San Francisco International Fashion Week | Cari Borja

Background on Cari Borja:
This Gen Art San Francisco Fresh Faces alum started her collection
while getting her doctorate in anthropology in Berkeley. After her
collection — a compilation of more than 40 outfits — was presented at
fashion week, a very pregnant Cari stepped out to receive an
overwhelming round of applause.

Key Takeaways: "I
was inspired by my daughter," Borja told us after the show. "She’s two
years old and she dresses herself in [different] shapes and colors."
Borja captured youth through her choice of colors for the collection,
as well as with the playfulness of ruffled hems.

Accessories Report:
Gold sandals on every model, dangly earrings, bunches of tangled
necklaces and bracelets, gold necklaces with tassles. We also saw
various-sized pom-poms made of yarn and worn in the manner of flower
pins.

What’s Wearable: A gold babydoll dress with tiered ruffles.

Cotton Inc. Fall/Winter 2007 Color Trends, Part Two

	Expression This color theme is inspired by the youth market. Think of chenilles, plaids, and chunky, textured knits.
Triumph Think of Track Suits of the 1970s (doesn’t that sound like a bad documentary?). Bold prints and patterns. Quilted fabrics and double layered fabrics.
	Destination Earthy color palette. Think of modernized batik fabrics. Perfect for bottomweight fabrics (e.g. fabrics for pants and skirts) with a soft hand, or feel. All about Authentic, Natural color, possibly with a Natural Wrinkled look.
