Seriously, I’ve never had such a difficult time making a list of textiles to purchase for 2015/16 fashion. A bevy of fashion trends make choosing styles, textures, and attitude difficult.
It’s because of this I’m glad I snagged up that leopard coat in June at my local thrift store for $15. I can’t purchase the fabric for that amount. Oversized capes to animal prints and leather trucker jackets, the fashion runways have been busy showcasing the emerging trends. Colors are refreshing this season reds, browns, camel, chocolate, and if you are not hungry enough already, cranberry red is the featured lingerie color.
I’m thrilled, teal is back on the scene along with ice blue. I have blue eyes and nothing makes me happier and enhancing them. More of my favorites, black, white and bright colors showed in clothing and footwear, for a retro-inspired look. Denim ensembles are a great new addition to mask some of the body flaws of mine with their structured fibers. The seasons choices become better for me as I researched! Charcoal and rich greys were found monochromatically mixed with textures and patterns for interest.
There seems to be something for everyone; pastels, smokey purples, dusty pinks, prints include animal prints. This year’s choice faux fur overscaled herringbone, fox, leopard, giraffe, and oh my goodness butterfly prints. Color blocking (I hope I eventually master) and mixing of prints are stand outs. Florals are huge as are black and white prints, I couldn’t be happier! Take a look at the tribal and ethnic prints below. These hand block printed cottons are perfect for this folky, tribal trend.
So much to share with you! Here’s one of my favorite sites. So much to shop for and design! I’m so excited for us all. ENJOY! More to follow, don’t think for a second this could be the end of the line. 🙂
