This past week, the new GUESS Holiday Collection was revealed, featuring everything from sleek, metallic-printed denim to sparkling sequined jackets. The collection was created to suit women’s needs throughout the winter holidays, from family dinners to wild New Year’s Eve parties. This led to an extremely versatile collection that can translate from day to night extremely well.
While the Trend Hunter TV team was at the GUESS Holiday preview, they sat down with Julia Che of Lotus Leaf Communications to chat about the recent collection, what Che’s favorite looks are for the upcoming Fall/Winter season, and why GUESS remains on the cutting edge. Che raved about metallic denim, demonstrating that black denim accented with gold, metallic stripes make for the perfect nighttime event outfit for women who don’t feel like putting on a dress. She also remarked on GUESS’s ability to take what’s on the runway and transform it into mainstream, wearable looks, keeping it very much on the cutting edge of fashion.
