Fall / Winter 2009 Trends

Being the Fabulous is the name of the Fall / Winter 2009 Debut Collection. It suggests fabulous bright colors for all those glamour occasions when something cheerful is the order of the day, or more likely evening. Not pastels and yet not deep colors, grays, pink, clay, green and barberry not only draw from nature, but also have an air of mistiness that contribute to their individuality. Vienna comes to mind as the colors reflect frozen surfaces of the theater and ballroom.

Unexpected poetry moves into the mysterious realm of hypnotic dark colors, colors that are strongly reminiscent of the long dark evenings to come as winter progresses. However, other aspects of winter, snow, ice and frost lead to a panorama of colors that are timeless and even seasonless.

What are other important trends? Eco-Supporter. Seeking a balance between individual well-being and a respect for the environment. Aspiring to a harmony between sustainable development, a healthy lifestyle and a fashion dynamic. Alying the scientific and the senses, the natural and the pretend.

LamanBlu Studio

I thought you might enjoy seeing the views from our studio. We're so fortunate to be in the foothills of the beautiful Rocky Mountains. As you can imagine, we're inspired every day by what we see from our windows. (I think you'll understand why our debut collection was inspired by the winter landscape outside our studio.)
