……………………This Oct I am introducing the last BIG DEAL of the year…………..The BIG DEAL TOPPER, A389959………The topper is made in the TCF, so it is very structured and beautifully tailored. When Elaine, the wonderful woman who I have been working with for the past 20 plus years, saw the finished production jacket she called me and told me it was absolutely beautiful. Elaine is not one to pat herself on the back, so I knew it must be fabulous…..and it is. The silhouette is simple, but there are many subtle details that make it wonderful….As I said the jacket is made in the trench coat fabric, so you know how precise it looks. The topper is approx. 32 1/2 inches long for the size 4. If you feel you must shorten it there are approx. 3 1/2 inches at the bottom before you get to the zipper. This will not hurt the look of the jacket because you would wear the bottom unzipped anyway…..It is numerically sized. It has a V-neckline that for me has the perfect depth. It works with many styles of collars from a classic jewel and turtle neck. to all types of shirt collars, and the knew wrap neck collar was designed and fitted to work perfectly with the Topper……..The topper has a 2 WAY ZIP so you can style it anyway you like. I always like it unzipped at the bottom. How high up is up to you. With all 2 way zippers you must always pay attention and make sure the zippers are “anchored” correctly before trying to zip them. Sometimes new zippers can stick a little. I always suggest  running a bar of soap up and down on the zipper…..This is a trick my mother taught me years ago with Ivory soap….The topper has PRINCESS SEAMS and BODY SEAMS from the center of the shoulder to the hem of the jacket which give the topper its’ graceful shape……There is a hidden pocket in the Princess Seam……The back has a panel for shaping so the back doesn’t get boxy…..This topper has the classic Linea shoulder line created with a should pad and shoulder filler……………It is completely lined in satin. This topper was meant to be worn as you would a blazer, but it can also be worn as a light spring topper/coat….Remember the trench coat and the riding jacket were done in the SAME fabric…………Above, from left to right is the Caramel Super Ponte pant with the new Caramel split collar WK sweater. The Gypsy coin necklace looks incredible on it….The new Ivory classic TN looks fresh and clean with the caramel Fez necklace…….For some print fun both the Caramel Ombre Leopard print and the Caramel Cheetah print tops work perfectly……..As for bottoms you can basically wear almost anything from long and short WK skirts, the pencil skirt in the TCF, slim pants, crop pants and boot cut pants which are above in the Caramel. With the print tops I have the Walnut jean and the black slim pant….The faux suede pants look great too……………….enjoy exploring all of the tops and bottoms you already own……………………………….much Love………………………Louis

……………………..There are many many beautiful colors you can add to Caramel to create beautiful Fall looks……………..From the left the Pine WK TN and the Espresso pant…. The Loden WN TN with the Loden S Ponte pant worn with the Global 15 strand bead necklace……The Wine WK TN with the wine S Ponts pant, and the amber and garnet TWISTED SISTER torsade, and finally the Peacock WK TN with the Walnut jean and the Chocolate Liquid necklaces and earring ……….I simply went to my bins of WK T necks and started pulling out colors….there were so many more that work with Caramel, turquoise, and mallard, red, purple and magenta, bisque and forest green just to name a few…..There are so many more necklaces too that work like the TASSEL GRANDE in the Amber or Chocolate, ALL of the chocolate necklaces like the Liquid and the Grecian groups which is shown above on the Mallard TN……..Ladies it’s time to bring you fall clothes out of storage, air them out and PLAY!……..BTW….the new PLUM TN, WK SKIRT and PONTE PANT look fabulous with Caramel!!!!……………………….enjoy………………..much Love………………………..Louis

………………………..The IVORY TOPPER is truly seasonless…….It can be worn all fall, winter and spring…..It can be very casual or very dressed up….but it is always……CHIC….REFINED and ELEGANT….but most of all GLAMOROUS!!!!……..This is the perfect fabric to do in IVORY…….Due to the density of the fabric and the ivory satin lining….it isn’t see through at all…..on the contrary it is one of the most opaque Ivory jackets I’ve seen…..You can wear anything under it even a bold stripe………….Just the ivory TN and black slim pants with the ivory jacket makes such an expensive and exclusive statement…..Add the gold Anniversary pendant to finish the look……From jeans, a chambray blue wing collar shirt with the compass pendant to a black TN or the new Moss Crepe wrap neck, and the status chain necklace, you can create outfits to take you anywhere from a brunch with friends to the most elegant restaurant in Paris…….Red and Black always look fabulous under an Ivory jacket, but all colors will look equally great…..The 2 way zip plays peek-a-boo with the color underneath……..Add the Bisque cheetah print shirt for fun with a black bottom of your choice……..The Ebony Trevi necklace and earring add just the right touch…..There is NOTHING like a beautiful IVORY JACKET……………………..enjoy……………much Love………………………Louis
