…………………..For many years Jac and I spent wonderful vacations on the Island of Anquila…..Why Anguila? Let’s start with the beautiful beaches, and the tranquil laid back pace of the island. The minute you step onto the island your whole body and mind starts to relax. The Cap Juluca Hotel is paradise. I hope it survived the hurricane and it hasn’t changed much. We loved staying there. Everyone was always so friendly………I always loved the colors of Anguila and I have taken hundreds of photos of the flowers and ferns and palm trees…..all so beautiful and inspiring. This was the theme and the inspiration of my new “ISLAND FLORAL” maxi dress………..I hope you enjoy it, and can see the inspiration within the patterns of the dress…….much Love…..Louis

………………………….This print will always bring back good memories for me, so for me it is special…………I know this has been the season of jungle prints, and I have seen some of them advertised in catalogs and on QVC. What I think sets this one apart is the refinement, and meticulous way this design has been laid out and printed. You won’t truly appreciate it until you get it home. Photos just don’t do the colors justice. This is a placement print so on every dress,  in every size, the flowers will always be centered in the front tapering to a V which is very slenderizing. The fabric is my exclusive Poly/Span. This is the same fabric as my OMBRE TUNIC and quite a few tops that I’ve done in the past. I would easily say that 90% of the styles done in this particular jersey have been reordered. This fabric is made and printed outside of China. Why do I do that when everyone else has the fabric made and printed in China……because this is a fantastic mill who learned from many Italian printers that they collaborated with over the years. They learned from the best, and we give them my most difficult prints to make…..The dress will come in two lengths, A308469 for the reg. and A308468 for the petite…….Check all the measurements on the QVC Linea site………..To accessorize I have used the Carnival necklace in the green, and the blue looks wonderful too……….The greens and blues of the Island print are the colors from Anguila……There’s nothing quite like them……………………………………………………………

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

………………………………..I have taken creative license with the turquoise palm fronds, but wouldn’t it be lovely if they did exist! The do printed on the new maxi dress with the beautiful Tangerine blossoms……You really don’t need any jewelry with these dresses…..the flowers are the jewelry……..but if you happened to get the Orange or Aqua Carnival necklaces…..they are just perfect……

….enjoy……………….much Love…………….Louis

………………………Khaki, sand and mocha make up the background for the beautiful Orchid flowers…………..The NATURAL WOOD BEAD necklace and earring set was just too perfect. It’s like a chameleon……it blends into the dress, and then pops when the eyes focus on it……….For me, the Orchid and Mocha is a beautiful and unexpected combination…………………………………………….

enjoy………………much Love……………………Louis.

……………….There is something so happy and tropical about the Yellow flowers laying on the many different colors of blue………………..These are easy dresses, and so easy to care for. Perfect for your next trip or a stay vacation………………………………the Blue Carnival looks like they were made for each other!…………………………enjoy…………………….much Love……………………………….Louis
