Designers were in full force this season to charm, shock, and satisfy fashion enthusiasts. We saw bold separates, bright colors, sexy sheers, and sassy layers. The colors popped and so did a certain fabric . . . cotton! Whether in unexpected citrus, cobalt blue, or pops of neon, the versatile and eco-friendly fabric was all over the catwalk. And for those of us who love a smooth transition from season to season, we’re in luck, because dresses over pants will take us there. So whether you rock your favorite pair of cotton leggings underneath a hot dress or sport an open knit over a neon, cotton tank, you’ll be fashion forward and comfortable.
From textured dresses to menswear-inspired pieces and adding layers to keep them cozy, Fall is all about The Fabric of Our Lives® . . . Cotton. Dominating the scene are lace, romantic dresses, miniskirts, or sweet blouses, designers are incorporating the texture to keep it lovely for ladies this Fall. Too chilly for a lace mini? Layer a pair of your favorite leggings underneath with a pair of tall boots; two of the hottest Fall trends rolled into one trendy outfit. Since Fall can be fickle — warm one day and cool the next — keeping a jacket on hand is essential. So be inspired by the menswear trend, and invest in a Cotton tuxedo jacket. The trends will keep you cool and chic throughout the season, but the fabric will ensure comfort and versatility. It’s the best of both worlds!
Round out Summer with the hottest staple of the season – the cotton cocktail dress. No longer just the fabric of your favorite vintage tee, cotton fabric keeps you cool and comfortable without sacrificing your impeccable style.
The hottest fashion designers are sending it down the runway, and style icon Kate Bosworth is constantly pulling it off. Versatile enough to go from day to night and the perfect, fashion-forward fabric for high temperatures, your cotton cocktail dress will have you looking and feeling your best for a night out on the town. Get more information and style inspiration on the coveted cloth here.
The interiors used in the latest Fabric of Our Lives cotton commercial with Leona Lewis are absolutely gorgeous and I'm determined to make the space mine!
The interiors used in the latest Fabric of Our Lives cotton commercial with Leona Lewis are absolutely gorgeous and I'm determined to make the space mine! With Asian-inspired lily wallpaper, a striking red grandfather clock, a green tufted chair, a Hollywood Regency style sconce, horse photography, and a Boston Terrier pillow, it has a perfect, eclectic mix of styles. While the influences are all over the place, the palette is somewhat reserved, with mostly reds and whites and one parfait pop of faded green. The diamond and square door treatment is also quite fantastic and totally doable way to spice up simple doors!
Looking for an eco-friendly alternative to a fluffy shag rug? Then try this Recycled T-Shirt Rug ($48) from Etsy seller Talkingsquid. I love the deep navy blue hue of this particular area rug, but if blue's not your bag, Talkingsquid makes these rugs in a variety of colors and sizes. Constructed from discarded t-shirts, Talkingsquid hand cuts t-shirt strips and sews them onto a durable cotton jersey t-shirt base. You can handwash the smaller size rugs on the delicate cycle, but larger rugs (such as the five by eight foot size), should ideally be dry cleaned, given their size.
Last night we attended the second annual Supima Competition For Emerging Designers runway show at Gotham Hall. The competition promotes both young design talent and the usage of Supima cotton as a high fashion textile. Designers were judged based on the categories "Innovation in Knits", "Innovation in Denim and Chambray", and "Innovation in Superfine Shirting" and were supplied with ten yards of top-quality fabric, a model, and a private fitting appointment prior to the show. Check out our photos from last night's event below, and, to see who won the competition, click here.
Even though it's been a while since the Transportation Security Agency implemented airport liquid regulations, I don't think I'll ever get used to it. Simply put: it's freaking annoying. But, I'm not going to do anything to jeopardize my trip. What I can do is minimize the liquids I take on my travels with me. For cotton items, like this Victoria's Secret Plaid Shirtdress ($68), I learned a brilliant solution to keep them wrinkle-free and travel-easy.
