“THE TROPICAL PRINT”

………………..The tropical print was named “BLUE ORCHID”. The colors were a combination of deep navy, vivid blue and white. The ETRO Company created it for me on beautiful Italian silk. There was a wrap shirt, a pair of walking shorts and a fully lined and tailored blazer which is worn here with white linen trousers and a deep navy tank…..Of course the print shirt and shorts could have been worn with other solid pieces, but together gave the look of a short jumpsuit without the confines of a jumpsuit…..It was really special.

    Did ETRO make scarves? I feel like I have or had scarves with that name on the label. ???

    I’m having a serious case of blazer envy! Louis, the print is fantastic. I can only imagine the amazing feel of the fabric. As I’ve said many times during your retrospective, I really wish this outfit was hanging in my closet.

    Why is that so often after seeing your designs, the very first word that comes to mind — after thinking the word “beautiful” — is “timeless”?

    You are a craftsman of the first order, Louis. Wow!

      Maybe because they were designed 30 years ago…but look like they were designed yesterday?

        That’s the answer, Louis. You hit the nail on the head!

        Enviable work…
