………………..THE GREAT “WHITE”…………as in “T” SHIRT!…………….So many have asked me to do a basic T shirt in the same poly/span fabric that I do the prints in….so this is for you!….When I told my manufacturer that  I wanted to do the ULTIMATE WHITE T in this fabric I was told NO….it would be too see through for QVC….NO is not a word I listen to…..Okay, if “see through” is the problem….what’s the solution?…………..So………I had them DOUBLE THE FRONT………….In a SEA of SEE THROUGH T shirts in all of the stores….THIS ONE IS NOT!! It wasn’t really that see though to begin with, but for QVC we wanted to be 100% sure it would be acceptable……..The back and the sleeve are left with a single layer……Where else in the world are you going to find a WHITE T SHIRT where the front is…..DOUBLED!!!!????…..It is the Ultimate……….The T has a short sleeve and a banded V-neckline. It is approx. 23 1/2 to 24 inches for the xs………….You already know how well this fabric washes and how great it is for travel………so again….it is the ULTIMATE WHITE T………………Above, I have put together two ways to wear it out of a million possibilities……..On the left….The NAVY DENIM VEST, A252356, with the blue knit skirt, A254438…………….and on the right….. for a really summery look I have it with the AQUA DENIM VEST, A252356 and the new WHITE ASYMMETRIC HEM CRUSHED GEORGETTE SKIRT, A255139…………The WIND CHIME NECKLACE is a perfect accompaniment, J288015……….scroll down…………………enjoy………….much Love……………Louis

…………………………The SKY BLUE T SHIRT, A255118…..is the second choice for color……It is almost the exact same color as the SKY BLUE CRUSHED GEORGETTE PIECES. There is a very slight difference due to the fabrication…..but for industry standards…it’s a match……It’s a wonderfully sophisticated blue with just a touch of gray to keep it “designer” looking and not moderate…………Above….on the left…..I have it with the BLUE knit skirt, A254438….and on the right….with my white jeans, A252357, and my BREEZY asymmetric hem crushed georgette cardigan, A255142…………It really is the perfect summertime cover up………………..Satin or shiny SILVER looks great with this color…..the SILVER FISH with the BLUE EYE, coming soon, will be perfection with this color T………………scroll down……………………………………enjoy………….much Love……………………..Louis

………………….First I gave you the ULTIMATE WHITE T……….now……………….THE ULTIMATE BLACK T………A BLACK T that will not fade…..now that’s the ultimate! There is a shape to this T…it is not BOXY…………..I couldn’t think of a better way to show it to you than with my WHITE JEANS, A252357, and my WHITE DENIM JACKET, A232350…………………..While I am using the word ultimate a lot….I may as well use it one more time………….THE ULTIMATE BLACK NECKLACE, J290366…..It is shown above the way it will come to you…This time I did not  layer it with two. Above, is one single fabulous necklace…………..Do not….I repeat….do not, if you have any interest, let this one slip through your fingers…………It really is GOOD!………………..enjoy…………….much Love…………..Louis

……………………HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY EVERYONE!……………………Whatever your plans are for the day…………..I hope you take some time to reflect on our SOLDIERS in the armed forces…………past and present……………..everything we enjoy today is because of their sacrifice…………………God Bless……….much Love……………………..Louis

………………..The STAINED GLASS WINDOW PRINT, A255147, is all about SUMMER FUN……..You know the inspiration from the title of the post…..Stained glass is always inspiring…just enter any cathedral……One of the most frequent designs in stained glass in cathedrals is the “ROSE MEDALLION”, which is another inspiration for the print….This is a PLACEMENT PRINT…..Notice how the circular ROSE MEDALLION is placed at the bottom of the V-neck….Every garment in every size will be like this……The second thing to notice in the design of the print is how the stain glass pieces FALL AWAY INTO VERTICAL STRIPES at the bottom of the garment, and at the hem of the sleeve which is a 3/4 length. This was purposely done to create a longer  more “linear” look on the body……..a more figure flattering look.. The print itself dictated, somewhat, the depth and shape of the V-neck and the length of the garment, which is approx. 26 1/2 inches for the XS…….If necessary, it can easily be shortened without loosing the integrity of the design…..The fabric is the same poly jersey as the TILE PRINT, and the same company printed both prints from the art work I sent to them………I realize not everything is for everyone, and that certainly applies even more when it comes to prints!…..and that’s fine. I do not expect everyone to like it. Not everything I do can be designed for everyone………This is a very European print………. ……………very Pucci-esque…..This is a print I imagine the girls in St. Tropez wearing with their bikini bottoms sipping some exotic drink, under an umbrella at some lovely cafe, on a bright sunny day….a guy can dream………or…..with a pair of white short shorts……or WHITE JEANS, CAPRIS,…..or my new PEBBLE CREPE CROP PANT shown above………..The color is………. BLUE….but it is a lovely combination of FIVE BLUES….a GREEN…..WHITE & BLACK………Again…..it’s all about………………FUN IN THE SUN………..scroll down………..
