Summer 2013
Trends: Today and Tomorrow Summer 2013 By Becky Tyre

Concepts and colors to keep an eye on.

Opposites Attract

If grey is the new black, then a black and white combination is the new neutral. Neither basic nor formal, crisp white mixed with inky black creates a bold statement in 2013. No other color combination lends itself so perfectly to crossing all boundaries of retail categories – home décor, fashion accessories, toys, tabletop, stationery, housewares, holiday decor, jewelry and bath & body. What other trends are worth watching? We explore five in our forecast.
