………………………..Whisper Knit is the most successful knit fabric I have ever offered. Almost every single style has become a reorder year after year. If you already own them you need no explanation why they are so loved. For those new to Linea Whisper Knit is a very special yarn that is exclusive to my brand. There are other companies that offer rayon/nylon/span blends but none are these exact fibers. When QVC places an order for a sweater, or in this case the dress, we place the order with the yarn mill and it is made for that order……exclusively. This yarn dyes beautifully, and the colors are always saturated. If treated properly it will not pill or shrink, and last for many many years. The base colors, navy, black etc., from year to year, always blend beautifully which allows you to build a wardrobe of base color pieces. This yarn is comfortable to wear and many styles are season-less…….That is why this yarn has been so successful.

………………..The new dress above, A343147 for the reg. and A343148 for the petite, is my latest WK offering…….The color is…..DARK MAGENTA…….The dress has a shallow scoop neckline, not too deep. It has a slim elbow length sleeve, which I consider very CHIC and modern…….This dress has my SWING BODY, with the inset godets at the sides. This is a MIDI dress and is approx. 47 inches for the regular length. The “sweep” of the dress gives the skirt a nice drape of “cones”, but still maintains a slimness over the hips as you can see in the photos. The dress is made in my medium WK in the Every Needle Rib construction. There is weight to the dress, but if you own one of my other WK dresses you already know what to expect. If you loved the other WK dresses than you will LOVE this one too. If WK dresses aren’t for you for what ever reason then I would not suggest purchasing this dress. Since dresses are rarely reordered and a WK dress has never been reordered, I would consider this a one shot deal. Personally, I’m very pleased with how this dress came out, I hope you are too……..To accessorize I have chosen TWO NEW NECKLACES. The center necklace I call the “HARP NECKLACE”. This came from my Anne Klein archives so the original has to be at least 30 years old, and the new one looks as good now as it did then. It will be avail. in the Russian Gold as you see it. The style # is J357131 and will be avail in August. The companion necklace is a continuation of my BYZANTINE group from a few years ago. For some strange reason we were not allowed to call it Byzantine this time around? I think it had something to do the the Byzantine link bracelet. I think they were afraid you’d be confused?! What ever, it’s a beautiful LONG necklace with OVAL ENAMELED beads and multi shaped and multi color station beads. This necklace will be sold as a set with the earring in the photo at the upper left. It has one  color bead and one enamel oval. You can mix these pieces with what you already own……..just play dress up!…….This dress is going to be PRESENTED THIS SATURDAY , August 4th on the Morning show with Leah Williams. The show starts at 7am, but I’m not sure what time I’m on. Remember, this show is on the main channel…………..much Love…………..Louis

…………………..FOREST GREEN…………….is the second new color in the WK dress……Unfortunately, it came out very dark in the photos. It is a very rich saturated color, but by no means will it ever be confused with black. It reminds me of the Highlands in Scotland. I love the way the INDIA PENDANT and the coordinating RED DROP earring looks on the Forest Green……….for my GREEN lovers enjoy, for those of you who don’t have much green in your wardrobes, maybe this is the perfect way to introduce it…….BLACK……BURGUNDY……COGNAC and ESPRESSO BOOTS and foot wear will all work beautifully with the Forest Green. Pull it all together with scarves and accessories………………….enjoy…………………much Love…………..Louis

…………………….I know, another LBD, but they are always the first to sell out! This is a dress made to be accessorized!. It easily can be dressed up or made to look very casual just with the accessories and foot wear you choose…………Above, is my MALTESE CROSS and the COMPANION NECKLACE that WILL COME WITH THE MALTESE CROSS! The style number is J357132. This too is from my Anne Klein archives. They are timeless and always in style…….Is there anything else to say about a LBD?…..They are always fabulous!………….enjoy…………………..much Love……………………..Louis

I woke up this morning, let the girls out to frolic and play, and made my morning cup of tea. I was happy to see the rain has stopped after many many days, and the sun was out. I came to the computer to see the morning mail and read the news…..Then I got to face book! I’ve been hacked! Someone has used my site to spread untrue political garbage! True or not true, I never use any of my media outlets to write anything political or religious! This is not the purpose of my web site or my face book account, and I will not tolerate anyone using my sites to make such statements. I have read so many times about people being hacked, but you never think it will happen to you. My brother’s computer was just recently hacked. They demanded money or they were going to spread vicious rumors about him. My brother told them, in not such nice language, to go ahead and print it. They weren’t going to get a cent from him…To our knowledge they never did….I am very upset by this. I have no idea how many people they have sent this message to using my name!……Please know this…..if ever you see any kind of political statement that was supposedly made by me…..IT WAS NOT. I am truly sorry if this has upset anyone. It has certainly opened my eyes to what can happen. I feel so violated, and the fact that this is totally out of my control is so disturbing to say the least!……………have a wonderful day……………much Love………………..Louis

……….A343938………….is the style number for the……NEW CONTROL TOP TIGHTS!…..They will be available in……..PORT……..LINEA NAVY………LINEA HEATHER CHARCOAL GREY…….&………BLACK……………They will match the new WK PENCIL SKIRTS in NAVY, and PORT and the pencil skirts you already have in HCG and Black…………..For me these are necessary to complete the total look, and achieve a column of color. I think they are necessary with long skirts if you intend to wear shoe boots or boots, and even under pants……..Selling on my Linea Body line has slowed, so it took great convincing on my part to have the buyer purchase them again. If sales are again slow, I doubt they will continue with this division of Linea. It will be up to you if the LB continues. You can always buy the same thing at a well known designer store in NYC, for more money, but the same thing. I’m not allowed to mention the name, but if my line is avail. to you I will let you know where you can get them…..I will always continue to show tights even if I can’t sell them, but it would be nice to be able to continue offering the matching colors…..These will be avail soon so keep an eye out!………………….enjoy…………………………much Love………………………..Louis
