Well, the days are getting shorter but the memories of this summer will long live in our minds. We saw events that have not been seen for years, if ever, but we were still blessed with the most important commodity; our health and lives! So, back to FASHION! May the Fall Season be one filled with FUN!
In case you are in need of some color inspiration for Fall 2012, we now have our Color Trend boards online at WeConnectFashion.com. You can also Click Here to schedule an appointment to view our color palettes in person if you are in the LA or NYC area.
COLOR IS WHERE FASHION BEGINS!
With the Fashion's Night Out, as the official kick-off of NYC Fashion week, style is definitely in the air everywhere! Around every corner, newsstands are loaded with the ever-so cumbersome September issues chock full of the "must have" fashion and accessories for fall. Retailers and designers across the globe, gear up of this annual event which has all the promise to jump start the shopping season with flair and pizzazz!
Mix and mingle with FASHION's elite on a night filled with designers, celebrities, entertainment and most importantly AMAZING shopping!!!!
Les Jeans de Chanel collection
Created exclusively for Fashion's Night Out, the three-polish range comprises of Blue Rebel (a deep denim hue), Coco Blue (a pretty sky blue) and Blue Boy (classic denim). The range of Blue has always been our strongest re-order range and this comes as no surprise!
FALL INTO COLOR
Could you think of a better way to carry summer's HOT hues forward into autumn than with bold colored leather? The days of boring brown and black are long gone.
From chic clutches to trendy pea coats and beyond, leather in every color of the rainbow is a must! Step out of the box this year…let your true colors show.
Dying for Denim
Celebs everywhere have been spotted sporting the hottest trend in denim: skinny and COLORED! These brilliant bottoms have been flying off the racks and making powerful statements on the streets. This item is a must in every wardrobe.
J Brand colored denim
Whether we are ready or not, cooler weather is upon us. The start of September signals that autumn is right around the corner. Since we are spending more time indoors, let’s fill our home with festive colors that get us ready for fall. Emerald green, plummy purple, and bright yellow are this month’s most popular hues.
Before the leaves turn other colors, surround yourself with saturated shades of green. A curving couch is covered in plush peridot velvet. Bundle your little kiddie up in a kelly green overcoat. Green glass earrings are flecked with bits of gold. Wipe your rain boots on a rug woven of strands of emerald and clover yarn.
Jewel-toned purple is popping up in stores everywhere this month. Serve the last of summer’s corn in an amethyst bowl. When chilly winds blow, reach for a slouchy knit beret. An ultra-modern chair is upholstered in eggplant microsuede. Kick off the school year in a pair of strappy violet wedges.
Celebrate the last flickers of summer sunshine with warm yellow. A toss pillow brightens a dark sofa. Strips of raw-edged silks are sewn together into a light yellow skirt. Place a hot cup of cider on a cheery side table. Textbooks fit nicely in a lemon yellow shoulder bag.
Temperatures are heading south, meaning summer is coming to a close. With September here, put away your summer décor and break out the fall accessories. New items are lining the shelves in shades of deep green, dark purple, and primary yellow. Enjoy the changing of the seasons with a change in accents for your home and wardrobe.
Wishing you a Colorful Fall Season!

Spring 2012 Trend Forecasts by Design Options, Inc
September 11, 10 years ago and we’re still here, cutting, designing, selling, schlepping, hoping and still dreaming.
I’m heading back to Shanghai where the home market is growing at an expediential rate. This international market has started to become much more aggressive in gaining a share of the U.S. market. In the U.S. we’re seeing much more activity in startup companies, from children’s wear to doggy fashion…lol! Momentum is back, people are excited and America has been financially downgraded on the global market. What’s up with that? Here in Los Angeles there are hundreds of micro manufacturers trying to keep up with the orders and they’re doing all the work here in the United States of America, can you even believe this nonsense, not importing and still making a living! Ok, so let’s stop calling it disposable clothing, let’s title it “Retail 2011”. You know the name of the retailer(s), you’ve been inside their stores and some of those others that are like them, but with a bit more sophistication and they’re all doing business, why? Decrease margins, increase sales, it’s a no brainer right? So, keep your vendors close, your quality good and your costs competitive.
You know what China’s up and coming market is … China, that’s right, you see the middle class has become much stronger now and you know why... because they manufacture in their own country and reap the benefits. Now China’s manufactures are now selling more products in their own backyard than ever.
Let’s do what China has done for years … copy us but this time let’s start keeping the business here and watch what that action can do nationally.
Good business to all.
