The High Point Market Authority (HPMA) reports that it has released this season’s High Point Market Style Report for Summer/Fall 2017.

The report was developed by eight home fashion gurus – 4 sets of design duos - all part of the HPMA’s 2017 Style Spotters team, who scoured the Spring High Point Market (April 22-26) for the hottest must-have items and then translated their picks into today’s top trends for the report. Trends range from “White Hot Texture” to “Tissue Pink” and from “Angles vs Organics” to “Grand Textures and Salute to the Past”. All trends in the Style Report for Summer/Fall 2017 may found be found and downloaded at www.highpointmarket.org/products-and-trends/summer-fall-2017-style-report.

“The Spring ‘17 event was as tantalizing as ever. We came away with beautiful selections for many of our projects, new design inspirations, and forward thinking business ideas,” commented Style Spotter Emeritus Michelle Jennings Wiebe in her intro for the report. “Now, the 2017 Style Spotters – four design team duos whose talent is off the charts – bring you their special finds in our Summer/Fall 2017 Style Report.”The Style Spotters program, launched during the October 2011 Market, features home fashion pace setters that showcase their favorite products and top trends from High Point Market exhibitors via Pinterest, the at-Market Style Spotters LIVE! event, the Style Report and various media interviews.
