………………………For the October show, on the 27th, I will have the NEW SLIM LEG GABERDINE PANT…….A259702, for the regular length, and A259705, for the petite length…….The pant has a classic slim leg with a 6 1/2 inch bottom opening….or 13 inches around . There are no pockets to keep the line smooth and sleek. The front has a zipper and button on the waist band. The front waist band is flat while the back has a full elastic… which becomes smooth on the body. Many of you are familiar with the gabardine fabric as I have used it many times……63%poly/33%rayon/4%spandex…..washable and great for travel. These are your ESSENTIAL SLIM PANTS. The inseam for the size 6 is approx. 30 inches. Remember……the SLIMMER THE LEG…..the SHORTER THE PANT…….You do not want these to break in any way…..They will be NUMERICALLY SIZED…..The color above is…….OLIVE, which along with…STONE and BLACK…..is one of the KEY COLORS for my Oct. grouping. Above, there are SIX different tops that work with the OLIVE…..From right to left….The OLIVE CLASSIC TN,A72448,….The OLIVE SUEDE JACKET, A259613,……the OLIVE TUNIC SWEATER, A259620…….the CLAY BYZANTINE MOSAIC PRINT TOP, A259615……the BABY CHEETAH JACQUARD SOLID TOP, A238543……and the OLIVE BRANCH PONCHO…..and that’s not even mixing in the solid colors that work with OLIVE……Petrol Blue, Lapis, Fuchsia, Magenta, Mulberry, Clay, Sienna,Charcoal, Walnut, Ivory, Black etc etc etc……..So you can see Olive is KEY…Even if you can’t wear Olive next to your face….you can always wear an OLIVE TROUSER……………..The necklaces on the OLIVE TUNIC are J288077, the floating Olive Bead and GM chain necklace mixed with a brand new necklace coming this month….sorry no J number yet……………………..enjoy…………….much Love……….Louis
Louis, Thank You for bringing back my all-time favorite fabric for pants- and not just for Linea! I have the original trouser style pant from years ago. Although both my black and olive pants still look like new, I will be trying the new slim leg style in the petite length. These are not to be missed!
Louis,
This morning flitting through some of the websites of other fav designers..among them Eileen Fisher and DVF…I find if I see something I like there, I return to you first to see your version cause you are always ahead or just in time for a new trend, but not trendy change. one thing I asked of you …is where design appropriate, please keep using the double zippers …so comfortable and useful! I rarely button a coat because I like freedom of movement…those zippers provide that…I can close the neck where I am most vulnerable, but keep mid waist down open for movement! I rarely buy a coat without them…did get the swing in black and waiting for faux fur! but those anorex from couple of seasons ago…still utter perfection and I bought all three colors…thxs
Louis,
I can’t wait for your new slim pant. I am a petite. What is the inseam length on the petite version? Thanks.
Sorry, since I do not get petite samples I do not have that info.
Hi Louis,
The clay mosaic print is gorgeous with the olive, looks like a major player, are more things coming in this print, or a similar one?
Also, I’d like to get a double stand beaded necklace or two, which color do you recommend with all the olive sweaters and jackets, please?
Thank you….
Dear Cela ….that’s difficult as they all work…..since you probably don’t have much chocolate why don’t you try that.
My Birthday Budget has now doubled. Looking forward to trying this pant.
I will order the new olive tunic and these pants in olive. Will you please pass along how the pant fits on Jac? I think she usually wears a 6 and I would like to know her thoughts on sizing/fit. I order an XS in ponte knit pants and skirts, but a 4 in your woven pants. So I’m debating between the 4 and the 6. I tend to like a more snug fit. Thank you so much!
Thanks LDO – much like your designs, your timing is impeccable! As you already know, many of us NEED this Olive to achieve more looks of past collectibles. Own (2) pair of the original slim leg in Black which always are a staple in my business carry on. Can’t wait to pair with the lace print tank & drape front cardi for a ‘new’ look!
UR amazing! & keep on keepin’ on making me happy. . .please. . .
