Hi Everyone,
I have my final scripts for the shows, I hope! According to the scripts that I have….here are the new and reorder items…. scheduled for the Oct 13th, 5am and 6pm shows:
1-A217630, is the Long awaited mock neck short sleeved sweater. It is in the Whisper Knit and is the perfect layering piece for under jackets or other sweaters, such as the matching cardigan, classic v-neck and the new v-neck tunic. The colors are: Olive, Aubergine, Mallard Blue and Black…….I think these will go quick
2-A217629, is the classic v-neck sweater, many of you have it already from your wait list and I can tell you the remaining quantities are low. Colors: Black, Aubergine, and the Mallard Blue and Olive are extremely limited.
3-A217983, is the waist whittling cardigan in the acrylic/ wool blend. This is the same yarn as the riding skirt and the pencil skirt, so the colors are exactly the same. Remember this is not the Whisper Knit, so the ribs at the bottom are not as tight. If you want them to come in more…..I suggest on an ironing board to push the ribs closer together and STEAM! This should bring them in a little more. However, for this particular cardigan I like them a little more relaxed…..especially when worn open. It is a very light weight sweater and can easily be worn with nothing under it as a crew neck. I particularly like the black with the Fawn short sleeve crew neck , A3825, and the fawn pant……very chic. The colors: Black, Steel Gray and Cassis
4-A217985, is the v-neck tunic in the acrylic/wool blend. I did this exact sweater for Anne Klein and the only difference is the yarn. The AK sweater was in a fine Merino wool. This is a fully fashioned sweater…..There are no trims on this sweater. The shape, the v neckline and the v side slits are all created by the knitting machine. I have said it before and I will say it again! You could not make this sweater any better!! This sweater fits into everyone’s life style. It is the PERFECT Saturday sweater with jeans…..layered with a white shirt or T-shirt. If you want it a little more dressed up….wear it over the knit riding skirt or pencil….belted or not. I think it is super sexy. I LOVE it under the quilted jacket…..hanging out from the bottom with jeans…..that’s a great weekend look. I want you to know this is a relaxed sweater….it should look easy on the body. This is NOT the classic v-neck sweater, which is shorter. If you are between sizes or you like things closer to the body, than you should size down one size , but… remember, this sweater looks great layer with things under it. Perfect with leggings,….EASY TOP, SLIM BOTTOM. The colors: Black, Steel Gray and Cassis.
5-A218573 is the 8 gored faux suede skirt. It is approx 33 1/2 inches long. Petites, if you found the knit riding skirt too much for you, I don’t think this is the skirt for you…..but don’t worry, in Dec…. I will have another faux suede long skirt that is a straighter faux wrap, and will work better for you. If you are 5′ 4″ and up, it will be fine. This is the perfect boot skirt to be worn with all different kinds of tops, both dressy and casual, from a jean jacket to the new chenille blazer……from a simple turtle neck to my new puckered cowl top from the last show. The colors: Taupe, Purple, Steel Gray.
7-A218572, is the fabulous chenille blazer! Ladies this is FABULOUS!!!! The fabric is totally designer. When the sample first came in my manufacturer said “”it looks like an Armani”. Well, I think it looks like a Dell’Olio, but I know what was meant…..it is stunning. It is called a boyfriend jacket, but, for me, it is simply a classic two button blazer that will NEVER go out of style. Needless to say, it is made perfectly! The details, though subtle, are impeccable. This can be worn very dressy or it is perfect with a sweater or a shirt and jeans. I don’t usually say this, but… you may want more than one color. The colors are, Deep Purple, Gray and Taupe. Because the fabric is yarn dyed and the gray and taupe are mid range colors…..I was able to get a slightly heathered effect…..they are just beautiful . I put this fabric right up there with my best “signature” fabrics.Enjoy!
8-A218569, is the faux charmuese draped top. This is the same fabric as my stand collar shirt from last month [olive, ivory and black]. The draping goes from the side of the neck to the opposite hip and the same on the other side of the neck, creating a surplus wrap effect. There is a built in front tank for modesty, so you can adjust the drapes to work with your body and still be covered. There is a band of multi row elastic in the back to keep the top close to the body and it also creates a sort of bluson effect in the front. I know, it’s hard to picture! I will say this is not a top for everyone….it is a very high fashion top and it is fabulous. The colors are: Purple, Gray, and Taupe. The gray under the gray chenille with black pants…total chic……the taupe with my black knit pencil skirt, gray sheer hose and black jet beads…. has a very 20’s look. The purple with the new purple crushed velvet skirt is……WOW.
9-A218565, is the crushed velvet tunic/jacket. I call it a tunic/jacket because you can wear it as a shirt with nothing under it or over a sweater, shirt or cami. It has a wing collar and buttons down the front. It has seams for shaping and it has IN SEAM POCKETS, SO LOOK FOR THEM!!!! I know someone will think the seam wasn’t sewn properly. The top has a fit and slightly flared shape. The front is lined to hide the pockets but the back and sleeve were left unlined to keep it fluid and light weight. The colors: Black and Purple. The black top looks great with my black pull on velvet pant or pencil skirt as well as black dress pants for a less dressy look. If you want to go more casual, wear the black with black jeans and an ivory turtle neck…..very Bohemian. The purple looks great with my grape velvet pencil skirt from a few seasons back as well as jeans. The purple whisper knit turtleneck due in Dec, or the violet crew neck, avail now, are perfect as layering pieces.
10A219793, is the crushed velvet 6 gored skirt. The colors are the same as the tunic/jacket, Black and Purple. These are great separate skirts, and, again. can be worn day or night, depending on what you put them with. They both look great with the chenille jackets [the black with either the taupe or gray looks fantastic]. A white shirt, a simple sweater or the new lurex top, paired with the skirt. will suit many different occasions and purposes. I know many will ask if the above top and the skirt can be worn together. I think it totally depends on the wearer and how it is worn. Usually, I don’t recommend long over long for many women, but it can work if done correctly. LOOK OUT for a sneak peek with the purple skirt!
11-A218571, is the new suede and knit jacket. The colors are Aubergine and Black…….and yes, despite the way the color may look in the picture, all of the aubergine separates work together. This is a zip front jacket with a shirt collar. It has body seams for a subtle shape that grazes the body. In the seams there are zipper pockets. Now, for the fun part……..the jacket has a 3/4 sleeve length, but hanging from the sleeve is a rib knit sleeve, giving the effect of a sweater coming from inside. It also has rib knit side panels that are in the back only. This gives lots of comfort when moving or driving, plus it gives the “cool” factor. Of course the suede is the same quality I always use, which means it is luxe all the way…..super soft and saturated in color. This is the only new “REAL”suede jacket that I will be offering this season and it’s a beauty. The Aubergine looks great casual, with the blue “KATE” shirt and the aubergine tank over the shirt as a vest…… jeans, sunglasses, boots and a great bag. I also love it with just the aubergine v-neck and the black pencil skirt…..black tights, boots, gloves, sunglasses, my gold chain necklace and bracelet, and a black beret if you are so inclined…..HOT HOT HOT. The black jacket looks beautiful with my red turtleneck and the black riding skirt, black boots and, for some glamor, my gold ball bead necklace….refined ….yes!, but still HOT.
12-A218568, is the sequin, sleeveless cowl top. The sequins are embroidered on the crinkle georgette [same as the Boho]. Sometimes, when you bend over in a cowl top you may reveal more than you intended to…..don’t worry, there is an attached black georgette tank lining which creates a modesty piece just for that purpose…..so you never have to feel self conscious. The colors are Black with Black sequins and Black with Dark Silver sequins. There is such a thing as dark silver and regular silver sequins. For ordering purposes it’s Black/Silver. For me, this is a “go to” top….to be worn under things you already own, such as the perfectly pink jacket with the black tulle, or the black Boho skirt. It will work under a multitude of jackets. For a Holiday party at a friends…. be “casual dressy”, try the top with black jeans or velvet pants and my new black quilted jacket. Another terrific casual look would be pairing it with the black boho and the black Whisper Knit cardigan…….some fabulous boots, some jewels and your done. I’m sure you will be able to think of a zillion ways a piece like this can fit into your wardrobes.
13-A218567, is the lurex, scoop neck long sleeve top. The body of the top is lined for modesty….but not the sleeve. The neckline is piped in self fabric and the sleeve is finished off with an elastic cuff. The story here is ….the beautiful fabric…..pure designer…….it looks like it came from a French mill that specializes in this type of fabric. It is a sheer crinkled georgette….actually it looks like it is crystal pleated very finely…..almost “Fortuny” like. The hem of the garment is finished witb a fine pearl stitch which creates a lettuce hem. There are rows and rows of lurex threads woven vertically throughout. The colors are Black with Silver and Black with Gold ….and…. silver threads to give it an antiqued look. It comes with the optional self tie belt, or you can use your own. Without the belt, the top follows the line of the body, due to the fine pleating, so it is not boxy at all. Wear it with black jeans, the black boho, the new black crushed velvet skirt or the matching lurex skirt. This is a top that I am sure you already have many bottoms you can wear it with.
14-A217982, is the lurex boot length skirt. It is the same fabric as above, in the same colors and lined in the same fabric. It has an elastic waist and is a pull on skirt. It has two tiers. This skirt is slimmer than the boho skirt and has much less fabric, so it should be good for all body types. Again, you can wear it with a turtle neck or v-neck sweater and a suede or quilted jacket….. or go all out and wear it with the matching top for a spectacular two piece dress look. Don’t have the occasion to wear something like this?…….you never know!
15-A87571, is the reorder Leopard print brushed cotton jacket. The new color is Spruce Green. I know some women who have received it think it looks more teal than spruce, and I can understand why. The high light color is definitely more teal than green, but the dark color in the print is definitely Spruce Green, and it does coordinate with the spruce green separates. Actually, I will be showing it with the s. green pencil skirt, a black turtle neck sweater and black accessories. I think the coloration is very beautiful. Of course ,it will also be avail in the gray, denim, aubergine and natural colors.
That is everything that is new or reordered for the shows. On the 5am show, we will be repeating many of the items that were on the now infamous “Hurricane Irene” show . Many of you did not get a chance to see them. If I have not mentioned an item, such as the faux suede jacket with the metallic piping [a picture of that is posted on the Forum] that means that it will be upcoming….AS SOON AS I KNOW, SO WILL ALL OF YOU.
There are many marvelous things on these two shows….really something for everyone. I can proudly say the fabrications are beautiful and the workmanship is unbelievable …at any price. I hope you all find something you like…………………………………..hope to “see” you soon………………much Love, Louis
Sumptuous and super sexy. What a great collection. Thanks LDO.
Be still my heart! The chenille jacket is even more exquisite than I had even imagined! By the way, for all of you very fine Louis ladies who have expressed an interest in this jacket, I’m thrilled to report that it can be ordered now even though it won’t be on until Louis’ 6:00 p.m. show!
AH HA!!!!!!! READ ANOTHER blog about this nonsense that happened with QVC trying to do us all in over a year ago. Since when are people with good taste not young and hip?
I STICK UP FOR THE MAN AND THE CLOTHES ON MY BACK, and that’s LINEA and LOUIS. Today I wrote a letter to QVC asking why they didn’t want to carry more quantity of Louis’s items, esp. those which we all know by NAME like the boho skirt, and they could have made a ton of money from me tonite if Linea things were in stock better. I also explained why Linea was for me. And who and what was not for me.
Further, I told them that someone is going to hurt themselves tripping over something to get to the phone every single time Louis comes on, so why not carry more quantities of Louis in the upcoming items as well. QVC misses out on the money they could make if we could all buy easily, without rushing, what we want, when we want it.
I hope other Louis Ladies will step up once again and tell QVC we need more Louis items. JUST LET HIM MAKE MORE, is that so hard QVC?
Love you Louis and all. xo
Dear Louis, Jaq, and all Louis’s ladies,
Since I can’t wait for the show, and am still changing out my closets and taking inventory of what still fits this crazy, disabled body, now plus size, of mine–I was a world champion athlete not all that long ago.
Yet another time I decided to see if there was anything to order under Linea on QVC, you know, just in case! We wouldn’t want to miss a thing 🙂 You know how that goes. I was going to post WHY OH WHY QVC do you NEVER CARRY ENOUGH OF THE ITEMS IN EVERY SIZE? THINGS SELL OUT SO VERY QUICKLY. THAT IS STILL MY COMPLAINT. I think it’s bizarre of QVC to not keep more Linea in stock since EVERYTHING is an instant classic and favorite and so well known, especially by those of you who have found it to this blog.
While musing over this, I typed in Louis’ name and saw some things are on EBAY. You see I am trying so hard to get something that sold out, just like all of you. Even if it’s worn at this point!
I didn’t think I missed anything Linea but apparently I had. In my search, up popped some blog about how QVC was going to drop Linea and customers prevented this?! Where was I hiding? I am a notorious activist for things like this and cannot believe I knew nothing of it. Blessings upon you ladies who saved Linea on QVC. Especially to the woman who wrote she wasn’t going to buy Issac’s plaid short short skirt or something of the like. What’s this about QVC wanting to cater to younger people? Believe me, I will never think of myself as old or dressing old, not ever! I like quality, something that fits, easy to take care of, the best prints, etc.; and more than that I LOVE LOUIS, the kind man who brings us all the goodies.
Don’t yell at me but I’m a vegan so don’t buy wool, suede, leather, silk, and still I am totally decked out in Louis. I am hard to fit, 5’9″ and now a plus. Being disabled, I have had to cut back, but Louis’s stuff lasts and lasts and I am honored to wear it, and complimented ALWAYS when I do. Other labels on QVC don’t fit me. And they are ugly.
I am going to find you ladies on twitter or facebook or somewhere. Meanwhile, Happy Halloween to our man Louis, and no treats for you QVC. I hope this is settled once and for all. Who wants to join me and tell QVC they must add more quantities of Louis’s pieces. No wonder there’s this blog and the QVC blog. I was dense, but not anymore. Ready to fight for what I want and I want Louis. How much better would everyone look if they wore Louis too? 🙂 Love to you all. xo
Carol, “Friend” Louis on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100001405155395 and we will find you. — Mary Jane
Louis,
Could you please check the number of the velvet skirt? You have the number here as A219793, but on your previous list it was A218566.
Thank You
A218566 is correct…..sorry for the confusion.
Yes Louis!!! I’m ready for the new goodies, and VERY excited. The question is… Which show is the pull-on pant A220049 going to be??? Please let me know.
Dear Alexandra,
The pant in question will be on the Dec. show, but it is not a pull-on pant. It is a side zip, contour waist pant……..regards, Louis
louis
I am so…. looking forward to the show. I wanted to know if the faux suede 8 gore skirt comes in black? I thought i saw that somewhere before, but you only list 3 colors in your post. i missed out on the riding skirt in black, so i was plannin to get the faux suede in black. thanks
OOPS! My mistake…..YES it does come in black!
Just send one of each! What a wonderful collection from which to choose, or not choose and just get it all! I can’t wait to see how you’ve styled the looks. Have a safe trip to PA.
Hi Louis,
Everything sounds wonderful, like always!! Two questions: what are the lengths of the lurex skirt and the crushed velvet skirt? Thanks for giving us the details.
Regards to Jac and the pets,
Chris
The lurex skirt is aprox 33 inches and would look great on petites…..
I realize it’s a lot to comprehend and with 5 to 7 minute sells it’s going to go very quickly…..I hope!
Some of us Little Linea Ladies are asking if the long skirts will work for us under 5’3/4″. Can you tell us the lengths of both skirts?
Dear Chris,
The suede skirt is aprox. 33 1/2 inches. The crushed velvet skirt is aprox. 35 inches. As far as whether they are suitable for you……you are the only one who can answer that. If you are comfortable in long skirts and like the way you look in them…….my answer is yes. If you feel long skirts overwhelm you…..then I would say pass. I will say both are easy to shorten. If I had to say which I think works best for a very petite woman…..I’d say the crushed velvet and this is why. The sweep of the crushed velvet is smaller than the faux suede, and it is very soft and drapey [there is no such word as drapey but I use it anyway]. They are both smooth over the hip area and then flare out. The faux suede has more flare. I don’t want to discourage anyone from trying the skirts…..I just feel you all know from experience what has or hasn’t worked for you. Of course they are both easily altered. The faux suede is unlined [no need for a lining at all, the back of the cloth is silky smooth], and some of the sweep can be taken out. They are both forever skirts and worth the trouble IMHO. I hope I have helped and not confused you more…..regards, Louis
The charmeuse surplice top-what are the sleeves like–or is it sleeveless? Did you say the gray does go with the gray sequin skirt? And the purple with the purple velvet pencil skirt? What an incredible lineup!
crdlb
The sleeves are long and straight and yes it goes great with the gray sequin skirt. The purple charmuse goes with the grape velvet short skirt from a few seasons ago and with the new long crushed velvet boot skirt…….I hope you enjoy!
It does sound very Boardwalk Empire. With long pearls….I can’t wait!
I’m glad you asked, Carol! It’s now on my list!
EXACTLY……a small cloche hat and long pearls.
Whew! I’m out of breath just reading all of this! Totally psyched!
