ABC Kids’ Expo

October 13, 2010 By Trend Staff -

Trend Flash emails are an exclusive member benefit for subscriber/Members to The Trend Curve™ newsletter. They provide you with top-line trends from every market and trade fair our editorial team attends.

Jane Kitchen, Editorial Correspondent for The Trend Curve was in Las Vegas for the annual ABC Kids’ Expo. Her top-line trends are below, but you can read more details in the next issue of The Trend Curve.

COLOR
– Green reigned supreme – Lime, Kiwi, Fern, Grass
– Orange stayed strong, but in burnt and muted tones
– Dusty Pinks and Gray-cast Blues spoke subtly to gender
– Other Blues reflected water
– Neutrals leant an organic and genderless feel
– Plums and soft Lavenders were feminine without being girly

TEXTURES AND MATERIALS
– Organic cottons were on everyone’s mind
– Natural weaves like linen, wool, and even felt made themselves heard
– Lush, soft fabrics like velvet made a comeback
– Natural dyes in muted tones spoke up loud and clear
– Wide-wale corduroys created a retro-feel

MOTIF AND PATTERN
– Retro graphic prints evoked nostalgia
– Animal silhouettes made for sweet baby themes with a modern twist
– Birds soared – owls, robins, bluebirds, doves all made an appearance
– Modern, graphic patterns with a hint of the natural world combined the best of two trends
– Moroccan influences showed up in more-intricate patterns
