Trend Flash™ – Showtime June 2015

June 1, 2015 By Trend Staff -

showtime2015Trend Flash is an exclusive Member benefit for The Trend Curve’s subscriber family. Susan Andrews is in High Point for the semi-annual Showtime textiles market. Her top-line trends are below.

Watch the Members area online for more from this directional market.

COLOR

  • Mineral shades made organic mid-tones more important
  • Ethereal, atmospheric pales—abalone, pearl, cloud—were on-trend
  • The blue family was everywhere and in every shade
  • Orange gained, perfectly complementing blue from across the color wheel
  • Newly neutral green was highly versatile, particularly in small-scale patterns that read as plains
  • Pistachio popped up from popularly priced lines to the high end
  • A growing range of subtle-yet-meaningful reds perfectly evoked henna tattoos, sangria punch and artisan dyes
  • The newest neutrals reached for golden tendencies to favor warmer metals

 TEXTURES, WEAVES

  • Texture drove newness
  • Enhanced yarns and richly layered patterns were top vehicles for textural expression
  • Distressed, aged and weathered textures also increased in popularity
  • Linen or linen-like ground cloths added another element of texture
  • Complex matelassés derived additional dimension via contrast
  • Tapestries looked lush and dense, but less bound by traditional placement of elements

MOTIFS

  • Patterns, like colors, layered freely in prints and wovens
  • Returning positive/negative contrast created lovely tension
  • So did pairing masculine and feminine
  • Hand-drawn lines and brushstrokes were artfully juxtaposed in non-directional patterns
  • Ethnic motifs, while still strong, became more modern and less-specific
  • Juvenile patterns evolved to charming novelties with sophisticated top notes
