…………………Introducing a BRAND NEW SWEATER…….in a BRAND NEW YARN……..A347438……………………….The style is a play on a classic V-neck with some special details. Starting at the top the V is created by two pieces of FULLY FASHIONED knit overlapping to create the V with a squared off bottom.. The bottom of the sweater has two bands that meet at the side seam creating a slit. Notice the bottom EN Ribs bands are cut and applied on the horizontal giving all edges a finish. The sleeves are long. The total length for the xxs is approx. 25 1/2 to 25 and 3/4 inches…..The sweater is made in my Every Needle Stitch construction……….As I said this is a brand new yarn for Linea. It is 65% Rayon and 35% Nylon……Okay, so this sounds like my Whisper Knit, but it is NOT. This is a VERY FINE HIGHLY TWISTED YARN. The yarn is treated in a different way from the WK. The WK has a “warm hand”, some even say it has a soft CASHMERE hand……..In Italy they call this HIGH TWISTED yarn a FREDDO yarn meaning COLD. The hand is totally different, and very European. Sweaters like this are typically found in Ferragamo, Max Mara and other companies known for their superb knit wear……….The color is SAPPHIRE BLUE, and will be one of the KEY COLORS of the season and beyond….If you recall the reorder zip front jacket will be coming next fall in this vivid blue………………..What to pair it with is very simple…….WHITE and IVORY for sure. Above, is the reorder slim pant A265615 in the new Sapphire Blue. It isn’t an exact exact match but very close. I doubt you will ever find another bottom in a closer blue. The A298446, another reorder pant in the Scarlet red, looks wonderful with this blue……Navy for those who prefer a very classic look……There are a zillion ways to accessorize this sweater……….I have chosen the new…….”FANTASY FISH”……in the GREEN and YELLOW………The entire look is simple, but very chic and elegant….even with the whimsical fish…..LOL…….These are the clothes you will wear everyday…..no tricks no frou….no added adornment…….You dress it up the way you like to express your own style!……I know you will love these new additions to your Linea wardrobes………………………………………….enjoy………………….much Love……………………..Louis

…………………It’s called IVORY, but truly it is a soft white………The fully Fashioned details show up very well in the ivory color. Once again the Scarlet Red pant, A298446, and the FANTASY FISH in RED and BLUE. Of course with white everything will work…….On the ear I have the new HOOP EARRING which is avail. in the EXOTIC colors and the CLASSIC colors, but ONLY IN THE CLIP. The pierced versions are completely sold out. I’m a little surprised that the clip sets are still avail. since double the amount were ordered in the pierced version, and they have also been wait listed….. I insisted that my buyer buy this hoop earring in the Clip on version because so many of you said you did not have pierced ears. I thought for sure they would be gone. I hope my buyer will be as accommodating with my next request for clip ons?…………………I love the combination of Red, White and Blue when it’s done in a color block way or a more subtle way by just adding a RED and BLUE FISH or bag or shoe…………….enjoy………………………..much Love……………………Louis

…………………………The question always comes up…………….do I need another black sweater? That’s up to you, but this is like no other due to the details and the new COOL YARN!……………..Add my WHITE BC DENIM JEANS, A304733…..and the Fantasy Fish in WHITE and GREEN for a WOW look……….Simplicity at its’ best!………………………..enjoy………………………….much Love…………………….Louis

……………………………There’s a new FISH swimming up stream, and we are calling it “THE FANTASY FISH”, J360756………….Ever since I created the first fish pendant for QVC, which came from my Anne Klein archives it was a huge success. I have been wondering what the next “species” would be. I toyed with another fish, but I really felt I hadn’t explored all of the possibilities  with this fish….I just couldn’t let it swim out to sea…..From the beginning I have been wanting to do the fish in other colors besides the classic gold and silver…..so we experimented with different platting colors…gold ox, copper ox, gunmetal, green patina, shiny black, pink gold [to come]……all sell outs…….what’s next……………I have been talking to the factory for at least two years about doing COLOR, but how to achieve it……….We have finally developed a new way to “color” the fish. It is still a METAL BASE as the original, but it has a new method of coloring…I repeat it is a METAL FISH just like the original only with color on top……Now we can do all the colors of the RAINBOW………It is the same body and size as the original fish, and it is still double sided with different color eyes on each side……..What is totally different is the FEEL of the fish……………It feels soft like TALCUM POWER……..you won’t want to stop touching it……………………..Now the colors………………………………………..BLUE……………………………WHITE…………………….RED………………………YELLOW…………………………GREEN………..all hanging from GOLD CHAINS…………..Of course they look wonderful on there own…..but I’m having so much fun mixing two colors at a time……………………….I know you will love the new FANTASY FISH…………..If you got compliments with the original…..just wait…………………………..enjoy………………….much Love…………………………….Louis
