“SEPTEMBER 07 DAY SHOW”

…………………The Sept presentation was done in two parts….a Midnight show and a Day show. This is part of the Day Show…….This was a fabulous show with FOUR JACKETS, and one sweater, but there were plenty of reorders to balance out the presentation…….Starting at the left top is a jacket in a brand new fabric….I called it “POODLE CLOTH”. It was a sort of Boucle, but it was slightly thicker with a more pronounced texture. Due to the Acrylic blended with the wool it was very soft and cuddly. The neckline, front and all of the hems were trimmed in suede. The suede had grommets and there was a suede cord whip stitching all around the jacket. It was approx. 26 inches long, had band pockets and had hook and eye closures down the front. The jacket came in a rich deep purple and a color I called “TWIG” which was a brown with a little grey in it……..The next jacket was in a deep rich COPPER METALLIC LEATHER. It had matching Copper snaps down the front, on the stand collar and on the sleeves. There were copper side zippers. There were pocket flaps with the same snaps. I just recently gave my niece a slew of samples. She’s an xxs xs and 5’9″ so she fits perfectly. She’s a young mother of THREE BOYS!….She said “wait till the boys see me in this”………The next jacket was in a RICH BROCADE fabric…..This type of fabric didn’t come along often, and certainly not one as beautiful as this at a price I could afford………..The Black was a very FINE CHENILLE yarn and the pattern was in a muted metallic yarn woven with a fine nylon or poly for support. The way the design was woven created dimension with raised stitches….so the effect was VERY VERY RICH…The jacket had a flat shirt collar with a back half moon stand, a raglan sleeve and a slight swing A-line body. It was offered in the one color….Black and Antique Brass. It must have been a costly jacket to only have offered it in one color…….The sweater below was in a beautifully blend of SILK/ CASHMERE and LYCRA. It came in Black and Purple. I had offered this style sweater many times on my AK collection. It was basically a wide straight tube that could be pulled up into a hood for when it was really cold outside. It kept you cozy warm, and in this blend it was super soft against the skin………or you could wear it down as a lush cowl neck. Angela still has this sweater and it still looks great. It’s one of her favorites!…………The next and last jacket was in another new and special fabric. It was made in a very pronounced NUBBY wool and poly blend. The nubs were made of wool and the fine black background was a polyester yarn that held it together and gave the fabric strength.. You really can’t tell from the photos just how beautiful this fabric was……The body of the jacket was a COCOON SHAPE….no armholes that I remember, and if there were they were very dropped…….All of the trims were in a BLACK wool and acrylic 3 gauge RIB KNIT so they balanced well with the fabric.. It gave the jacket the look of a big comfortable sweater!…..The colors were CHOCOLATE wool with BLACK TRIMS, and TAUPE wool. with BLACK TRIMS. They both had black buttons.
