Trends in Color Forecast 2010/2011: Neoteric




NEOTERIC
 

7 of 7 Video Trend Reports
Produced/Written/Filmed and Edited by: Adair Custom Design

New. Modern. Of recent origin, in other words, the modern art movement. Counter-culture trends that are on the cusp of mainstream acceptance and recognition.  Old technology is revisited through steampunk and subversive cross-stitch. Circus motifs, kaleidoscopes, and 1950's futurism collides and creates a grand show.

These color forecast reports are based on tremendous amounts of research influenced by the economic, social, political, historical and environmental trends of today and tomorrow. I hope they will be helpful and referred to often for trend insight and inspiration.

19 Moons limited edition jewelry is an eco-conscious line by Pittsburgh based creatrix Niffer Desmond. Niffer's diverse background spans fifteen years in assemblage art, animation and jewelry design. Inspired by re-use, machinery and DIY culture, her unique designs integrate these concepts into fashion. Says the artist "I find inspiration everywhere both in nature and the manmade. Organic forms like birds or rocks are on equal footing with perfect circles and squares of type-keys and clocks. Anything that visually sings! I also like the idea of giving old technology new life, appreciating it for its beauty as much as its former function." Indeed the natural and mechanical are juxtaposed in interesting ways in her designs, largely in the vein of Steampunk fashion. Most everything used is vintage and repurposed, becoming wearable art. Says Niffer; "Steampunk is basically a vision of technology of the future through the lens of the 1800’s, as seen in the literature of Jules Verne, H.G. Wells and others. My interpretation has it's own twist- using anachronistic technology and natural forms to create emblems and creatures of the fantastical realm."








I'M OVER IT
Sarah Keen
1-877-834-3516

I'm Over It was created after taking a long, hard look at her own jewelry box.  Sarah realized that there were just too many pieces that were often ignored and passed over for the newer more exciting ones...pieces she just "had to have" but quite frankly had grown tired of.  She was OVER them.  What a waste!  She just knew she couldn't be the only one struggling with beautiful, but neglected jewelry.  Jewelry that had been worn a few times only to be tossed in the back of a jewelry box never to be seen again! 

Then the idea hit her...This is Sarah Keen's  journey to help women everywhere put an end to beautiful, neglected, over-looked, and ignored jewelry.  Stop tossing jewelry in the back of your jewelry box and join I'm Over It as we put an end to unwanted jewelry everywhere!

I'm Over It allows the ability to lease/rent or buy beautiful statement pieces of jewelry.

Trends in Color Forecast 2010/2011: Socio-Cultural Video

Trends in Color Forecast 2010/2011: Socio-Cultural



Socio-Cultural 
5 of 7 Video Trend Reports
Produced/Written/Filmed and Edited by: Adair Custom Design

The mixing of cultures creates endless opportunites, think of culinary trends like Asian and Latin fusions in 2010.  A romantic color palette of  an endless summer. The new gypsy/bohemian influence-a little more funky, a little more folk.  The 1950's Capri style has a double personality: campy tourist and refined island style. Latin culture continues to inspire with bright and surrealist palettes.  African decor brought to the height of luxury and elegance.
