2012 Holiday Season

fabrics that consist of soft silk

GLOVES

Elle.com identified gloves as "the new essential" for lady-

like style for Fall/Winter 201

Gloves are almost always seen as "holiday wear" because

they are a great accessory holiday gift

Gucci, Bottega Veneta, Lanvin, Donna Karan and Jean

Paul Gaultier are already featuring them

We believe this trend will continue to grow in popularity

because of the vintage styles coming to the runways

METALLIC MAKE -UP‘COLOR ME SHIMMERED’

Metallic eyeshadow, nail polish, and lipstick have been

shimmering for decades, including the 60’s and 80’s in large, but

now cosmetics are reaching new heights for the metallic shine

Metallic products are becoming so opaque that they must be

applied in strips

Boldest metallic look coming into play is “Glitzy Lips,”which is an

actual foil applied to lips with adhesive

Holiday Collection Eye Color Palette’s in Metallic are being

created and sold

COLOR

3 Color Trends• Parrot Glam• Fuchsia Fun!• Balance & Preservation

PARROT GLAM

Colors inspired by a parrot carried out into all

aspects of Fashion

Looking at “parrot” reds, blues, and greens

combined

Pantone-“Reds becoming more orange” –like you

can see color change through the parrot’s feathers

FUCHSIA FUN!

Going “back to fuchsia” is the inspiration used by

www.redoitdesign.com. They see and use fuchsia in furniture,

paintings, draperies, pillows, fashion, etc. for 2012

“ Bold, daring and audacious, this is a group of tantalizing

colors that makes no excuses for the attention it creates. Back

to the Fuchsia celebrates the energy generated through the

provocative melding of dancing reds, purples and pink, all

highlighted by a variety of fuchsias,” -Pantone

BALANCE & PRESERVATION

This is a big trend I have seen throughout many sites with mild

blues, grays, and whites for 2012. The whole idea is going back

to the basics and disregarding unnatural and unearthly aspects

“It’s being open to cues from nature, and accepting mind-

bending concepts. It’s proactive and fluid. A real move towards

functionality and a self-sustaining lifestyle.” –

www.yourhomeonlybetter.com

“Tones that spark the imagination.” -Pantone

BALANCE &PRESERVATION CONTINUED

The colors to watch for the Balance & Preservation trend include:

Blueprint inspired hues

Modern neutrals

Layered greens – greens are on the rise with both digital and organic

influences

Whitespace representing a blank canvas

Gray to charcoal to black serve to outline thoughts and design

A staccato of process colors in bold digital hues – pixilated colors

Red and orange as contrasts to grays
