Trend Flash™ – Atlanta Gift Market

January 14, 2019 By Trend Staff -

Trend Flash™ is an exclusive Member benefit for subscribers to The Trend Curve. Editorial Director Michelle Lamb has been in Atlanta trend-spotting seasonal gifts and trim. Her top trends are below.

Read the next issue of The Trend Curve for even more detail, and follow @trendcurve on Twitter (here) and Instagram (here) for additional updates. Notable in Atlanta:

COLOR

  • The blue family impacted fourth-quarter holidays
  • So did middle-value hues
  • Green favored light olive, pistachio and sage over emerald
  • While classic red was right for Christmas…
  • …it couldn’t stay away from black
  • For Halloween and harvest, berry tones inched ahead

MATERIALS AND TEXTURES

  • Fabrics added texture and dimension everywhere
  • Plush was also a factor
  • Lace had some unexpected applications
  • Sequins topped the must-have list of embellishments
  • Finely etched wood looked great
  • Iridescence continued in everyday and seasonal glass

ICONS AND PATTERNS

  • Palm readers emerged for Halloween
  • Halloween characters kept losing their heads
  • Palaces and crowns transformed skeletons into Medieval royalty
  • Llamas showed up for Halloween, joining their Christmas cousins
  • Tin soldiers/nut crackers had more exposure than they have had in years
  • Asian inspiration spread to the Christmas tree
