In the midst of this Winter season,there has been a noticeable presence in bulky sweaters,cable knits,oversized cardigans, and cozy furs. The strongest must have trend is coming from Fair Isle patterns!
Once thought of as “on the verge of tacky” holiday themed patterns, a.k.a. Fair Isles, have made quite a comeback in nearly every market, and on everything from accessories and apparel to home items. Runway designers have helped popularize Fair Isles this Fall 2010 season in their Womens and Menswear lines and we are loving it!
The traditional knitting technique originated in a tiny isle off northern Scotland and has remained unscathed throughout decades!

Polka dots are everywhere! From large scale to dainty miniature sized, dots have gotten the star treatment on everything from rompers to dresses and separates for next season.
The 1950’s was a major period for this pattern with pin-up styles advocating it, and icons such as Lucille Ball, Jackie-O, Marilyn Monroe, and Grace Kelly making it a fashion statement in everything from dresses to accessories!
Modern day dots are straying away from its classic reputation by getting re-interpreted in pop colors!

We are happy to report that we got a few emails regarding our Africa post that we went ahead and put together a board with corresponding prints and knit patterns relating to this trend!

We all know that African tribal-wear is trending hard, but have you ever really looked into exactly what factors may have contributed in making this a trend to start with?
Meet 3 influential photographers that drew us in….
Phyllis Galembo Photography
Phyllis Galembo is mostly known for her photographic documentation of native tribes. We were attracted to her most recent work of photographing West African tribes in ritual adornment for mainly religious purposes. Check out the fully bodied costumes composed of geometric patterns, stripes, and colorful zig zags.
Hans Silvester Photography
German photographer, Hans Silvester caught our attention with his beautiful and emotional work depicting the temporary bodily decoration by tribes in southern Ethiopia. The people of the Omo Valley, use flora and fauna to embellish their faces and body with perfectly composed color palettes and finger painted motifs that can easily inspire a fresh take on textile designs.
Herring & Herring Photography
The photographers at Herring & Herring focus on fashion photography, but we came across their Tribal shoot and we were instantly mesmerized by how they took the tribal concept to an extreme of colors and patterns. Amazing.

It’s no secret that 70’s is going to be a major hit for S/S 2011. During Fashion Week NY and Milan, designers have shown a particular interest in going retro by using unique colorways, silhouettes, and accessories in defining the groovy decade.
We searched through our archives and found a vintage issue of Vogue dating back to 1970! Check out this spread we found featuring a strong focus on bold and graphic prints of the time. We love the cartoon aspect and bright colors! This time period has a lot to offer for fresh new takes in prints, graphics and cool motifs.
