fabric show
it's that time of year again to see all the new fabrics. there is a lot of buzz this spring about prints on prints and bold bright colors. i listen to some of the buzz, i mean that is part of staying in touch with the industry, but i always find that if you follow trends too closely it stops one from looking at the existing personality of the clothes. it can be dangerous. i remember one line, which i won't mention the name, who completely lost their identity by following too closely the latest buzz, and frankly interpreting those trends too literally. it was as if they were going through an identity complex and didn't know who their customers were or the personality of their line. fortunately for me, i work so closely with the girls that come in our store that i get a first hand look into their lifestyle, and it really helps me stay focus on who i doing this all for. i am inspired everyday by a customer.
