April 12, 2010Trends: Bubblicious – Bubble Skirts
March 3, 2010
The bubble skirt phenomenon may have started in the fall but the trend is carrying over into spring as well. Bubble skirts will continue to be seen in the form of single garments as well as on dresses. They are perfect for glamorous looks but can be dressed down as well. The bubble skirt is a form of draping with a gathered hem. The idea of the look is to create a bubble like appearance on the skirt, thus giving it it’s namesake. H&M and Forever 21 make bubble skirts as does luxe designer Phillip Lim. Paired with the right pieces, such as a fitted tank or sleek cardigan, the bubble skirt offers versatility and style.

Trend Report: Crop Shop

I have a love hate relationship with cropped pants. At times I have worn them and then I have looked back and said, “Okay, what was I thinking?” Well for Pre-Fall 2010 they are back and they’re looking better than ever. Designers like Yves Saint Laurent and Alexander Wang prefer a more glamorous cut, while Dsquared goes for a more casual look. Cropped pants are on the hot list for pre-fall and paired with blazers, a girly blouse and sky-high stilettos, they will make your entrance quite remarkable.

Fashion & Style News: Shoppers Prefer Eco
October 27, 2009
A report by Grail Research confirms that more shoppers are turning toward eco-friendly shopping in apparel and health and beauty markets. The Green Revolution has made a significant impact on the way people shop but it has not convinced everyone.
Many consumers say they simply have not found enough products to their liking to support the green effort and some products are not readily available. It also appears that many consumers equate eco-friendly as items made from recyclable material which is not always true.
The trend is heading toward more eco-friendly apparel but the process is still in its early stages. brands like Zara, H&M and Mark & Spencer have already honed in on eco-friendly apparel. Quite frankly the younger generation is more interested in green purchases than their elder counterparts but textile and apparel industry executives are positive that will turn around.
