LamanBlu Releases its Fall / Winter 2010 Trend Lookbook

Dec. 26, 2009 - PRLog -- According to Pantone, they key theme for Fall 2010 is Mosaic.  “Our world is a rich mosaic, born from varying elements that create a whole.  Mosaics can reflect cultural, geographical and political differences, yet still coordinate all these disparate themes.  Mosaics are a practical and eco-efficient way of integrating previously used elements or materials to create something new and unique.”  (Pantone)  While mosaics are a record of the past, we continue to re-invent them for the future.  LamanBlu has old world charm, but yet is not vintage.  They provide timeless “vintage alternative” styling with an eco-chic sentiment.  
What does this mean for you?  Wondering what’s going to be in style for Fall and Winter 2010?  Here’s LamanBlu’s take on the trends for the season.  Visit their website at www.LamanBlu.com/Gallery.htm to see their Fall / Winter 2010 Trend Lookbook.  Now, for a peek at the trends:

Reflection
Reflecting Surfaces – water reflection and reflecting pools – seeing ourselves as we are and as we want to be.  The ice, snow and the beauty of lights reflecting off the new fallen snow.  Ice crystals – they sparkle as brightly as any jewel.  The beauty of the experience of being.  Liquid Modernity.  Eco-Fashion – from concept through execution.  Warmth, comfort, caring and thoughtfulness are brought to mind.  We are reflecting not only on our choices, and the eco-impact they have, but how we rethink fashion.  Vintage inspiration combined with totally new ideas is the core of the season.  Nouveau Niche!

Exotic India
The theme of Connection and Exotic Beauty is what brings us to India for this season.  Connection – “India is a land of diversities and among all these diversities we see unity.  Unity which binds us together.  Which makes us feel as one.  Which encourages us.”  (Thinkquest)  Indian style is eclectic, weaving together influences from many regions and cultures.  The range of traditional and modern designs found in India is astounding.  Brilliant color schemes are symbolic and often correlate to the basic elements of air (white or silver), water (blue), and fire (red, pink, orange, yellow).  It’s glamorously artistic!  From the Indian inspired prints and embroideries to Indian inspired styling, both traditional and new.  We embrace humble luxury.

Avani
The Mosaic of Connections – the trend of the season.  We are on a journey in connection.  Emotive, inventive, useful.  The beauty of nature and natural fabrications.  Hand printed for a sustainable ethos.  Luxury is about experience.  Vintage redone – Nouveau Niche.  Avani means “earth” in Sanskrit.  Elemental colors which are innovations of the future while remembering the past.  Vintage, but not.  Colour washed tones of the sky at dusk and the pale pink of dawn.  An homage to our home, earth.
