……………………………..For Spring 2019 one of the strongest print trends is………..”The Botanicals”…………………….Above, are photos of just a few of the Botanical prints that will be coming from different leading designers around the world for Spring and EARLY FALL of 2019…………..The center caftan is right off the most recent Gucci runway for Pre-Fall 2019.. The florals above are from Gucci, Hermes, Dolce and Gabbana, Erdum and Etro….all for this coming spring, and pre fall……Botanicals are a very specific type of floral print……..They are for the most part realistic, and drawn from actual specimens…………..My love for flowers is the reason I have chosen a BOTANICAL PRINT for my newest BIG DEAL…………………….I hope you enjoy them as much as I did doing them…….I might add….all of the clothes above are over $2000, and the scarves are in the $500 range and above. I can assure you my BIG DEAL is a fraction of that….but….they look like they could cost over $2000…..and $500…..and above!…………………….enjoy…………………much Love…………………………..Louis
………………………….For my first BIG DEAL of 2019 I am presenting my BOTANICAL PRINT FAUX DE CHINE TOP, A347495, and the matching SCARF, A347497………..This is an extraordinary placement print. The center floral panel and leaves are executed superbly, and the signature border frames the print beautifully….This print can easily be on any European runway…..that’s how beautiful the print is……The ground of the print is IVORY, and the borders are NAVY…..Due to the intricacy of the print I kept the design of the blouse simple. You might think that the scarf was designed first and then the top print was taken from that, but actually the opposite would be correct……First I designed the border print for the blouse, using the border to finish the 3/4 length sleeve, and again as a top yoke for the blouse…….Then we designed the 36 inch square scarf…..a classic size….which is fabulous on its’ own….What a beautiful present it would make!…….The top has a ballet neckline, because I wanted it to be uncomplicated for when you wish to wear the matching scarf.. There are side slits for an easy flow. The fabric is a WOVEN FAUX DE CHINE, and is 92% polyester and 8% spandex, so it has very good stretch for maximum comfort. It has a very SILKY hand, and even with the 8% spandex is very light weight……The top is approx. 27 inches long for the size 4. The blouse will be NUMERICALLY sized………The NAVY CROP PANT, A302601 gives the blouse a casual look…..With each Big Deal I always do a special piece of Linea jewelry……This time I have done a MULTI COLOR FACETED GLASS BEAD necklace and EARRING SET to coordinate with each print, J360760. The BLUE MULTI was done to go with this print color, but actually I like them all layered with each print. They will also work with so many of the things you already own, and with many more things coming this Spring 2019 like the WILD FLOWER ruffle skirt and peasant blouse……..When I look at this outfit with the Botanical floral blouse and crop pant….I can’t help but think of the “Swans of 5th Ave”, a wonderful book that takes you into the inside world of the Cafe Society women such as Babe Paley, C.Z. Guest, Slim Keith, Gloria Guinness and Patricia Buckley. I can see any one of them in this complete outfit with the scarf wrapped around their heads Grace Kelly style, BIG SUNGLASSES and Ferragamo flats. A little something they picked up at Hermes for a quick weekend get away to Palm Beach, Jamaica or Antigua………..This is a timeless classic blouse that will never go out of style, and will be admired for years to come…………………………………….enjoy………………………….much Love……………………………….Louis
……………………………….The second color that will be avail in the BIG DEAL BOTANICAL PRINT top and SCARF is…….PINK……this time bordered in BLACK……………….All of the flowers are in different colors from the Ivory combination………There are beautiful shades of orange…..the oranges of a Tiger Lily…………………The black pant is the Super Ponte straight leg, A282551, but all black bottoms will work. Even the new PERFECTLY PINK CROP PANT to come will look fabulous!……………….The Faceted bead necklace is in the PINK combination with the matching Pink drop earring….perfectly coordinating to the blouse……..I think you will enjoy “playing” with the many ways you can tie and wear the scarf……as the classic side tie, or as a front bow for a very feminine look…….tie it on you shoulder bag as a beautiful accessory…….a very Cafe Society Ladies who lunch look!………………………..enjoy…………………………much Love…………………………..Louis
………………………I love the MINT combination with its’ cool tonal look. It looks totally different than all of the others, and for me, it is very special. It is for those who are looking for something very different and unique……………….The Mint is bordered in NAVY………..There is a special color the necklace was done in to coordinate with the print. It too is called MINT, and has all of the colors in the print. The earring is a beautiful pale green…..Green and Hazel eyed ladies….this may be the perfect color for you!……The NAVY PONTE PULL ON SKIRT is brand new this season. A347449 is the style number, and is avail in BLACK and IVORY too……..Of course any navy or ivory bottom will work to a “T”. Maybe you have a pair of mint crops tucked away. If not JEANS will work perfectly too for a more casual look…………….enjoy………………..much Love……………………………..Louis
