………………….I thought on this Halloween you might enjoy a TREAT…..instead of a trick!…….This photo of Jac and I was taken for a May 1992 article and photo spread in HG magazine. There are 3 or 4 pages of our home in CT, and this picture was taken in my Anne Klein studio as part of the spread. Anna Wintour had come from England and had taken over the magazine “House and Garden”. There was quite an uproar because of the changes she made including the logo of the name! I believe this 1992 May edition was either the second or third one she put out. From there it was a short jump to taking over Vogue. The new editor and chief, who then took her place, changed the logo back to the original “House and Garden” as it remains to this day…..I guess the HG magazines that Anna did are true collector’s items since so few were published.. I remember Jac and I having a good time in the studio working with the fabulous photographer Oberto Gili. Oberto still does work for H & G. He specialized in architecture, home and interior photographs…….The suit Jac is wearing was white with black and red bands. It became Saks 5th Ave’s Spring Vogue ad…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Jac was too beautiful for words……the perfect model……………..My inspiration then……………………..and my inspiration now.

………………………The Maltese Cross is avail! I’m sure there are very few, and will probably be gone soon, but I thought I’d give a heads up to anyone who missed it!….A perfect Holiday gift!

……………………….I thought the NOVELTY BEAD NECKLACE, J357120, was worth a second look…..This time of year when we seriously start thinking about buying gifts for Holiday giving I like to post some of my favorite things that are still avail……The necklace and earring set above, which I call my BYZANTINE SET is one of those favorite pieces. The combination of the Fluted Color beads with the Baroque Gold beads, and the Enameled Ribbed beads adds up to one beautiful and VERSATILE accessory. The necklace is 72 inches ling so you can wear it many ways…..This is a QUALITY piece of jewelry that I’m sure anyone would love to receive. Maybe, for someone very special, you are planning to get them a WK sweater and something else. Wouldn’t a coordinating piece of jewelry be the perfect duo, and this necklace goes with everything I have presented for this past Fall. The earring is very light so it will be perfect for everyone. It brings color to the face. The necklace is also a wonderful piece to MIX with other necklaces you may own, especially if you have other Byzantine pieces from the past……Above, I have it mixed with the HARP necklace, J357131, which is now on CLEARANCE. This is another great present for someone who appreciates a UNIQUE artistic piece of jewelry…Both pieces are highly rated as most of the Linea jewelry is…………………………Happy Holidays………………much Love……………………Louis
