Faux Fur

Every women desires to own her own fur whether it be jacket or trench coat. There have been many replicas of real fur so that you can obtain the same look seen on the runway or television. Faux fur is present in many stores this season from Hnm, forever 21 to arden b. I work in Arden B on walnut street and we have received many different assortments of fur jackets,coats, as well as vests all being Faux Fur. Many women are eager to have this look. - Hannah Elliott

On the Runway in Paris

Here are looks for spring 2011 off the Parisian runways. I liked a lot of what I saw, a fresh breath of air with neutrals and calm colors and prints, and a lot of sheer fabrics. I have to say that Lanvin (mid image) was definitely one of my favorites, as well as, Van Noten (top image) and YSL (bottom image).

Natural Wood, White Walls, Brushed Chrome

Crooks and Castles



Abakus




These two stores are on trend with the layout of their stores. The first store is Crooks and Castles and they have the Natural wood, white walls and brushed chrome although the second store Abakus has similar features they have that one pop of color with their red walls. These two stores are both on trend with their simplicity in style of their layouts.

Eyewear: Circles, Ovals, & Squares In, Rectangles Out

This week during glass we discussed current eyewear trends. Since I love sunglasses I went home and did a little research. One of my favorite designer duos are identical twin brothers, Dean and Dan, of Dsquared2. Both their men's and women's collections had circular, ovulate, and squared styles. My favorite are the women's Shiny Rose Gold, I encourage everyone to out their site. Their clothes are on point, too. HINTHINT.

Men's "Tuck in Boots"

In last weeks class, we discussed some current trends in men's fashion I had been walking down walnut st. and came across the display window at the Diesel store. Our weekly research project requires for us to give our opinion on how the current trends will effect buying patterns. Buying patterns have managed to change due to this trend in men's sportswear. The concepts are no longer just seen on the runway but are now available to the average consumer, in retail stores such as Diesel. - Hannah Elliott

Celebrity

In these various pictures I feel they have some similarities to the subjects in the trend sites we viewed in class on 10/11/10. The first picture with Lala Vazques portrays the check mate trend. I feel that her outfit is very suddle and the white helps to bring out her shirt which is in this stripped pattern. The second picture of Rhianna shows the lace with some paisley trends on her dress and the last picture would portray the preppy polo look. As well as the glasses that Lala and the guy in the polo trend are wearing also fit into a trend of this round and square bottom frame like Ray Bans.

shoe trend

Last night my friend came over to show me the shoes that she just got, Steve Madden booties and Kenneth Cole Reaction pumps. After looking at them for a little bit I realized that they fit into the trend category that we were talking about on week 1. The shoes are not wing tipped, but both of the shoes slightly rise up in the front just like all the shoes we looked at on our first week. The shoes that we looked at in class were men shoes, so this isn't just a trend in men shoes it is also a trend in women shoes. -Jennifer Little
