Show (a Little) Skin
It seems counterintuitive to fall weather patterns, but shoulders and collar bones got some love this time around, as designers showcased cut-out, one-shoulder and keyhole styles. But despite the insistence that skin is in, Elle magazine’s “Top 10 Trends: New York Fall 2009” was quick to clarify the designs “still leave much to the imagination.” Of course, to pass muster for, say, a corporate-apparel promotion, “much more” needs to be the qualifier, but it can still work for our industry. Using V-necks or burnout T-shirts, distributors can bring this trend (safely and appropriately) to end-users.
