Trends: Color Blocking

I love reading fashion news that validates my own design ideas.
Recently in About.com , Cynthia Nellis wrote about color blocking as a key trend for 2010.  She mentioned several famous designers and how they interpret this technique.

My personal take on color blocking is all about optical illusion.  I like to use blocks of color to define the body, making waists, slimming hips, narrowing the torso.  Side panels, vertical lines, and the proper combination of light and dark colors all work to camouflage the less than perfect figure.  And at a certain age, even thin women may need to define themselves with color and line.

We have many styles that use this technique. Refer to our website for a  list of retailers that will have our product in the fall.  I am adding product to complement the sweaters. KneckKnacks - gemstone jewelry by my Mom, and one-of-a-kind handbags by my friend Viktoria Chulay can be seen soon.
