By: LamanBlu Pantone’s theme for the season is “Wonder” and focuses on artistic drama, sustainability and life balance. Pink continues as a whimsical, fun, spirited and romantic color which blends into a dramatic and bold red by holiday. Whites continue for winter bringing a peaceful innocence. Blues are prevalent as they promote feelings which are trustworthy, calming, dependable, eternal, hopeful. LamanBlu’s color palette for the season reflects these trends and others – encompassing warm yet bright and yummy colors of boysenberry, blackberry, marshmallow, granny smith apple and chocolate – accented with porcelain, mallard, chateau rose and pewter. Trend Bible talks of the Polar Explorer fueling the adventure of imagination. Warm handle and felted fabrics reference a new aesthetic for kids’ products. What better way to stay warm in a snowy climate than in wool hats and fingerless gloves and over the knee socks? Find them in solids, slubs and stripes in furry fibers from wool to alpaca to cashmere. Holiday brings a mood of fantasy inspired by a glamorous haute couture style focused on luxurious and sophisticated fabrics. Soft bamboo contrasted by crisp sparkle organza. Custom printed bamboo fleece in iridescent mica printed snowflakes. Embroidered lace and natural pearl beading bring luxury to any setting. Spin Expo talks of the Passages of Time: “It is a time to move away from playing it safe with the classic and plain. Now is a time to take a stand for being special, unique and therefore creating the desire to own.” It is a time to play, to escape, to explore, to shine! In terms of print trends, Mudpie is reporting concealed lace print designs and digital photo prints still reign. Simple color contrasts remain important as well as the continuing leopard trend. Hand painted and hand printed stripes and snowflakes are dramatic and artistic and play to the do-it-yourself aesthetic. In terms of jewelry – natural beauty of semi precious stones reign.
