Trendscape: Covered Beads

Several seasons ago, shiny pearls gave way to Lanvin’s smash hit, pearls wrapped in raw-edged silk tulle,
which begat organiza- and ribbon- wrapped beads,
which meshed with the crochet trend to produce crochet-covered beads,
which have since spawned a slew of necklaces and bracelets covered with tiny miniature beads.
Which brings our trend to beads covered with beads,
which means that, quite literally, some prefer to wear irony on their sleeve.

Whew. All we can say is that this trend has truly grown up.

Trendscape: Short Sleeved Button Up Shirt

No longer the province of middle managers, the short sleeved button up shirt is back with a vengeance.  This adorably nerdy shirt is riding off the geek chic trend that has permeated the runways for the past couple of seasons.  Expect this shirt to stick around for at least a couple more.

Trendscape: Op Art Prints

Black and white patterns and bright colors look exceedingly fresh these days.  But remember, it’s 2006, not 1966—to keep this 1960s trend looking modern, try pairing an op art print with solid colors.
