One Comprehensive Show
The Fashion Group International Trend Presentations are one of the highlight events I always look forward to. The best of the best Ready-to-wear presented in a succinct and entertaining manner via audio/visual really does capture the best of the best from the New York, Paris, Milan and London Shows.
This year’s Fall/Winter 2012 hosted by The Shops at Northbridge (4/23/12) was no exception. They provided Catering from Blue Plate and PF Changs. Well done!
The Trend Presentation is always well edited for those that appreciate Fashion in a cerebral way. Mary Lou Luther and her Team in New York always seem to hit the most salient points – with humor. Condensing the upcoming fashion themes saves me time when analyzing and applying it for business.
Special Q&A by industry experts moderated by Susan Glick, VP Women's Apparel MMPI directly followed and was definitely an added benefit to the event here in Chicago.
Some of the salient points I took away from our expert industry panelists follow:
“We will definitely see a lot more of the red lip and dramatic eye” Kate Leydon, Owner/Founder Ruby Room Spa Chicago
“…influences from popular culture such as Mad Men will keep traditional retro inspired classics strong” Krisie Smith, VP Sales, Mid-West, Doncaster
“…the color trend (blocking) will remain strong” Erica Strama, Sr. Manager Marketing, Macerich
“…many the rich, luxury treatments we see will sell… the customer is ready for it and ready to spend” Dierdre Bormes, The Fifth Avenue Club Director @ Saks 5th Avenue Chicago IL
