A splendid statement of unflawed fashion. . . Full Spectrum. Bold shades of royal blue give brilliance and astonishing beauty to bright red floral impressions. Magenta and turquoise tones of chromatic sequence and panoramic scale radiate embellished silhouettes. Lavish trim of silken ribbon add a touch of demure to vivid purple undertones. Soft and silken textures indicate pure elements of divine femininity. A dramatic and all-encompassing allure. . . Full Spectrum.




The most tasteful rush of adrenaline. . . Sugar Rush. Vivid shades of powder pink are meticulously counterbalanced with ultra-feminine tones of baby blue. Vivid sea foam green elements of sweeten the pot represent immaculate style and purity of heart. Peach and light purple undertones of honeybunch and sweetie pie display detailed ingenuity on a backdrop of playful deliberations. Sugar coated goodness from the fashion gods. . .Sugar Rush.





Made to order and custom fit. . . Nude Couture. Lavish and luxurious white saturations of haute couture indicate prestige and prominence while highlighting exquisitely spun boucle. Silken black contours of Versailles demand unyielding attention. Deep brown shades of courtier intermingle graciously with faint flecks of ivory to evoke a feeling of unrestrained sensuality. Impeccable fashion that is never underrated. . . Nude Couture.

TRENDS // FASHION SNOOPS . S/S 2014 WOMEN'S

Here is a preview of FASHION SNOOPS',  Spring/Summer 2014 trends.  Fashion Snoop is an online forecasting trend service that reports on color, design themes, key items, details, etc., for women's, men's, kid's and accessories.  To learn more and subscribe to their services, go here to view their amazing site and check out their inspiring blog. You can also purchase a full report of each of the key trends  here



  EDIE SEDGWICK  
While the 60's has been a popular expression for the past few seasons, we have never seen it appear so graphic with a strict monochromatic palette.  In keeping with traditional silhouettes of the favored era, boxy and shift shapes move forward and allow prints and patterns to take center stage.



  SPICE TRAIL  
Recent ethnic inspirations have included a nod to the Orient as well s Global Awakening, with a much more diverse pop culture influence.  Spice Trail keys into the exotic lands of Morocco and India with rich material conversations like jacquard to heavy embellished details.  Silhouettes speak to tradition with items like tunics and sarouel pants, while tribal patterns play up classics like tailored jackets.



  AMERICAN PIE  
Last season we saw Americana expressed in a vision of the West with Cowgirl and prairie elements. For Spring 2014, American Pie brightens up the message with a picnic friendly look inclusive of gingham and patchwork and youthful separates like overalls.



  GROWN UP GRUNGE  
Most recently we've seen grunge apply to the women's market with a Soft Grunge approach, inclusive of pastel hues for an overall pretty appearance.  Spring 14 takes a decidedly Grown Up approach combining a melange of materials and items like maxis and peplum tops for a sophisticated sensibility.
