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

Concepts and colors to keep an eye on.

Powerful Duo

Black teamed with white is simple, modern and effortless, but what makes it unique in 2013 is the commonality across all retail market segments. Prevalent in fashion and furniture markets, the color grouping emerges in the gift arena taking its cues from many directions. The bold contrast of geometrics, stripes and dots coupled with some pattern play in the mixing prints trend exhibits the versatility of this classic combination.
