Intermezzo Collections

ENK kicked off its Intermezzo women’s apparel trade show in New York today, giving us a glimpse of the trends and designers who will be shaping the spring/summer and fall/winter seasons.

The Trends

The spring trends we identified earlier – short and sexy with plenty of sequins and silk – are striking a cord with buyers looking to feed their fashionable, young customers.

Collection Affection

Hot lines included Isli, Cynthia Steffe, Cynthia Vincent, Vince, Tony Cohen, and Trina Turk due to their emphasis on dresses, metallics and silk.

The strong dress and skirt trend is stealing demand from denim. As a result, denim vendors were left with empty booths.

Resort Report

Resort collections looked boring compared to this season’s sexy trends, leaving some buyers to look to younger designers to fill their orders.
