Sneak Peek - PRINT TOP - Black, Green or Brick Red!

On the August 1st show I will also be presenting one print….THE LACE PRINT TOP, A257302………Many of the prints I use come from European print studios. Their representatives come into my NYC office and present to me the newest prints of the season, so when I say the prints are European….it’s the designs that are from Europe, and then I sometimes change or alter them to suit the garment I have designed for their use. The top above is 27 inches long for the XS, and the design was configured to fit into all sizes from XXS to 3X without loosing the integrity of the print. The “Lace” print above is one of those selected prints, and it is EXCLUSIVE TO ME and LINEA. It is a PLACEMENT PRINT, which is a specialty of these European design houses. They are extremely popular with all of the European designers and continue to be at the FOREFRONT of what is happening in the print world. This design has a front and back panel of a very INTRICATE lace pattern consisting of PAISLEYS and FERN LEAVES. The side panels and sleeves are a second pattern of an Art Nouveau type flower, geometrically placed. Please notice the change of COLOR and the SHADING on either side of the lace pattern. This was specifically done to SLENDERIZE and ELONGATE. The third pattern on the print top is the BOTTOM BORDER….which finishes the design off, and keeps the above patterns contained. The print in the photo above is called……….BLACK……..but there are wonderful shades of STONE and a warm TAUPE/BROWN on either side of the panel. The fabric is the same poly/span blend as my TILE PRINT top and skirt. This was printed by the same print company that did the tile print, and the execution of this lace print is SUPERB!!!!! BLACK, WALNUT, TAUPE and STONE bottoms can all be worn successfully with this color top. In the photos above I have the top worn with my BLACK WK PENCIL SKIRT, A237412, but wait until you see the top with my NEW STONE WK PENCIL SKIRT [due in Oct.], and the STONE ANIMAL INSTINCTS TIGHTS….[which is how I will present it on the Aug. 1 show...a sneak peek of the skirt]. It truly brings the outfit to a whole other level…… Other women will think you spent a fortune on your outfit….I would recommend wearing a BLACK SUEDE PUMP [heel height isn't important] or a BLACK SUEDE SHOE BOOT or BOOT…..you will be RUNWAY READY!

The third color being offered in the “LACE PRINT TOP”, A257302, is………………BRICK RED…………One of the Linea Ladies, Dariann, described it to me as a MOROCCAN RED, and I think that is very accurate. A Moroccan Red is a RICH DEEP………..EARTHY…..RED………….Again, the Brick Red combination has the same STONE and BLACK as the two other color combinations, but this time the Brick Red is the accent color…..As with all of these Lace print tops….black, taupe and stone can be worn to coordinate. For those of you who have fallen in love with the Brick Red skirt….this top gives you another way to wear it….All you need is a pair of BLACK BOOTS or BLACK SHOE BOOTS….and of course a pair of my new BLACK TIGHTS…..and off you go……Dressing with prints can be as easy as dressing in all solid colors, and I guarantee….the compliments will come…….
