Hello, everyone! Welcome to my new blog. We have a big team that works on the Denim & Co. brand, so from time to time, you will be hearing from me plus other members of the group on this blog. We look forward to hearing your comments and suggestions.
A group shot from one of our recent Denim & Co. design meetings…and yes…it does take a village!!!!
One of the great benefits of being a designer is having the opportunity to travel around the world and gather ideas to bring back for design and development. It is an exciting part of my job, and I love it! Last week, we traveled to Rome and London, and, besides the fact that it rained every day, we brought back some great items for inspiration.
Maryanne and I shopping for trends in Rome!
And you can’t go to Rome without trying one of their delicious gelato desserts…yum!
Now…off to London…
Maryanne, Lucia and I with a fabulous picture of the Queen!
London is one of my favorite cities in the world. The culture has so much to offer, and, not only is it a great shopping destination to find the latest trends, but it is also a must for anyone who loves museums, the theatre or great people watching on many of the famous streets. We usually visit London twice a year and are never disappointed!
I am so excited about the trends we saw in Europe and wanted to share a little of what we saw. I would love your feedback as these are ideas we would put into work for Spring 2014!!!
What color do you like? There were still lots of pretty colors in Europe with beautiful corals and teals, but the newest color direction is these pretty sunshine yellows and bright blues!
Pretty prints, lace trim, chambray and embroidery were in all the stores. I particularly loved this display and the ideas and would love to hear what you think!
We saw printed shirts everywhere! This was a great presentation of all types of new ideas…from checks to floral to smaller conversational prints such as birds. What would be your favorite Denim & Co. shirt print?
So…these are just a few of the exciting ideas we saw while traveling. It is so much fun to start working on a new season and be inspired to create beautiful clothes for all of our Denim & Co ladies! As for me and my team…we look forward to hearing your feedback, and stay tuned for more exciting blog posts to come!
