Whisper Knit Sneak Peek #4, A233947, is the SLEEVELESS MOCK NECK sweater. The length is approx. 26 inches for the XS. In your collection of ESSENTIAL WHISPER KNIT pieces, a sleeveless mock neck holds a special place. This is a truly season-less piece, and looks great both dressed up and casual. I particularly like the sleeveless mock neck paired with the KIMONO, but honestly looks just a fabulous with the CLASSIC CARDIGAN. In all BLACK , the set can take you from the office to drinks after work, and with the right bottom…..say a black lace skirt or a long jersey skirt…..it would be appropriate for any “special occasion”. With a pair of black leggings or white Capri pants and the silver or gold wave necklace….it’s a spectacular look…..you can’t get any more modern than that…..and on top of it all…..it’s SUPER COMFORTABLE! With my simple WHITE or INDIGO DENIM PENCIL SKIRT, a pair of the newest POINTY flats or TEA CUP heels…..a great TOTE in a third accent color……. all eyes will be on you. Of course the NECTARINE mock neck, pictured above is the perfect color to wear with your new FISH PENDANT!……make sure the ORANGE EYE is up!! All you really need for this sweater is a pair of suntanned arms………faux tans will do too. Once again the colors are……….NECTARINE………..AQUA…………..LIME………..HOT PINK…………NAVY………..BLACK…………………………….start checking off your list.

………………………………..enjoy………………much Love…………………..Louis

Whisper Knit Sneak Peek #3, A223942, is the ESSENTIAL SLEEVELESS V-NECK. The sweater is approx. 24 1/2 inches long for the XS, and with each size up it gets  a little longer. These are your CORE pieces……your building blocks. Pieces you will collect and wear season after season, year after year. This V-neck sleeveless tank is the PERFECT LAYERING PIECE. You can see from the “Linea NAVY” tank above that the sweater sits well below the waist, and the V neckline isn’t TOO HIGH……….. nor is it TOO LOW. The armholes are in the perfect place and are bra friendly……as is the width of the band at the shoulder. Come fall, wear it as a vest over your KATE shirts and a blazer over it. Won’t it be great to have a shot of color under your black or navy blazers when Oct., Nov., Dec. etc. rolls around. Once again this sweater will be avail in all SIX COLORS:………….NAVY……..BLACK……..AQUA………..NECTARINE…………LIME………….HOT PINK……………These are the colors you always look for and wish you had to coordinate with the new print you just bought or the new scarf you wish you had the RIGHT COLOR to wear with……..it’s the color you decide not to get that you will be looking for next year………These pieces are not about the latest trends…..they don’t have to depend on trends to look……. MODERN…..CHIC……and……TIMELESS………you simply can’t go wrong!…………………..enjoy………………much Love……………….Louis

Whisper Knit Sneak Peek #2 is A233950, THE KIMONO CARDIGAN. This is a RELAXED FIT garment, but by NO means is it OVER SIZED…..so buy your normal size. There are no buttons or closures on the cardigan, which gives it a very nonchalant look. The sleeves are 3/4 length. It is also perfect for accessories since there are no details or adornments to clash with the accessories your might want to wear. This can be super casual with jeans, Capri pants and leggings….or….the perfect cover up over a little summer dress. Pair it with a matching or contrast layering piece, a pencil skirt,the new tea cup or pointy flats, and you’re office ready…….uncomplicated….easy and MODERN. You ALWAYS NEED a coverup in the summer unless you live out doors 24/7. It is my experience….the hotter the climate ….the colder the air conditioned offices, restaurants, movies etc. feel. The kimono is approx. 27 inches long for the XS. REMEMBER….with each larger size the kimono is graded longer! The colors, in case you need a reminder are……..HOT PINK [pictured above]………………LIME……………..AQUA…………NECTARINE……………….NAVY…………….BLACK……………….Also pictured above is the SLEEVELESS V-NECK in the matching Hot Pink and Black……….navy and nectarine look great with the hot pink too……….I know this will become one of your new favorites………..because………it’s so easy!………………………………enjoy…………..much Love…………Louis

I know many of you have been patiently waiting for me to post the NEW WHISPER KNITS. The first style is A229715, THE CLASSIC CARDIGAN. As I have explained before, these will be sold “ON LINE ONLY”…..the same way I sell the jewelry. However, I will be “showing” them on models whenever I can…..for example….if I am selling a blazer, pant or skirt, I will put one of the new sweaters with it so you will see how they look on. I do think the “sneak peek” photos are very accurate. The colors may be slightly off, but you can’t help that with pictures. I can only say they will be just as good or better than what you will see on the Q Linea web site. ……….There will be ……………..6 STYLES…………in 6 COLORS…..for a total of …..36 OPTIONS………..I call these colors the “FIESTA COLORS” and they are…………………LIME…………..AQUA…………HOT PINK…………NECTARINE……….NAVY………….BLACK………All six styles will be in these same six colors…….The cardigan above was styled after the……….A217628 cardigan……..so…….if you were pleased with the fit and look of that cardigan, you will be happy with this new, extremely similar version! Likewise, if the original cardigan did not work for you, this probably won’t either. The length of this cardigan for the XS is approx. 26 1/2 to 27 inches. For me this is an ESSENTIAL, SEASON-LESS PIECE. ….to be collected and saved. You already know the virtues of Whisper Knit………….how soft it is to the touch, how well it washes and wears, and how well it packs. These are like POTATO CHIPS……….you simply can not have ONE! Remember, all of the other pieces will come in the same colors, so you can have sets if you like…… mixing the colors is great fun [aqua with lime, navy and nectarine, black and hot pink etc.]………. or use them as accent pieces. The sweaters will be avail. sometime in MID APRIL……I do not have an exact date for on line only products. Previewing them early will give you plenty of time to decide how you want to match and mix them……make a chart with the styles along the top and the colors down the side and check off which colors you want in which styles……this may help to give you an overall picture of what you are planning. I will suggest………..when the time comes and they are avail for purchasing…….don’t wait too long to order…..I have a feeling they will be gone quicker than the FISH PENDANT…………….LOL……………….enjoy………….much Love……………..Louis

The A214114, Baby Cheetah Print Top, has arrived and is ready for purchasing……. if you haven’t already. I have  introduced two new colors this year………OLIVE………&……CHILI PEPPER………………..now I am bringing you another new color……………SMOKY GREY……………For those of you who ask ….”is grey really a spring color”…………just take a look at the E.F. catalog. There is more to the spring pallet  than bright and pastel colors. For me, there is nothing more chic than BLACK, GREY and WHITE……….the white to give the black and grey contrast and EDGE….BLACK and or SILVER are the perfect accessories!……………Returning are the ………………PERFECTLY PINK……….&………….BLUE………….The Blue with my new INDIGO DENIM SKIRT and my new WHITE JEAN JACKET…..were made for each other………..you simply can’t go wrong. The PERFECTLY PINK top takes on two different characters just by changing a BLACK BOHO with a PERFECTLY PINK BOHO. Two great summer looks….one for office….one for play……………scroll down for the other returning color………..all beautiful………………….
