I love reading Pantone’s Color Trend reports for the Spring and Fall fashions. The 2008 Spring report has been out for a while, but now is when my mind turns toward the season.
Trends from the Designing Divas Blog:
*Blackened Metals – designing with chain is still going strong
*Textures – whether hammered metal, fibers or facets, textures are big.
*Charms – vintage inspired, birds, floral
