………………………….Cotton jersey knit was a fabric I always loved to use, but at the designer level I had to be careful because there was a lot of competition with cotton knit fabrics at lower price points ….so the quality had to be very special. There are all grades of cotton. Long staple cotton is the best. Italy imported a lot of the raw cotton yarn from Egypt where the best yarn came from…..There is also a great deal of difference between COTTON JERSEY and COTTON INTERLOCK which is the more common cotton knit fabric……I always used cotton jersey from Italy which was a superb fabric……The open front cardigan, the V-neck slip top…..the “Boyfriend Blazer” and the TN sleeveless dress were all in cotton jersey knit…..The backless halter dress in the cotton jersey had a convertible cowl/hood. Any of the jackets worked over this dress…..The trousers were linen……….There were two sizes of Fish that I used for the “School of Fish” belts. The larger fish was used for a single row belt, and the smaller fish was used for a double row belt………….There were many “special orders” taken on all of the belts! They sold like HOT CAKES…….expensive hot cakes!
Gorgeous and timeless, Louis. Absolutely gorgeous!
Classic and elegant.
Wow! You did some superlative work here, didn’t you? Not that we are surprised, but seeing this sort of masterful designing is so refreshing.
Not that I look that often (I channel-surf and look for a bit if QVC has a “designer’s” work on sale). Well, I’ve noticed some obvious and horribly carried out steals from your fabric designs. Really. It is so ridiculous the way they think we might follow this “replacement designer.” There is no replacing you.
Of course in lesser creative hands, the garment shown is dreadful. If there is a pitfall, they find it.
😍😍😍
Your designs are so timeless!
Agreed!!!
