As discussed in class, some designers are keeping our earth in mind. The upcycling theme and using organic cotton seems to be very popular. An individual can be fashion forward and eco-friendly at the same time. Here we have an Organic Trench Coat by John Patrick. This look can be yours for $550.

ELLY CLAY

So  last week students gave trend reports of numerous of trend categories for the USA. Today I stumbled over a on trend that is becoming popular, the quilted platform bootie with a serious platform. This wedge isn't just any wedge Elly Clay has done, this wedge simple has a constructive free form curve to allow the unique construction to become a little more different from your average wedge. **TURQUOISE WILSON**

the prep look.

all around me i see the prep look, in my hometown in NJ and here in Philadelphia. the prep look is even taking over my favorite shopping site, Etsy.com Etsy is a site for unusual, handmade and vintage items and now they have become very trendy. scrolling through this week i saw all sorts of examples of the prep trend both classic and nautical, being as that is a big trend right now too among the youth. so if you want to adopt this trend you can do it with etsy for cheap.

"The Prep Trend"

This week in class we talked about the Prep trend. The Prep trend is especially popular right now. When I think of preppy I automatically think Ralph Lauren or J. Crew. The picture above is a perfect example of Ralph Lauren's Prep look. You have the oversized scarf, fitted cardigan, slim pant and flip flops.
