………………The Fuchsia Tweed Jersey separates worked with ANYTHING BLACK……The Fuchsia Whisper Knits were a perfect coordinate.

…………………August 2013 was the official Fall group. There were TEN new items and three reorders…..The new styles were the Ottoman zip front jacket and matching short skirt…..the Heather Tweed Cowl neck pull over and matching maxi skirt….a Ponte knit dress,….a zip front suede jacket with knit collar and sleeves…..a Whisper Knit tunic with a side button detail……a Boucle V-neck tunic sweater…..and an Asymmetrical jacket and pant suit in a brand new fabric…..There were three reorders…..a Leather Blazer….a WK TN and a WK V-neck…..This was a great start to a new Fall season.

………………..The OTTOMAN KNIT FABRIC was brand new to Linea. I had used a similar fabric years ago made for me in Italy for Anne Klein. The only difference was the yarn. The Italian yarn was 100% Virgin Wool and the new yarn was 100% Cotton. You really couldn’t tell the difference from looking at them, and with the Ottoman construction, a horizontal rib, they were both beefy and kept their shape beautifully…..It came in three colors…..Charcoal Heather…..Spruce Green…..and…Black…..It had a zip front ….a shirt collar and pockets. I can’t remember if it was lined or not, but because it was a stretch knit I don’t think it was. It certainly didn’t need to be. The pencil skirt was a pull-on and was a great skirt with the jacket or on its’ own….The BLACK OTTOMAN above, mixed with the Topaz WK, was a wonderful combination along with the Gunmetal cross with the Topaz cabochon center stone.

……………….Spruce Green was always one of my favorite colors. It had a lot of blue in it as opposed to a yellower green. The jacket was a DOUBLE ZIP so you could style it how you liked , and in a way that was most flattering to your body…..The Violet reorder WK TN was the perfect accent to the Spruce Green along with the new PURPLE PEARLS.

………………Dark Heather Grey always looks rich, and in 100% cotton it was truly special. The horizontal band pockets lined up with the horizontal rib of the Ottoman knit. The shape of the jacket allowed you to wear the jacket completely open or zipped in a myriad of ways. The reorder MUSHROOM WK TN looked very chic with the Heather C G……The Gunmetal Love Knot necklace added just the right minimal touch.
