Large Floral Trend: this spring is all about large floral statements! We’ve rolled it out slowly with some subtle selections that speak to the trend without shouting. Manderley is a two-tone printed cotton twill. Deep mint green and ivory partner to make a spring fresh statement.
Join the large floral trend!
How to wear it? This sturdy cotton twill will make up well in jackets, capri pants or skirts. Use the floral in its fullest display or break it up with seams to make it less conspicuous.
If you are timid about wearing the flowers so prominently, then we suggest one of our newest rayon prints that offer large motifs in tone on tone shades for a muted presentation.
How to wear it? Let these prints do all the talking in a drapey dress, skirt or flowing separates! Very tropical!
- Tranquility–Watery green tones
So you’ll be seeing a lot more from us on this trend as we continue to roll out our spring offerings. Stay tuned!
Serenity--Sky Tones of Blue
When fashion is taken to extremes there is always a sub-trend going on in the opposite direction forming polarity.
The mood for fall dressing is soft, drapey, and relaxed. In other words, velvet, especially stretch velvet, is key. It’s glam, feels great to wear, and has romance appeal. What other fabric can do all that? What is also nice is the versatility. Dress it down as a wrap top with your favorite jeans, funk it up with hot color and wear it as a comfy scarf with your fav jacket, or swish it around as a romantic skirt or soft flounced romantic femme fatale top.
Leopardess (shown) – Join the fun with these delectable silk jersey knits in blue and plum. The pattern from nature is there, but the colors are pure fashion! 
Summer 2007 is definitely flirty and feminine with skirts replacing shorts in many venues! Whether you choose prints or solids, be sure you use a fabric with drape — 
Paisleys never quite go away but some years they emerge as THE motif of the season. This is one of those years! Use the paisley print reservedly for the best fashion impact.
Soft and flowing, georgette is a semi-sheer fabric that is reigning supreme in the marketplace right now. Since ruffles are here to stay this spring, you’ll see lots of soft, drapeable prints that fall gently into ribbons (flounces) down the front of dresses and blouses or peak out from beneath straight or a-line skirt to make a subtle but flirtatious statement. For semi-sheer prints, see Effervescence, and look for Spright next week.
From flowing and feminine we switch to everyday sporty. This trend is evident throughout the ready-to-wear collections this spring.
You’ll be hearing a lot about metallics this season. Silver will be key, but gold, bronze and copper all play a role. We found this little gem in the marketplace that combines the metallic trend with the ever-popular cotton eyelet! Think tiered skirts with black or colorful tee tops, or use it for a bolero style jacket to top a basic black knit dress.
