This Crystal watch, J271864 has all well deserved rave reviews….The workmanship is truly superb… I think a beautiful evening watch is one of the hardest things to find….Most are obviously fake…..With this watch you will leave them guessing Three rows of faceted crystals make up the ban while a single row of tiny faceted surround the face. It is avail in the goldtone or silvertone…..both are beauties. This watch coordinates with all of the new pieces that are here [the pin with the crystals and pearl center] and the cross and tapered earring dur soon…..This would certainly make a WOW present…..maybe just for yourself!…………….Happy Holidays………………………….Louis

Personally….I think these are “sleeper” bracelets. The J284044, comes in the SILVER/BLK JET or the GOLD/BLACK JET. These go with many of the Linea Jet necklaces….whether it be the 72 inch faceted bead necklace, J284043, or the fine wire necklace with the floating jet beads, J291535. They also work perfectly with the single Black Jet drop earring J291538. On their own or stacked with the Jet faceted bead stretch bracelet J291536, these would make a terrific addition to anyone’s wardrobe……Mixed  together…they all make a wonderful ensemble……………………………………………………….Happy Holidays…………….Louis

If you own anything or you know someone who owns anything in Aubergine or OLIVE….like the new swing sweater…..these crosses in the Wine and Olive work beautifully….The matching Enamel Station necklaces, J271861 finish the layering look…………………………………Happy Holidays……………Love……..Louis

J296898, the new 5 cross choker with the enamel oval beads, J264036 the double sided cross, J284037 the stone button earring, J264037, the 48 inch station necklace with the gold rim jewels, J267612 the 61 inch station bead necklace all make up the BYZANTINE GROUP…….Any one of these beautiful pieces would make a spectacular Christmas present. Sorry the cuff in the picture didn’t make it this year….maybe next Christmas!……Happy Holidays

………………..I first did this exact size shawl at Anne Klein in 1990. It was first offered in IVORY, BLACK and SCARLET 100% Cashmere Jersey, and they went with both day and night outfits all in columns of color…..Cashmere maxi coats and turtlenecks  worn over short skirts with matching tights and knee high boots. For evening I showed them with floor length Cashmere Jersey dresses…..very covered up long Turtleneck dresses or very bare slips with criss cross string LOW backs….12 different dresses in all walked the runway…..the last 6 in SCARLET……The matching SHAWLS were THE KEY ACCESSORY!……My philosophy of design has not changed over the years………….CLASS is CLASS no matter what the date……..Columns of color are not a fade….It is a way of dressing that does not depend on what is IN or what is OUT…..In my fashion vocabulary there is no such thing as” in” or “out”. If you, as a designer, are going to design something that is going to be OUT in a season or two, then it wasn’t worth designing in the first place. In my vocabulary…..I use words like TIMELESS, SOPHISTICATION, CHIC, CLASS…..Yes, maybe words that you have heard over and over again, but for me they never loose their meaning or power…..It is up to you to decide what “fashion road” you want to take. There are no wrong turns or paths. Everyone is an individual and should decide what their style is. If you so choose to travel along with me down my “fashion path”, I can only promise you that you will always feel well dress, TIMELESS, SOPHISTICATED and CHIC………………………………The OLIVE SHAWL, A259111, continues to be that KEY ACCESSORY! It adds the drama to that COLUMN OF COLOR that I keep talking to you about…..Besides being glamorous….it will be one of the most practical pieces of clothing you may own. Reading and seeing what is going on weather wise around the country…..SIX FEET OF SNOW in the Great Lake areas of NY State gives me a major CHILL…..and it’s not even Thanksgiving yet! Holey Moley….get out your shawls ladies and wrap up….you’re going to need them!…………………Happy Holidays…………………….Louis
