Parisian Affair

Fashion focuses on the City of Love for inspiration

Implications - Parisian style has always been something fashionistas crave and designers look to for inspiration, but now, more than ever, French-inspired fashions are taking over the runways and are even appearing at mass retailers like Target. Using Parisian chic as the foundation for design, designers can infuse a sophistication and polish that styles influenced by other cultures and cities don't always possess. While the previous years saw style mavens flocking to rebellious punk-rock styles and the like, 2012 sees a new direction in classics and conservatism, both of which fit right in line with the Parisian aesthetic.
Trend Themes
1. Parisian Chic - French-inspired fashion is taking over the runways and is even appearing at mass retailers like Target.
2. Vintage Parisian Glamor - A new trend in classics and conservatism is taking place, both of which fit right in line with the Parisian aesthetic.
3. Casual Parisian Chic - Chic Parisian Mass Fashion is making French-inspired designs affordable and casual.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion Industry - The fashion industry should focus on designing French-inspired fashion that is affordable and accessible to a mass market.
2. Retail Industry - Retailers can capitalize on French-inspired fashion by stocking inventory that is both affordable and accessible to a mass market.
3. Marketing Industry - Marketers should focus on promoting French-inspired fashion to a wider audience by drawing influences from classic and conservative styles.
