………………………For Sept. 2013 there were NINE NEW ITEMS, and FOUR REORDERS…….Out of the nine new items four of them were jackets, and I couldn’t have been happier with them…..Starting from the top row, far left is a cad of the the styles and reorders……The center top sketch is of a men’s wear check single button longer blazer with contrast collar and piping above the slanted flap pockets. It was avail. in two combinations…..a brown/camel combo with sienna accents and a navy/grey combo with burgundy. To coordinate with the blazer there was a wonderful zip front slim pant in the same fabric as the collar and piping….in the brown and navy. This was a wonderful new weighty stretch fabric very similar to the tuxedo jacket and my 2 button blazer……The quilted vest had a zip front and a stand collar. It came in cadet blue and walnut, and looked great under the check blazer with one of the WK reorder turtlenecks…It was in a matte satin fabric……Below the vest is an Every Needle Rib tunic cardigan in acrylic and wool. It had side slits and came in lilac and graphite…….Below the cardigan was a new blouse in a crepe fabric. It came in smoke and lilac and coordinated with the TWEED BLAZER……….At the extreme left of the bottom row was my PONTE KNIT “HOODIE” three button BLAZER. It had a top yoke and lots of seaming for shape, plus topstitching details and band pockets. I thought it was a wonderfully unique combination of a hoodie and a blazer for a more casual tailored look……Next the relaxed two button jacket was in a fabulous new TWEED that looked like many of the fabrics I would find in Paris for my Anne Klein Couture Collection. It was woven in a beautiful combinations of yarns and colors. It was avail in three different combinations…..Violet, Sienna and Raspberry. The next top, again was in a very unique and beautiful fabric. It was a “plush burnout” in a floral pattern. This stretch knit came in two colors….raspberry with a black background, and sienna also with a black background. This top looked great under the tweed jackets for a very unexpected, but very designer look….Lastly was the new BOUCLE LOOP JACKET. This fabric had lots of texture and dimension. It gave the drop sleeve jacket a marvelous shape….It came in RUBY….MALACHITE…..and LAPIS…..which were preview colors of what was to come the following month…..There were THREE WK reorders and a crepe blouse with self fabric tie streamers………..The fall season was in full swing!
