Trend Flash™ New York Int’l Gift Fair

August 21, 2012 By Trend Staff -

Trend Flash is exclusively to subscribers to The Trend Curve™ with immediate updates from each market and trade show we cover worldwide.

Michelle Lamb, Editorial Director for The Trend Curve, has been in New York for the New York International Gift Fair. Her top trend observations are below. For more about the trends in New York, read the next issue of The Trend Curve.

Notable at this show:

COLOR

  • Orange still fascinated
  • Red-cast Purple had emerging support
  • A Peacock revival kept that hue in focus
  • Aqua, a lighter value of Peacock, nevertheless felt basic
  • Cool Greens grew significantly
  • Grays remained top sellers, even as they continued warming

MATERIALS AND TEXTURES

  • Mixed materials hinted at a return for 2013
  • Linen and velvet stayed strong
  • Printed cotton was on a tear
  • Satiny accents emerged
  • Hides saw more action-
  • Embellishments alternated between basic and fascinating

MOTIFS AND THEMES

  • Grillwork and fretwork were unstoppable
  • The same was true for all graphic geometric patterns
  • The exploration of typography continued in earnest
  • Moroccan themes advanced
  • 70’s-80’s looks kept building
  • Vintage-French style had less to say
