Colors of the Season Here are the colors you can expect to see this Fall/Winter. Youll notice them throughout the catalog in the backgrounds, models clothing and fonts that are used.

Trends of the Season Let me show you some of the hottest trends for Fall/Winter 2012…

MIXED VIBE TREND The Mixed Vibe trend is the one we have the most fun with. It appears on the runways with big bold statement pieces.

This trend is a mash of textures, colors, platings and materials There are no rules!
