SPORT HALEY
The new “Once Upon a Time” collections are rich with color, yet light and airy. Comfortable and easy, yet smart combinations of prints and textures worthy of the lifestyle brand that Sport Haley represents. Fabrications are for function and fashion, with a lot of comfort fitting for any occasion.
“Our success with our Clubhouse Classics continues with an early delivery filled with colorful fashion basics and true essentials,” says Cathy Blair, President and Creative Director for Sport Haley. “Build and replenish from this assortment throughout the season and keep the shop or your own wardrobe fresh and exciting. This array of product introduces the collections to come, and features key wardrobe building pieces. This is our most popular category and has proven successful in sales time and time again.”
Enchanted Forest features a vibrant cambridge red and mixes with navy and white for a simple but whimsical collection. This takes preppy down a modern path.
Woodland Glen showcases the most neutral of beachwood that, when mixed with black and cream, diffuses in ikats and skin prints. Strong statement pieces are key wardrobe builders.
Mystic Pond is classic yet defined, as clipper blue and black come together in one of the most prominent color duos. Rich plaids and geos create a subtle but distinct palette.
Crystal Ball is festive with tinsel tones creating enchanting looks for the merriest of occasions. This Holiday boutique adds the Swarovski crystal touch and the sparkle of enchantment.
BETTE & COURT
“We are emerging for Fall 2016 with a fashion byword…FUN! Unique, performance lifestyle pieces create collections that are worthy of the most active woman,” says Justina Cordova-Bottomley, senior designer at Bette & Court. “Lighter palettes of mid-tones refresh our Cool Elements and create the core for our new fall wardrobe. We are introducing many new options as the look is happy and item driven so women of every age and inclination can mix and match. The sky’s the limit.”
Along with the original Cool Elements sun protection shirt with mesh under the sleeve, Bette & Court is presenting some new options in silhouettes that are getting rave reviews in the previews. Prints, hoods, crews and lots of detailing tie in to the texture making the pieces unique and essential. The mesh is Bette & Court’s trademark and it serves as function as well as fashion.
Bette & Court’s “Sugar Rush”
Lavender, calypso, mint and coral refresh the core essentials and become the strength of the three collections:
- Sugar Rush- the significant hit of hot pink makes a strong statement when paired with a sunny ray of Coral. A perfect combination to give you that sweet rush of inner strength and confidence to conquer anything.
- Lavender Ice- it is an intriguing color, one that evokes a sense of calm. It is sophisticated and chic bringing a cool energy to any garment. It is the perfect hue to use in contrast with slate and pop with a bold coral.
- Minty Fresh- lush and elegant, this minty hue makes quite a splash against the warmer tones of the season. The addition of calypso ignites the collection and makes it all the more magnetic to view. Paring these cool shades with sharp black and white gives the collection a sense of excitement.
Bold prints and graphics make strong statement pieces while the small unique features make the difference. These exciting new lines concentrate on clean distinct design lines, while letting the strong prints and new silhouettes stand out.
