#7 Fashion Blog: Trunk Show



Trunk shows are special shows that designers utilize in order to show their merchandise directly to retailers or exclusive customers. It gives them an opportunity to purchase merchandise before it is actually in stores. I think trunk shows are a great way for designers to connect with their customers and/or retailers. It is a more intimate version of a fashion show which really gives the customers a chance to relate with the designer and really understand their ideas and theories behind the designs.

#6 Fashion Blog: Fashion Video





This video of a hologram of Kate Moss at an Alexander McQueen fashion show epitomizes the recent combination of fashion and technology. It's amazing how real and graceful it seems watching the hologram. The audience at the fashion show all thought they were actually seeing Kate Moss on the runway until she disappeared into thin air. This is just the beginning of the possibilities that can come of putting fashion and technology together as one.

I found these photos from the forecasting site Fashion Snoops, and the color yellow was a huge deal throughout the entire site for a new spring season color. Many different shades of yellow are going to be a HUGE color trend for the Spring season for many designers. I personally love this color for the Spring season because it illuminates the feeling of happiness. You could use this color in many different ways; to perk up cool colors, use it with blue for an eye-popping combination, or use it with red to make an exciting fusion of color.
