The ANIMAL PRINT CARDIGAN, A251592, will be on FEBRUARY 14th at NOON…..or otherwise known as Q-CHECK…….This presentation will be directly following my 11:00am show. As of now, I will be the SECOND item in the line-up, so you won’t have to wait to long to see it…………….The cardigan is in a COTTON/RAYON BLEND, and is approx 25 1/2 inches long for the XS, and the sleeves are LONG…..if they are too long for you….. simply push the up for a more relaxed attitude……in the words of a Mr. Gun….”make it work people”…….There is a BLACK GROS GRAIN RIBBON on either side of the front, for both colors, as an added detail…..The buttons are the little black gum drop buttons that are on many of my sweaters. I will say it is not easy to button or unbutton the sweater…so….I would recommend you pre-set how you want it buttoned and then pull in over your head…..that’s the way the models do it for their quick changes. I personally like the top two buttons left open and the bottom three left open. I also like the third button from the top buttoned and all the others left unbuttoned, but you will come up with the right combination for you…….What I don’t like is ALL the buttons buttoned….it’s a little up tight looking…..Even if you keep all of the top buttons closed….leave the bottom three open for another option…………………..This is an ENGINEERED PRINT……….which means the entire sweater is printed after it is fully fashioned together……..so everything MATCHES & LINES UP. You will notice that all of the LEOPARD SPOTS are joined together perfectly at the armholes and shoulder seams….there is no break in the design. Each front panel, the back panel and each sleeve are different patterns……………………….The colors of the sweater are……………WHITE/BLACK……………BLUE/ BLACK……………Since I did not do any other sweaters in this particular BLUE, I suggest you either wear a Black or White underpinning…..Of course if you want to wear a contrast color….like SUNSHINE YELLOW…..go right ahead!…………..With the BLACK/WHITE combo, of course Black and White are the obvious options, but you can add a hit of any color you choose. Above I have the NEW CHILI PEPPER, which will be avail later in the season in a few different styles…….Lets talk ANIMAL PRINTS for a brief second…..are they “in” or “out”?……………..They are ALWAYS “IN”!…………This is an anytime anywhere sweater….It can be super casual with the black ponte legging [shown above] or more dressed up with dress trousers and or a pencil skirt…..In the summer….take it along to wear over your tanks and BOHO SKIRTS and Capri pants and leggings…..a pair of black sandals a tote and sunglasses will be all you need…………………………………………enjoy…………………….much Love……………………………………………………………..Louis
Louis, I just received this blue sweater. It is gorgeous!! I love your designs… especially your sweaters! Thank you!
Louis, you’re killing me here, lol – that blue must soon reside in my closet.
Are these the same buttons that are on your navy and coral sweaters from last season A233856? If so, they might have been a bit tight at first, but I have the coral one on now, and the buttons are now easy to button and unbutton. I wouldn’t want anyone to be put off by them. Your suggestions for appealing ways to button were so helpful, BTW! Thank you 🙂
Yes they are the same buttons. I know sometimes I say things that might not help sales, but I feel it’s important to let women know about things like the buttons. There are some women who have a great deal of trouble with their hands and fingers and I want them to know there is a way to overcome the problem by just pre-setting them and then pull in over the head, so they don’t have to worry about buttoning and unbuttoning. I’m glad you aren’t having any problems.
Oh my! You’re very thoughtful! We TRUST you!!!
Love the placement print on this sweater! How does the blue in this sweater compare or coordinate with last year’s ponte skirt in cobalt or the WK in mallard or the WK t-neck in lapis? Just wondering! Thanks!
Totally different colors
FABULOUUS!!!! The shading (ombre design) is in exactly the right place! Louis_= genius.
Every Season you bring me what I WANT! The Black/White will be perfectly paired with RED to transition into Spring/Summer when I’ll mix with the Fiesta Sleeveless Mock Necks (Lime, Nectarine, Pink)…..Thank you LDO – UR the BEST!
I am all OVER this blue (and it will be all over me). Your engineered prints are the best.
Both are lovely … and CHILI PEPPER … OH BOY! Thanks, Louis 🙂

I’ve about worn out my Butterfly cardigans. I know I will wear these two as often as those. Your print cardies are wicked awesome! (Not that I don’t go crazy for your WK cardigans as well.)
OMG! I gotta have both! My sister always says to me “You have more animal print than Zigfreid and Roy!” LOL—she’s right. I’ve always loved it—even when I was a little kid. Thanks, Louis.
