Trend Flash™ – Showtime Textiles Market 6/16

June 6, 2016 By Trend Staff -

showtimeTrend Flash is one of many exclusive benefits for Members of The Trend Curve’s subscriber family. Michelle Lamb, Editorial Director, is currently at Showtime. Her top trends are below.

COLOR

  • The number of blues hit an all-time high
  • Denim-inspired glacier and turquoise types drove new collections
  • Greens were emerging, especially on the warm side
  • Browns made a statement
  • They often mixed with volume grays
  • Hot pink popped as an accent
  • Black/white duos were at the core of both neutral and colorful palettes

MATERIALS AND TEXTURES

  • Chenille surged, but only as an accent
  • Heathered yarns leapt ahead as part of the texture trend
  • Combined textures had even more status than before
  • Metallic and shine took another step back
  • Ombré effects were less obvious
  • On the watch list: matelasse

ICONS AND PATTERNS

  • Geometrics came in two types, optic and organic
  • Updated ikats were hot
  • So was anything that looked like a cleaned-up, African-tribal design
  • Shibori inspiration raced ahead
  • Tropical looks gathered momentum
  • Mid-century inspired new patterns, but became far less overt
