After every buying trip we like to do a round-up on trends we see within the brands we purchase for Fiddlesticks. We work with designers who mostly create small collections and who are for the most part based in the US. The majority of them are mothers with busy lives and most find they have little time to design. Those with little time admit to designing in a bubble - they rely on their design instincts to create the collection & don't actively seek outside influences. So you would gather that trends wouldn't emerge if this were the general case. Yet naturally they collectively fall into patterns which ultimately create trends. And what we find fascinating among these designers is how they all end up trending in the same direction. Time and time again.
This Spring we are going to see a lot of navy and white with a pop of ORANGE for the boys. Here are several photos we took on our buying trip for Spring 2013 that show just some of the many designers using orange as their pop in their boys collections.
