Trend Flash™ Showtime Textiles Market June 2010

June 7, 2010 By Trend Staff -

Trend Flash is exclusively for members of The Trend Curve ™ subscriber family with immediate updates from major markets and trade shows around the globe. I’m in High Point for the semi-annual Showtime textiles market. Look below for top-line trends, and read a future issue of The Trend Curve for more details and images.

Noteworthy at Showtime:

COLOR
– Grays outperformed Browns in many assortments
– Tomato made Reds feel fresh
– New Blues kept the focus on Red casts
– Pear moved toward the mainstream; Olive emerged
– Purple went complex or Blue cast as it declined
– People talked about light values, but showed few of them

TEXTURES AND MATERIALS
– Dry hands did not lose ground
– Worn and etched looks both advanced
– Multiplicity was key for wovens: yarns, weave techniques, patterns, colors
– Lurex®/metallic accented fabric and leather
– Linen retained its top spot by bulking up
– Matelassé had more play

PATTERNS AND MOTIFS
– Non was the market’s most prevalent adjective for motifs
– Dots upped their sophistication
– New stripes refused to stay linear
– Ikat effects spread over lots of motifs
– Traditional icons got another round of modern makeovers
