………………….The fifth and final choice for the ULTIMATE CARDIGAN is…….IVORY………..with GOLD SIGNATURE BUTTONS. The PALE BLUE WING COLLAR SHIRT, A259103 and a pair of jeans or my NAVY LEGGING can become your new casual uniform. For a more dressed look my Ivory crepe pant or my NAVY WK PANT……….FALL…..WINTER…..SPRING……SUMMER………………this Ivory cardigan will work for you. Going away on a Holiday or a cruise to a warm climate……an ivory cardigan works with everything……This is investment dressing at its’ best…………..Whisper Knit in WHITE, or any very pale color can feel thinner than the other colors, even in the ENR construction. White is bleached while the other colors are DYED. When you dye a yarn, especially in darker colors like BLACK, the yarn for lack of a better description….swells and feels fuller….even heavier. Have you ever put, by accident, a sweater into the dryer and when it comes out all shrunken and compact it feels heavier? Well that is similar to what happens to any yarn that is dyed… White or Ivory cashmere sweater always feel lighter than navy or black. The WK yarn is made for 12 gauge machines. All of my WK sweaters, whether jersey stitch or ENR stitch, are made on the same 12 gauge machines. The tension is the only think that can vary VERY SLIGHTLY, but at an infinite amount….or else the machine won’t knit properly. Believe me when I say…..the amount of humidity or lack of humidity in the air can also affect the outcome of the yarn during the dying process…..it’s all very technical stuff…………….after all is said and done………………I believe this is a fantastic new cardigan no matter which color or colors you choose, and I know you will enjoy it for years and years…………………………….much Love…………………………………..Louis

To coordinate and MATCH with you new cardigan….we are bringing back my most successful WK tank, A237404, in all of the colors of the cardigan…………above…………………LINEA NAVY and the new BRICK RED.

…………………………………………….The tank in the …………..HUNTER GREEN, on your left……..and BLACK on your right…………………Ivory will also be available to complete your sweater sets……………………………………

Chanel just showed a slew of PINSTRIPES……..jackets, pants shorts and sweaters…..You’ll have yours before his see the light of day.

It is so good to be home after a whirl wind day at QVC! We woke up Monday mkorning at 2am to be at the Q by 3:30am. Then I had to work with Abby, the stylist assigned for my show. She already had all of my sketches I sent with the models assigned so when I arrived the clothes were lined up for me to check….I added the accessory bags to each outfit…..went through it one more time with Abby, and we were ready to go. Then off to the salon to get my face spray painted…LOL……………Next my meeting with Alberti! We had never met and I had never seen him in action so this was going to be a new experience. He was terrific, and I knew immediately we would have a good time. With Alberti….what you see is what you get. He is the nicest guy…and he know what he is doing! He knew everything about the line and was well aware about the “Linea Body” and “Linea Jewelry”……which was refreshing. The models love him so that was a good sign….a good time was had by all and the show exceeded what we hoped for…..One down…three to go! Next up FEW with Pat and Rachel…..your on…your off…..They are always fun to be with even if it’s in the blink of an eye……..next!…..On to a 1 and 1/2 hour meeting with the buyers to go over Spring 2015 which went very well, and a brief break back to the hotel to change clothes and wash the goop off my face…….Then back to the Q by noon to start all over again………worked with Erika, the stylist for the 2pm show, and again she had it all lined up according to my sketches, so it was quite easy. The accessory bags were put on each out fit ans we discussed special instructions, especially  some quick changes for the models……….back to the salon to get spray painted again!……A quick meeting with Leah and the show was ready to start. The show did exceedingly very well….thanks to all of you! Then I had to run to a 3:00 meeting…..and right on to a 4pm jewelry meeting . I saw the first samples of spring made by the new factory….I think you will be happy……It’s a long way off….so my lips are SEALED!!!!!!!….Next up PM Style…..Salon for a touch up. I was able to spend some time with Bob, as in Mackie, in one of the Green rooms, and we caught up on the Hollywood gossip…..He has great stories, but Joe his assistant, who’s a hoot, has even better ones! It’s always a pleasure to work with Sandra even if it was too brief…………………………………Then I had to pack up the caravan….pack the car, and back to the hotel where, alone, I watched the VOICE and went to bed……..Got up early….got myself a Starbucks,  and drove the three hours home to my three babies who were so happy to see me. Unfortunately, Jac had to leave after the 2Pm show and drove home by herself which I was not too thrilled about. We took two cars down to PA so she could get back for another appointment…………….All in all it was a spectacular day….and everyone was pleased……………I hope you all enjoyed the shows, and were able to order what you wanted. Now, let’s keep our fingers crossed that when you get it you are happy with what you receive!…………………………Don’t forget……I will be on PM Style this coming Monday………Six more ours of driving…..To bad you don’t get the equivalent of frequent flyer miles for driving…..LOL…………………………enjoy…………………and I’m hoping it all works out for you…………….much Love, Louis
