As I mentioned I attended the Direction Show yesterday. There were about 78 vendors and they reprented fashion forcasters and textile designers from Europe, Great Britain and the US. While some specialized in Children's, women's and men's others specialized in home decor. Colors, subject matter, and styles ran the gamut from nostalgic to abstract. The most prevalent influences for Summer 2008 that I took away from the show were from the late 60's and early 70's. Prints reminiscent of Pucci were everywhere. Also purvading the displays were Peter Max inspired prints. The pallette of the 60's which I wasn't even a fan of in the 60's was also a big part of the look of fashion to come. Browns, oranges, yellows and greens put together in abstract florals were also common. I am anxious to see how designers put togther this jumble and transform it into something fresh for the 2008 season.
