SEPTEMBER & OCTOBER 2010

TRENDSTyLER HOuSE Forecasting Color

Tyler House tells us this is the year for dramatic effects, pairing rich saturated colors like intense emerald, sap-phire blue, deep purple and magenta pink with camel, graphite grey and winter white. Crisp white will be worn well beyond Labor Day with the darker palette; graphite grey is more sophisticated, easier to wear; and camels come in all shades.

VERMILLION Dropping Names

The team at Vermillion says hands down THE designer for fall is one they have carried from day one – Adam. After working with Oscar de la Renta, this talented young designer went on to launch his own line of impeccably clean and simple basics, capturing the eye of Oprah and women everywhere. His full line, known as ADAM, is evolving with a more luxe and detailed look for fall.
