From Louis

……………….Where ever I have stayed around the world….I always had some sort of paper and a sketching utensil with me, even at my bed side……even if it was just the hotel stationary…….While staying in Germany I jotted down some ideas I had that I didn’t want to forget…The brain never takes a rest!!!…..They were ribbed sweaters…..a button front fully fashioned mock neck halter , and a crop TN with a cropped jacket and drop waisted wide leg pants……….I don’t even remember this hotel or where or when in Germany I was!!!!….but I quickly recorded my ideas!

…………………At the recent men’s final tennis match at Wimbledon…..Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, was at attendance with her daughter Charlotte….She looked stunning and healthy in her purple dress……One but couldn’t help noticing the bold HOOP EARRING she was wearing………If you are interested in capturing “THE KATE LOOK”….I have three STERLING SILVER HOOP EARRING that will work beautifully…….The style numbers are…..J407814…….J438610….and….J422014…….give them a look and see if they don’t capture the Kate Middleton LOOK!…..Praying continued good health for the Princess!

………………….DOLCE & GABBANA did a masterful COUTURE COLLECTION……..My all time favorite color combination is….BLACK & GOLD and they did it MAGNIFICENTLY!……….This was their 2024 Couture Show….the way an ALTA MODA show should be……Every piece, and there were lots of them……was executed by masterful hands……Every fabric…every color…ever embroidery was overwhelming….and it was ALL WEARABLE!!!!…..such riches!!!……The production was FLAWLESS…..The very best of the season bar none……BRAVO!!!!!

………………EVERY DETAIL from HEAD TO TOE, was incredibly thought out as only HAUTE COUTURE can be….ALL HAND MADE……..The jewelry, the shoes, the embroidery, the makeup, and the short wigs in black or metallic gold were all superb!…..one beauty after the other…….and the models were fabulous! Not one so called super model, in the bunch!…..but….they were ALL super!!

………………Beside a plethora of BLACK, and GOLD  & BLACK dresses, there was a series of gorgeous chiffon magnificently draped gowns in the most beautiful colors……The Dolce & Gabbana ateliers certainly know what they are doing…..Each piece is a challenge and was masterfully done!
