……………………..What was chosen for the March 09 Designer Event was a three piece outfit in FAUX SILK SHANTUNG……You could absolutely not tell the difference from real silk….It came in two colors, Champagne and Aqua…….The jacket was a pseudo Safari Jacket. It had four patch pockets with real pearl buttoned flaps. The bottom patches had invert center pleats, and they were side entry….The silhouette was A-line, and it had 3/4 sleeves. The seaming was on a diagonal to follow the line of the jacket. The open neckline was special. It was framed in a separate band that had a space at the closure……To coordinate there was also a shell and a pair of pants with back seams for shape to prevent bagginess.
The safari suit is my all-time favorite! I have it in Blue and beige. I wear them ALL the time. They are timeless and elegant and great for travel!
Louis, I found this beautiful jacket and shell in aqua last year, never worn, for under $10. You can imagine how lucky I felt!
Every single piece is as relevant today as it was in 2009 and I wish I had bought one of each. This is why its impossible to get rid of any Linea, its as timeless as class and style. Thank you Louis for taking us through your archives. Not only is it delightful to look at all the beautiful clothes it takes us back to what was going on in our lives during each of these collections. You are truly one of a kind and have been a vital and wonderful part of our lives. What fools the “powers” of QVC are.
