Fashion Color Trends Autumn 2011

Color trend colors Autumn 2011

The colors above are the ones forecast for Fall 2011. . . I love to look at these color trends because it helps me determine my course of “creativity”. Why? Well, if most people will be purchasing brown coats vs. black coats in any given year, I want to make sure my “ready to ship” items compliment their choice. How will I know what will be most worn, if I don’t know the trends?

I also love to make OOAK (one of a kind) items in the seasonal colors because they’ll catch the “eye of the beholder”.  It seems this years color trends reflect the practicality that a recession brings. These colors will help bring in buyers who are looking to match items already in their closets without having to spend a lot of money.

Personally, I just love the way they look . . .I'm looking in my stash for matches!!

Fall/Winter Line Sneak Peak

I'm so excited about my Fall/Winter line of items. Since you're here you might as well get a glimpse into the future! My new line is all about color. I found this really cool website called Fashion Trendsetter and they are dying to tell you all about the colors, and trends of the season into 2010!

When I looked at their color forcast for Fall/Winter 2008-2009 I was excited to see so many colors I wanted to use on the list. So, this weekend I took inventory of what I'm making, where they'll be sold and what I needed, then early Saturday morning I went out and purchased most of the yarn I'll need to get me started. Don't the colors look amazing? This year, I'm all about one or two color items. Looking forward into Spring/Summer I think I may venture further than that, but for now, as I love to do, I'm keeping it simple.
