………………..The STAINED GLASS WINDOW PRINT, A255147, is all about SUMMER FUN……..You know the inspiration from the title of the post…..Stained glass is always inspiring…just enter any cathedral……One of the most frequent designs in stained glass in cathedrals is the “ROSE MEDALLION”, which is another inspiration for the print….This is a PLACEMENT PRINT…..Notice how the circular ROSE MEDALLION is placed at the bottom of the V-neck….Every garment in every size will be like this……The second thing to notice in the design of the print is how the stain glass pieces FALL AWAY INTO VERTICAL STRIPES at the bottom of the garment, and at the hem of the sleeve which is a 3/4 length. This was purposely done to create a longer more “linear” look on the body……..a more figure flattering look.. The print itself dictated, somewhat, the depth and shape of the V-neck and the length of the garment, which is approx. 26 1/2 inches for the XS…….If necessary, it can easily be shortened without loosing the integrity of the design…..The fabric is the same poly jersey as the TILE PRINT, and the same company printed both prints from the art work I sent to them………I realize not everything is for everyone, and that certainly applies even more when it comes to prints!…..and that’s fine. I do not expect everyone to like it. Not everything I do can be designed for everyone………This is a very European print………. ……………very Pucci-esque…..This is a print I imagine the girls in St. Tropez wearing with their bikini bottoms sipping some exotic drink, under an umbrella at some lovely cafe, on a bright sunny day….a guy can dream………or…..with a pair of white short shorts……or WHITE JEANS, CAPRIS,…..or my new PEBBLE CREPE CROP PANT shown above………..The color is………. BLUE….but it is a lovely combination of FIVE BLUES….a GREEN…..WHITE & BLACK………Again…..it’s all about………………FUN IN THE SUN………..scroll down………..
…………………………………….enjoy…………………much Love………………………………..Louis
………………………………The second color combination for the STAINED GLASS WINDOW PRINT is……………….FUCHSIA…….Again, there are five different PINKS, ROSES and FUCHSIA. The line work is a dark BLACK BERRY…..and WHITE highlights the whole design……………….For a fun summer party, wear it with my WHITE CRUSHED GEORGETTE ASYMMETRIC HEM SKIRT….a pair of sandals….the necessary sunglasses….a bag, and your off……..Have Fun!……………enjoy………..much Love Louis
……….I think one of the fabrics that I am asked to repeat most often is the PEBBLE CREPE…..think A213621, the PEBBLE CREPE top with the ballet neck, 3/4 sleeve and pockets….which is also one of my most popular tops and has been reordered many times, and will be reordered again…..FYI…That top will look great with the new P.C Crop pant….The fabric is 70 % RAYON & 30% POLYESTER……The surface of the fabric has a slight irregular texture that I call “PEBBLE”. It gives the fabric a more CASUAL LOOK…………..Washable and easy to care for make these garments perfect for everyday wear and great to take away on trips…………………………………..
A255182 is the PEBBLE CREPE TUNIC……The color above is……..COFFEE BEAN……….The SABRINA neckline is reminiscent of Audrey Hepburn……..not quite a ballet nor a scoop….The length is approx. 30 inches for the XS……There are side slits…..and POCKETS…..The pockets are quarter circle patches with set in bands for easy and comfortable entry….NO BULK…..actually they are the same pockets as the A213621, tunic mentioned above……….beautifully made and beautifully stitched……..As the hem is perfectly straight….it is easy to hem if you need it shortened……..You can easily take off 2 1/2 inches without a problem…..a very easy alteration…………This is a top you can wear any and everywhere……..With a WK pencil skirt your are office, church, dinner ready……with my WALKING SHORTS, A254313, as shown above…..perfect for shopping or luncheon with the girls…..with the matching crop pant…will give you that wonderful COLUMN OF COLOR………..I’ve shown it with BLACK….but….COFFEE BEAN look great with WHITE, TAN, CHINO, TWIG and LINEA NAVY………………..Accessorizing is easy….think natural…..WOOD….TORTOISE…or COLOR such as RED and TURQUOISE….or as I have it shown above with my wonderful BLACK 6 STRAND NECKLACE, J290366…..which was just posted and already getting great reviews….I have it doubled, but that’s just me….I love the chunky look…..it really isn’t necessary, and it has a 3 inch extender if you do not want it close to the neck. It’s a terrific BLACK LICORICE NECKLACE, and they are not easy to find.
A255183, is the PEBBLE CREPE CROP PANT. I have done a P.C. Crop pant before which so many of you loved and pleaded with me to repeat, but the returns were too high to reorder, so lets hope the same fate doesn’t fall upon this one!! LOL……………..What some objected to was the wide leg width………so I narrowed it down some…..It s still easy and in no way a skinny pant…..These are meant to be languid and comfortable! They are a PULL-ON PANT with a full ELASTIC WAIST BAND, but since there is no stretch to this fabric the pant will come in NUMERICAL SIZES…the last pant did not….I think this will solve many problems with sizing……I highly recommend you order your normal Linea numerical size pant……These do not run large or small. I think the fit is very good………..The inseam is approx 25 inches long, and the leg opening is 7 inches…or 14 inches in circumference……..The COFFEE BEAN is NOT LINED and there is absolutely no need for one in this color………They are supper COOL to wear and I know will become a summer favorite……………………scroll down……………………………………………………………………enjoy…………much Love…………………Louis
SUMMER WHITE is the BEST…..Tan if you must…Tan TOWEL if you want……but a good tanned body worn with all WHITE just looks fabulous!……..I kept the collage really simple….WHITE or BLACK BOTTOMS……………….shorts….pencils all work…..even my RAYON/SPAN BLACK MAXI SKIRT, A252354, looks TERRIFIC….The INDIGO WILL LOK FABULOUS TOO….if you want5 that summertime NAUTICAL look……without the gimmicks……Loose and easy or BELTED…it’s up to you………….Again, the necklaces are all LINEA, A290366, for the short multi strand BLACK necklace….and J290357, for the long matte/shiny and gold ball hand knotted bead necklace….there are two of each being shown above……The WHITE CROP PANT IS LINED!!!!, but not the top………It can be so easy to dress for any occasion and look like you really gave it a lot of thought…..only you will know!………………………….scroll down……………………………………………………………enjoy………….much Love ………………..Louis
