Noteworthy in the market:

COLOR

– Orange was the pop color of choice
– Blues, especially combined with White, began to grow
– Greens pushed for recognition—and got it
– Warm Grays dominated neutral trends
– Camel, however, nudged Gray any time it could
– It was one of a series of middle values that was emerging fast

MATERIALS AND TEXTURES

– Oak was chosen for a number of new collections
– Print fabrics had more play than they have in years
– Suggestions of fatigue with microfibers were heard
– Everyone was talking about dry-fabric textures
– Crewel looks made top accents
– Details and trims declined in both size and occurrence

MOTIFS AND THEMES

– Oversized botanicals made a fresh statement
– Plaids grew yet again
– Lattices were large, creatively done and a top accent pattern
– Mid-century style was trying to establish itself
– Transitional got a boost from Scandinavian simplicity
– Vintage looks continued their forward march
