a cashmere/lycra jersey fabric. The one for QVC was a cashmere/silk/lycra sweater. The collar was very versatile and could be styled many ways….off the shoulders, off one shoulder, worn up on both shoulders or pitched forward like a luxurious cowl……….The jacket at the upper left was made in a marvelous fabric. The look was that of an antique silk woven with a metallic thread., and it was stretch….It looked like a fabric you would see in Florence, Italy. It was a swing jacket with raglan sleeves. The center of the sleeve from the stand collar had a deep stitched down invert pleat that was released just below what would have been the cap of the sleeve. This gave the sleeve a beautiful poetic fullness that was held by a two inch cuff. There were slanted band pockets in the front that lined up with the A-Line swing. The back had a V yoke and an invert pleat that added to the sweep of the jacket………….The last blouse was in georgette in RED and IVORY. This was inspired by a blouse that Valentino, the master Italian designer had given to Jac as a gift when she worked for him creating the looks for his show. Hers was in Valentino RED. My blouse for QVC didn’t have the volume or billowiness or the amount of ruffles that Jac’s blouse had, but the size and type of ruffles was the same. It was a beautiful dress blouse and wonderful with the sequin pant, but it would have looked just s beautiful with jeans and high heel sandals.
Don’t know how that happened.
