Ok, so this news isn't straight from the runway, but close to it! Last week, our corporate buyers returned from a trade show in Las Vegas where all of the latest fashions and hottest designers were on hand to showcase their clothes for the upcoming seasons.
In the process they noted some major fashion trends that were heading our way for Spring and Summer 2010.
Straight from the mouth of our VP of Products, Caitlin...
*Feminine Embellishments: Flirty details on tops and dresses is a major trend for seasons to come. A newly added vendor to our repertoire, Bordeaux stood out with its bejeweled, studded and beaded necklines. These styles can be dressed up with skinny jeans for a night out on the town, or even paired with slacks for a more whimsical work look.
*Draped Silhouettes: We saw A LOT of loose fitting, oversized blouses this year. This trend can go one of two ways: Either it looks way too baggy and offers little to no shape, or it drapes, hugs and swings in all the right places. Sanctuary is an example of a designer that hit the mark when it comes to this "boyfriend tee" look, utilizing rich colors, sheer fabrics and exotic patterns to dress up this potentially frumpy style.
*Military Mania: At nearly every vendor booth we saw something that was reminiscent of a war veteran's garb. BB Dakota, another fresh addition to the T&P vendor list, offered some tough, yet sweet versions of this standout style. Many of the jackets we viewed had strong shoulders, gold roping and masculine cuts.
Enjoy the new trends and look for these new designers in your next Spring order.
Happy Shopping!
