Help Fashion Buy Local

As you may all know many fashion houses are closing due to the economic situation we are encountering. And I know we all want Prada to delight our eyes, DVF to make our fantasies come true, Balmain to guide us to the future, and Chanel to remember us how classy we can be. So if you want to support this economy try to buy local, check the label of your dress to see if it was produce in the U.S., I know we are not quitting to forever 21 but let's at least try to spend a little more in an item that is going to last longer and wow everyone. Like in Europe they may buy two suits from Balenciaga per season but they are going to use that suit with every accessory that they have, and combine with different pants of jackets, its just about being creative.
I wish you all a happy Wednesday :), and may fashion live forever.

C. MATERIAL/FABRICATION FORECAST

- Since the eco look is one that is rising in the juniors family of business the use of natural fabrics is popular. Other finishes, such as wrinkle, crinkle, bleach, destroyed, washout, and jacquards fabrics are very prevalent for the Spring/Summer 2010 season.

- Since the style focus on nature some yarns like cotton, linen, hemp, bamboo, silk and mixtures, vintage optics. But the more demanding yarns are linen, hemp and bamboo.

- Most of the designs used on fabrics include ethnic stripes since multi-ethnic look is very common on this season too. Other designs such as linen checks and stripes, patchwork checks, tribal afro-graphics, herringbone, bleached floral prints, wax motifs, organic and painted motifs are wide used too for this time of the year.

The big bows are from Diane Von Furstenberg and the Fab Bunny Ears are from Louis Vouitton.

So which trend are your definitely going to wear?
