Drop into one of these sites to update your fashion viewpoint.

About.com Style does not always make me happy because I am a visual creature.  But they do "get to the point" so it does not take long to check into their posts.  Plus they provide good links.

Check out 10 Fall Trends You'll Love to Wear

New York Magazine Fashion is diverse and fun.  Scroll down far enough to find Eight Trends You’ll Be Wearing This Fall.  Please do not miss the article on Guerrilla Retail which remarks, "We might even be entering some kind of a pop-up golden age, as an overstock of available storefronts coincides with brands’ trying to build interest and excitement any way they can, even if it means “guerrilla retail” techniques like offering a line of goods for sale and then snatching it away a week later."

While on the Guerilla Retail link make sure you click on Fall’s Fleeting Shops. This is a retail strategy that has been used by off-price for years.  It is interesting to see it at the designer level.

If books are your thing, check out Laurence King Publishing and their wonderful selection of fashion books.  They have Digital Textile Design and we are loving this book at El Paso Community College's Fashion Technology program.  Also look for 100 New Fashion Designers Hywel Davies.  It says, "The fashion industry has always celebrated innovative design, and young, talented fashion designers can make a huge impact as they explore new ideas and push boundaries. This book showcases the diverse and unique work of the best 100 new creatives in fashion design from around the world."
