Happy New Year to everyone.
This time of year prompts me to think about all the new trends and the fresh possibilities they bring.
It's exciting to try something new, a stitch you've never encountered before or a colour combination you noted and liked. It's all good and gets the creative juices flowing.
One aspect of my job that I loved was attending the Colour Marketing Group Conferences. Groups from every industry and every department you could think of within each of the industries would sit down and collectively agree upon and determine the colour story and trends for the future. To my amazement, the story boards created in each group had similar themes. It was so much fun and you came back to work motivated and re-energized.
Graphicmania is a pattern trend of strong, graphic 70's patterns, particularly in black and white. We've already seen strong patterns highlighted in some collections this past fall. This trend continues into S/S '13 and F/W '13.

Trendspotting - Colour

Trendspotting - Colour Burgundy
Burgundy has to be one of the richest colours in fashion, especially when it is a dark wine or bordeaux. Of course friends may attribute this not so much to my love of fashion, but to my liking the flowing kind of wine.
Nina Garcia ( judge on "Project Runway" and high muckety muck at Marie Claire ) has declared burgundy the new black. So, whether I'm wearing the colour or admiring it in a glass, it is the "it" colour for fall.

Trendspotting - It's a Wrap

Trenspotting - It's a Wrap
I've always found scarves and wraps to be an important accessory. Although they can be an afterthought and thrown on to keep out the cold, a scarf can transform your entire look. They are warm and comfortable, stylish and beautiful.
So many colours and textures are available and tempting to inspire you this fall. Long and wide, the scarf or wrap covers your coat. What's even better, these wonderful scarves can be knit, crocheted or sewn and are the perfect first project for beginners.
