Walking through the Oculus, the stores I looked at were Another Story, Sam Edelman, Kate Spade, Vince Camuto, and Tory Burch. A couple of trends I spotted were jute platform bottoms for shoes. This trend spread across almost all the stores. Another trend that was very prominent across all stores were these little fluffy balls brightly colored, on shoes, on bags, on jewelry even on some sweaters (in Kate Spade) they came in different sizes depending on what item they were on. Another theme that wasn’t prominent amongst all stores but I noticed it first at Kate Spade, there was a very obvious peacock theme going on amongst products however with Tory Burch, I first noticed the white washed peacock chair in the window and it was interesting because I intern at Jimmy Choo for Visual Merchandising and we had a peacock chair in a natural finish delivered for our Madison store. Back to Tory Burch, the peacock theme was less obvious here in my opinion it was more about the color scheme. As the weather becomes warmer, we can definitely see the silouette of desired clothing becoming looser as skirts start to span out and dresses are a bit wider and don’t cling to your body.
