TOBE REPORT
HOW SHE WEARS IT S/S 16
“Clothes mean nothing until someone lives in them.� -Marc Jacobs
LETTER FROM THE EDITOR As the new fashion season approaches, we can take the four color stories from the previous TOBE report and use them to see how it can convert into actual garments as well as accessories for Spring/Summer. The first trend, PERSO is all about Rome, Italy and the saturated colors and getting lost in this magnificent city. So with that being said, some graphics and flowy pieces such as dresses are essential. The word fun is key when viewing these pieces. The second, TRANQUILITY, is about the combination of peacefulness and a mystic feel. So the clothing and accessories are simplistic, and very wearable. The third, SUBTLE SEASIDE, is focused on the atmosphere of the Bahamas, specifically the pastel hues. So the outfits seen for this trend consist of essential summer pieces, such as dresses and skirts, and accessories such as hats. The fourth, ETHNIC CENTRAL, is all about ethnic moods, so the clothes will have a very cultural aesthetic to them. As the dark red and purple hues dominate, you can definitely expect to feel like you are transported to places such as India. Enjoy! Carrie Sullivan
