COLOUR OF THE YEAR 2011
While the 2010 color of the year, PANTONE 15-5519 Turquoise, served as an escape for many, Honeysuckle
emboldens us to face everyday troubles with verve and vigor. A dynamic reddish pink, Honeysuckle is encouraging and
uplifting. It elevates our psyche beyond escape, instilling the confidence, courage and spirit to meet the exhaustive
challenges that have become part of everyday life.
it showed up on miles of spring 2011 runways, from Jil Sander to Valentino to DKNY. This signature pink also loved to pair up with other brights like aqua and orange or offering some bold contrast to more neutral tones like khaki and sand.

TRENDS JANUARY 2011
E-commerce
Despite companies from Slowear to Hermès expanding their global retail presence during the
upcoming year, bricks-and-mortar boutiques will face steep competition in 2011 from the
e-commerce industry. With sales having increased by 11.4% over the first two weeks
of November 2010 alone, e-commerce is one of the fastest growing sectors in retail. And,
this year it’s the men’s market that will see the greatest change.
Understanding the male consumer online will be a challenge. While men typically buy less frequently than the female consumer, they tend to spend more on each purchase.

Together Bag: The Canvas Anti-Status Symbol
The novel idea of scanning each
surface of the Birkin, then printing the
images onto an ordinary canvas tote
bag resulted in a humorous, yet eye-
catching effect and are so appealing
that just like Hermès clients, you must
sign up on the waiting list if you are
interested in purchasing one.

Flats are back
Get Ready For The (Actual) Return Of The Pointed-Toe Flat Pump- fashion directors from department stores are heralding flat,
sensible shoes for 2011. Whether it's because they fit in better with apparel trends (like lower hemlines and boho sensibilities) or because women are tired of breaking their ankles, shoes like
ballerina flats, no-pitch platforms, and—unfortunately—the "single- soled pointed-toe pump" (so says Lord & Taylor's executive vice
president of merchandising, Liz Rodbell) are getting snatched up by the Big Kids for our consumption.

Intel's Virtual Footwear Wall for Adidas Turns Boutiques Into Shoe-topias
Aubrey says a prototype store will likely roll out in about a year in the U.K. -- a country that's nearly as enthusiastic about e- commerce as the U.S., but close enough for executives from the company's European headquarters to keep a close eye on how the wall is working out. "Germany itself still lags a bit," in its appetite for online shopping, Aubrey says.

3 D Sidewalk Chalk
Just when you thought 3D couldn’t become any more of a craze, Crayola releases its 3D Giant Chalk. Children and adults alike can bring sidewalk drawings to life because the set includes special glasses for viewing the image in 3D and instructions for how to use the chalk (wow, chalk now needs instructions). Warmer tones like red, yellow, and orange will float over the cooler hues (blue, green), creating magical art.

Several different fabrics have been used in the same garment to create new graphic and harlequin patterns.

Melt Tags Clean Garments, Reduce Waste
Winner of the 2010 Red Dot Concept
Design, Sangbyum Kim’s Melt Tags re-
imagine the hang tag, eliminating the use of
paper and waste for a informative label
which melts in the wash. Attempting to
reduce a tiny part of the 1.3 billion trees used
globally in the production of paper products,
the Melt Tag disappears in the wash,
releasing a soap-like substance which
removes starches and chemicals used to
treat the garment in the manufacturing
phase.
