Trends: Naturally Navajo

One of the trends that I noticed pop up during the Pre-Fall 2010 collections was in interest in the patterns, textures and colors of the Navajo Native American people. It may be subtle, like the fabric at Derek Lam and Matthew Williamson that is reminiscent of Navajo weaving & rugs. It could be playful and graphic like at Louis Vuitton or it could be almost literal like at Nicole Miller. The look seems to led itself to being paired with texture whether it be fur, fringe or feathers. One thing is clear, Navajo is hot so be on the lookout!

Trends: Olive

I was recently looking at the Pre-Fall 2010 collections and I noticed a growing use of the color Olive. It's being used for a multitude of styles and should no longer be limited to fatigues. From sharp tailored looks at Burberry Prorsum, J. Mendel and Jason Wu; to casual looks at Zero + Maria Cornejo; to evening elegance at Donna Karan and Devi Kroell. Watch out for olive, coming to your closet soon.
