Fashion Garments

In the world of fashion and style, the calendar flip to a new year is something akin to getting the key to a brand-new, bare-to-the-walls walk-in closet right next to the one we just finished filling up. What goes into the new space depends a lot (but not entirely) on what came before.

In 2010, that means more traction for the familiar — Forever 21, home shopping networks, Americana — while adding some foreign influences (the ascent of Brazil) into the trend mix as well. But the biggest shift in the fashion and style realm might very well be in process rather than product; now that we can have anything we want when we want it, perhaps we’ll give more thought to how it gets from point A to point B. What follows is a little crystal-ball gazing from the Image staff.
