………………………LAPIS BLUE………….is a RICH, INCREDIBLE color, created by Mother Earth, and it is truly breathtaking!….. This LAPIS is so rich and SATURATED that it was impossible for me to capture it in the photos, but if you already own a Whisper Knit sweater in the Lapis….you now what I mean. For each of the collages, I wanted to show the COLUMN OF COLOR, so your eye will become accustomed to the “LOOK”. Maybe some of you are dressing this way already….but….in color it’s different than all BLACK. I have been noticing designers such as Gucci, YSL, Valentino, DIOR, Chanel, Dolce & Gabbana, Bottega, Donna Karan and Alexander McQueen, to name a few, all having columns of color appearing here and there on the runway…..some more than others………..showing these columns of color in suits, dresses and separates…..all with tonal hose and shoes…..it just looks right. Should you be dressed like this every day….of course not, but when you want to look especially pulled together……..pull it together with a column of COLOR….you just can’t miss!……The WK sweater above is A237410, the SCOOP NECK PEASANT SWEATER. I have been asked if this is running big, because the bust measurement is larger than normal. THIS is a PEASANT SWEATER with SHIRRING around the neckline and a RAGLAN sleeve, so of course there will be slightly more fabric than a basic sweater and the measurement will be bigger….it should be. The extra drape is what creates the PEASANT LOOK. I would not recommend sizing down….this is as it should be! I think the PEASANT SWEATER is a wonderful change under a jacket, or in this case the LAPIS TOPPER, than always wearing a basic more tailored sweater. There is a little more fantasy and femininity to a peasant type sweater……..It can go casual with jeans, but it can also add the right touch with the new SEQUIN SKIRT…….glam it up with a gold belt….chain or leather…….or as I have shown ….just worn loose over a WONDERFUL pair of LAPIS GABERDINE TROUSERS!!!!!!!coming in OCT………… This is a look that put Halston on the map, and I am happy to bring it back to life…..actually, on the last fall cover of Bergdorf Goodman’s Designer catalog, they showed a GUCCI heavy silk tunic and matching pant all in LAPIS BLUE……..so this is definitely a trend that is happening……………………….enjoy…………….much Love……………………Louis
I just received the Lapis turtle neck and the color is TDF, or as I like to say TO LIVE FOR! It is just as rich as you say Louis, but not loud. Very Deep and Dramatic. Love it! Can’t wait for my other pieces. Thanks, Louis, for your perfectionism!
Dear Cela….it came out perfectly and it really is a fabulous color….it looks great on every one no matter what hair color or complexion you have
Louis,
Is this Boucle jacket coming back this season? Thank God, I was able to purchase the Malachite, but so wanted the blue as well. I know many ladies are disappointed about the small selling out so soon. I was one of the fortunate ones! This is one beautiful topper!!!
No….that’s it for this year.
Hi Louis,
Just saw these outfits on the Q and noticed your jewelry. Where can I purchase the necklace on this lapis outfit?
Dear kristie….check out Linea Jewelry…..it’s a terrible picture. It’s the top row to the left….the last time I looked…but it may have sold out last night.
Dear Kristie…..the long Lapis and gold necklace sold out last night. Go to my QVC Linea Jewelry site and wait list one….you never know….there are always a few returns. The cross is coming.
I bought two of your columns of color: the malachite, and the mallard blue last yr.
I’m short, curvy and veeeery long waisted; they elongate the body.I used to be able to get solid color dresses, but dresses and even skirts disappeared. Christina Hendricks (Joan) in Mad Men wore many plain colored sheath dresses in vivid colors. Wowza! They do show off her curves;forget tailoring, they must sew her into them. She does look thinner in the commercial she does on the show.
Hi Louis,
Are the gaberdine trousers coming in any other colors besides lapis perhaps ruby? Also will they come in petite?
Absolutely love the topper – trying to decide on color(s)
Thanks
Laura
Louis, this is so gorgeous—I can’t even stand it! Why or why does the Q torture us with such limited quantities–it’s every woman for herself!
All beautiful! Louis, I am very interested in those Lapis trousers. I have the tank and cardigan in Lapis. The Topper jacket and that peasant sweater syled with the pants coming, lordy, I think I want the whole suite. I love the Lapis color – just beautiful….
