Trend Flash™ – Atlanta Gift Market

July 13, 2017 By Trend Staff -

Trend Flash is one of many exclusive benefits for Members of The Trend Curve’s subscriber family. Michelle Lamb, Editorial Director, is in Atlanta for this twice-yearly show. Her top trends are below. Watch for more about the Atlanta market in the next issue of The Trend Curve, and follow @trendcurve on Twitter (here) and Instagram (here) for updates.

COLOR

  • Neutrals spread over seasonal categories
  • Off-whites and browns made the biggest statement
  • Gray, which was hot for Christmas five years ago, hinted at a comeback
  • Green/yellow, a past spring duo, tried it again
  • Mixed blues, joined by pale peach, caught the eye in seaside themes
  • Dark plum looked amazing in emerging décor products

MATERIALS AND TEXTURES

  • Grapevine appeared again for Christmas
  • So did foil-wrapped metallic looks
  • Reclaimed, thin styrofoam created the newest springtime texture
  • Rustic looks for galvanized metal declined dramatically
  • Small-scale beaded textures made items like eggs and rabbits interesting
  • Reverse-painted glass, fiberglass and mirror debuted

MOTIFS AND THEMES

  • Fonts for everything got super thin
  • Pigs got more play
  • Sheep did, too
  • Non-committal messages showed up with icons like hearts
  • Decorative folk-art looks emerged
  • Asian design elements pushed ahead more than they have in years
