From all this info it seems like 40s and 80s styling is a recurring trend, blazers and tuxedos also seem to be staying for the next year. I thought it would be abit too much to put the s/s2011 info into this post so I may do that at a later date. OverallI thought the presentation was really useful in showing us how Peclers go about producing their trend books and the type of language that they use to describe each story.
