Now more than ever, women are vigilant when it comes to spending. Instead of re-inventing their wardrobe at the start of each season, consumers want pieces to complement what they already own. Pairing a bold color with a basic piece or freshening up their look with bright accents addresses the need for practicality, as well as fun.
While in Vegas, we attended a seminar presented by Pantone,the global authority on color and provider of professional color standards for the design industries. For Spring/Summer 2010 designers will bring splashes of sunshine to the runway. Vibrant brights add a sense of excitement to the color palette, while practical neutrals provide a safety net for cautious consumers. Look for bright oranges and corals worn with taupe as the background. Blue as a base for hot colors such as bright pink poppy and golden rich tangerine.
The fashion industry is very exciting and goes far beyond fabrics, wood and metal. There is something in the air when people in the industry come together. Both, Buyers and Sellers alike are dead serious about the products that are presented to the consumer. Take a look at some of the pictures from the show (above). The look on most of the faces is serious, with very few smiles found in between. Personally speaking, I take how I look serious and get a personal fulfillment from providing Ladell's customers with unique, quality and affordable fashion accessories.
