However, something else will be bursting on the scene this summer season and it is a burst of something we haven't seen in awhile—color. With the economy heading back into positive territory, there is a great deal of optimism in the air and there are some fabric swatches ready to support an economic upswing. This year's color pallet is full of enthusiasm for a new beginning. Including some vintage inspiration from the '60s, '70s and '80s, vibrant blocks of color will be making an appearance in the spring and summer collections. Hoffman mentioned trends at ALO supported this notion. "Patterns and color are what is hot right now. People need color, especially now more than ever. Color represents change and people are drawn to that," she said.
