15 Fashion Trends for 2015
Fashion Week in New York, Milan, London and Paris have given us accurate predictors of what we’ll be wearing in the Spring of 2015. I thought you might enjoy reading about the top 15 trends while you anxiously await for our fashion show in 2015 and our theme announcement!
1. Culottes~ the wide leg cropped pant
2. Color Blocking~ a bold use of contrasting colors
3. Rows of Ruffles~ layers upon layers of ruffles (my personal favorite)
4. Gingham (left)~ Preppies rejoice with the playful geometric prints in dresses and stylish twin-sets. Think picnic plaids.
5. Ribbon Belts (right)~ think stylish Judo closures with bows
6. Fringe~ a boho trend resurfaces
7. All white~ monochrome looks with their own feminine little twists using lots of lace
8. Seventies (right)~ say it isn’t so... the hippie motifs meet the modern accents and harmonize. Think flared trousers and jumpsuits.
9. Bold Florals (left)~ we are talking really large florals
10. Gladiator sandals
11. All Things Sheer (right)~ showing skin through sheer panel
12. Dark denim
13. Black and white or blue and white (left)
14. Scalloped edges (right)
15. Marsala is the pantone color of 2015
~according to Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director, Pantone Color Institute, “Marsala is a subtly seductive shade, one that draws us in to its embracing warmth and it makes for an elegant, grounded statement color”

Portland Art Museum
I also wanted to share an article about a fashion event coming to our Portland Art Museum in February. Portland will be the only West Coast Venue. I will be there for sure for some inspiration for our fashion show.
February 7 – May 3, 2015 Portland Art Museum
This major exhibition will be a glamorous, comprehensive look at Italian Fashion from the end of the Second World War to the present day. Italian Style includes more than 100 ensembles and accessories by leading Italian fashion houses, including Pucci, Valentino, Gucci, Missoni, Giorgio Armani, Dolce & Gabbana, Fendi, Prada, and Versace. The exhibition is organized by the Victoria and Albert Museum, in London.
Wishing all of you a very fashionable New Year!
