The KIMONO JACKET, A235322, also comes in a beautiful deep saturate shade of …………FUCHSIA…………………………………….In the photos above you can easily see the weave and texture of the fabric. I have the FUCHSIA KIMONO shown three different ways……worn with a BLACK TANK and my IVORY CREPE PANT, A232347, perfect for right now………a BLACK TANK and the new FUCHSIA STRIATED JERSEY SKIRT……………and worn over all BLACK….a TANK and CAPRI PANTS………….I am sure you will find many ways to mix other colors and prints with this FUCHSIA jacket. When adding a third color to the Fuchsia jacket and a black or white pant, just match your accessories to the third color to pull it all together or to your bottom color……It usually always works…………scroll down for more…………enjoy………….Love…………..Louis

The last color being offered in the KIMONO, A235322, is……………….CARIBBEAN BLUE………………and I know….you know where the inspiration for that color came from!  I have the KIMONO jacket paired with my elongated tank, A232345 and my BLACK LEGGING……..perfect for immediate wear! If you want it less casual or leggings aren’t your thing, I highly recommend my A233852, faux linen BLACK pant. Once again, I am showing my CARIBBEAN BLUE STRIATED T-SHIRT with the BLACK PANT,  and with the matching SKIRT…….sneak peeks to come. If you haven’t picked up my BLACK BEAD NECKLACE, J270117, I can only say I use them quite often when I’m styling the outfits…….they come in very handy and make accessorizing a breeze……Of course I like them layered for a more dramatic look….so I like the look of TWO………………Enjoy……………..much Love………………Louis

As you know For each garment being shown I do a sketch for the stylists to see how each model is to look and each model will get a duplicate sketch so they know how I want it worn and with what accessories, which will be bagged for them………there is a lot of work and organization before each show.

Thank you one and all for your Birthday wishes! Of course, who’s counting!! Jac is taking me to the Big Apple tonight [I’m driving…LOL], to see a Broadway show and then to dinner. It’s a surprise. We like Tuesday night theater because, the curtain goes up an hour earlier at 7pm instead of 8pm…..so dinner isn’t too late. We don’t like to eat before theater and then sit for two hours. Again….thank you all for your good wishes.

On June 22, 2013…..I will be on PM Style with a brand new STRIPE PONTE KNIT DRESS, A235307. The sketch above is an example of the sketches I do for the stylists and the models so they know who is to wear what and how each should look in their individual outfits…..I leave nothing to chance…………..This is the way I was trained and it’s hard to teach “old dogs new tricks”……….. I have taught, by example, many of the designers you may know who have worked for me over the years. Each model gets a sketch on a plastic bag with all of her accessories in it, so she knows exactly how I expect her to look when she comes out onto the runway. They love doing the show, because it feels like a real runway show, but it is a lot of work with usually 4 to 6 minutes in between changes………………..I thought you might enjoy getting a glimpse of what goes into doing one of my presentations……………..
