…………………There are two sides to every story….two sides on every coin…..so is it with the BLACK WHISPER KNIT CARDIGAN, A 267864. A Cardigan is one of the most versatile pieces in your wardrobes…….It can easily be worn for all daytime occasions and for all evening events as illustrated above……The BLACK SWING REORDER CARDIGAN can simply be worn with a white shirt as the KATE shirt above and the Taupe Ponte BC pant. Add the Lariat/Bolo and you have something very special…..For my party gals…wear the cardigan with nothing under it, a black lace cami if you must,  some NEW FABULOUS HOLIDAY JEWELS, and the BLACK SEQUIN pant…..,You will definitely OUT SHINE EVERY OTHER WOMAN IN THE ROOM……without question…………The cardigans are avail right now! I will be featuring them this Friday morning on the Morning show starting at 7:00am on the Main Channel!……….

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

……………………….This Dark Purple has a lot of blue in it so it works very well with the Sapphire Holiday jewels….If you are in the mood for COLOR, and need something else to wear with your new sequin pant….here you go. Again, all eyes will be on you, and your husband will be so proud to walk in any place with you……….For daytime a simple white TEE and jeans will do like my new NAVY JEAN CUT PANT……or in the photo above….. I have the asymmetric Moss Crepe top in teal with the navy soft floral skirt and the new TEAL Carnival necklace, which will be on my Fashion Day show on Sept. 14 at 4:00pm on the Main Channel. The colors in the skirt look amazing with this cardigan, and the teal mix works perfectly with the skirt and the necklace too.. I know you will think of lots of ways to wear this fabulous color cardigan!…………………enjoy………….much Love……………………Louis

………………..MUSHROOM is a brand new Linea color…..It’s a deeper Taupe from the Fawn, and it has a touch of PINK in it as opposed to yellow which many Taupes have.. This is a great neutral color. The MUSHROOM pant that goes with the new Blazer works perfectly with the cardigan, and many things you already own…..Now, getting the two items to match….this was a feat!. Getting two different mills in two very different areas of China to come up with the same color for two totally different yarns is a MIRACLE. They can be as far from each other as New York and California. It looks perfect with the Orchid and Magenta Shadow Floral blouses [magenta shown above]. Add the STATION FACETED BEAD NECKLACE in the new PLUM for the perfect touch……These are cardigans to collect, and yes, owning them in many colors is quite all right. They will never go out of style………………..enjoy…………….much Love…………………………Louis

……………THE SUIT……First a story………In Sept of 2017 I was in my studio. I had just received my new set of samples, and they were hung around the room. One of those samples was the BLAZER COAT, A298054……. Jac walked in to see the new clothes and walked right over to the blazer coat….took the black one….tried it on and said, “this is mine!”. It was so Jac. She immediately said you must make a BLAZER in this fabric…..I said don’t you think the fabric is a little heavy for a blazer? She looked at me like I had THREE HEADS. NO! she emphatically said. I have done many fittings for Armani, the king of jackets, and Valentino, and many of the jackets were this weight…….She began to rattle off a stream of designer names that she had worked for that all had jacket this weight. YSL, and Thierry Mugler being just a few of them. I always admired the Mugler sculptured jackets…….”Okay”, I said you shall have a blazer in this fabric, which is the exact same fabric as the Blazer coat and the TRENCH COAT…..Jac never got to see it, but I know she would have taken all three samples and would have said to me, “these are mine!”………If it weren’t for Jac this blazer would have never happened…………………………….She was and always will be my inspiration.

…………..The Blazer, A343162……….As I have already said is made in the Trench coat and Blazer coat fabric. It truly is the perfect marriage of design and fabric. The fabric SEWS and TAILORS like a dream……..I want you to know I paid attention to every detail of this jacket. Tailoring is very important to me, and I wanted to make sure THIS JACKET  was tailored exactly as I wanted….no steps or details were skipped or left out….This is a Three button jacket, and you can button it as you choose. Button all three for a more severe fitted look…..button the top two which is how most will wear it….or just the top button for a more relaxed look….You can ALWAYS tell the BALANCE of a jacket when it is worn open….Please note how straight the front hangs when the jacket is open……Please notice the SHOULDER LINE…..I used a very specific should pad, and made sure the SLEEVE CAP filler was used [often left off] so a smooth shoulder was created…..Please pay attention to the COLLAR and LAPEL. It is made with precision. The BAND POCKETS do work and are perfectly placed. There are no buttons on the sleeve to make it easy if the sleeve needs to be shortened……..NOW…….this blazer does not come in petites, not my choice. Therefore I ask the very petite women to use your better judgement if this jacket will work for you are not. I am sure in your heart of hearts you know if this jacket will work for you or not. I don’t want you to get it home and be disappointed. That said, it can be shorten, both sleeve and length of jacket if you want to invest in the alterations. I think it is worth it…..These quality jackets don’t come often and are hardly ever reordered………..The SHAPE……..This blazer has princess seams and body darts in the front. It has princess seams in the back plus a center back seam. There are lots of seams to custom shape this blazer if you so do desire. I tried to show the shape in the photos, but it really is impossible to achieve……There are so many ways to wear this black blazer! I have it shown over the magenta and slate blue SHADOW FLORAL BLOUSES, with both the matching pant and JEANS……Wear it over your dresses, and skirts both long, short, or flared …..even over your printed skirts!……..This is the uniform of many French Women…..the BLAZER…the dress pant or jeans……..TIMELESS, and always in style.

………….The PANT, A343163. First….now this is important. I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again……..THIS BLACK PANT HAS DOUBLE DUTY…..It is the pant that creates the “Suit” since it is in the same fabric and color as the black blazer……BUT…..It is also the pant that will go with….THE TUXEDO JACKET coming in OCT!…same fabric!…..It is a tailored trouser. Flat front with a zipper and button waist band. There are trouser pockets that add no bulk…..and a back elastic for stretch and comfort. It basically is a straight-ish leg…….It will also be avail in PETITES!

…………Ladies if you own only one suit…..this IS IT……..It truly is a beautifully made garment, and looks and feels like many that I made at Anne Klein for four times the amount of money. It will last forever!…………………………….enjoy……………………….much Love…………………..Louis

………………The MUSHROOM SUIT………………….When I asked Jac what colors she would like to see in this suit, other than black, TAUPE was her first choice. Jac thought it would look very Armani, and Jac was right………I guarantee if you walk down Via Monte Napoleone in Milan, Italy….the Fashion District…..no one would think you were a tourist!…..Wearing the whole look with the ORCHID SHADOW FLORAL blouse, and the Multi color Faceted bead necklace, J356989, with a Milan attitude……is very MILANESE!………The jacket and or pant can be mixed with so many other things and colors………….All you need to do is PLAY!…………………………enjoy……………..much Love……………………….Louis
