HEADBANDS - ON TREND

As Karl Lagerfeld steered CHANEL into the future and beyond, in an epic simulated rocket launch in the Grand Palais, he did so with a nod to the past. 

Goodbye BARBARELLA and bonjour CHANELERELLA. 

And of course you wouldn't dream of going into the future without some to-die-for accessories. Mr. Lagerfeld nailed it with intergalactic headbands embellished with pearls and beads. The whole shows was Xanadu, Xanadu!




The average woman in the street will probably decide to tone the look down and we have some great alternative looks at Scala Pronto.

FASHION TRENDS and STYLE

A stylish lady or a stylish man is always in fashion, but the same cannot be said for fashion trend chasers. Fashion is fickle friend and can fizzle before production reaches the store. Fashion can look great on the right person, but can look ridiculous on someone trying too hard to be young and trendy, or as my dear old mother would have said "OMG, she looks like mutton dressed as lamb". Yep, we get the visual!!!

At Dorfman Pacific, we are frequently on trend and always in style.

BREAKING NEWS on fall 2017's trendy and classic hats!!

John Galliano for Maison Margiela, always throws a fun runway show. For fall 2017 he went with a very ventilated look. Not sure how sellable/wearable these are but the make for a fun DIY project.




We suggest that you buy a tall crown CALLANAN hat and cut a hole out to get the same look.
Good Luck with this goof look!

For fall 2017, Mark Jacobs presented a lovely stylish collection, topped off with classic cloches.
The cloches were perched high on beehive hairdos, reminiscent of the 1960'S beehive-hat, a modern look for the time. Your average stylish lady will indeed wear these lower on the head, in a more conventional style.




OK, maybe the knit is a little cookie to carry-off, getting on the plane, but at callanan and Scala we got you covered in style.

Or for an easier street look, wear a classic Scala to Callanan cloche.

MILITARY TREND- ON HIGH ALERT

The recent fall 17 runway shows did not revel a lot of fun, in-your-face trends. Cast aside were the peacocks, the slinky sexuality and over embellishment of prior years and hailed was simplicity. Norm-core, Nerd-core and "Dad-Bad" looks, are the new cool, while Business Casual is back in style. The outfits shown were wearable for most customers and very sellable for most stores.

The only fun trend that I saw interwoven in a few presentations was CAMOUFLAGE. Fashionistas may have taken their cue from the military hot spots around that world, that could erupt at any minute.

BALMAIN went to town with this trend and many of the pieces, worn separately, are totally wearable for the guy in the street.










MOSCHINO, stuck with the military mate look to dress his urban, gender neutral, vigilantes.



No camo, but the use of military green created very easy street looks at Dsquared2, Lanvin and The Kouples.








At Dorfman Pacific's DPC GLOBAL TRENDS, TROPICAL TRENDS and MOSSY OAK labels, we have a great selection of camo hats to merchandise with these looks.
