The High Point Market Authority (HPMA) recently announced that it has released this season’s High Point Market Style Report for Summer/Fall 2019.
This 37-page report was developed by eight home fashion gurus, all part of the HPMA’s 2019 Style Spotters team, who scoured the Spring High Point Market, April 6-10, for the hottest must-have items and then translated their picks into today’s top trends. The report highlights 22 different trends, ranging from “Inlay, Overlay, and Texture” to “Fully Functional with Style”, from “Postmodern Pleasures” to “A Sensuous Turn”, and more. In all, the report features 68 different products from 48 different High Point Market exhibitors. All trends in the Style Report for Summer/Fall 2019 may be found and downloaded at www.highpointmarket.org/products-and-trends/summer-fall-2019-style-report.
“Canvassing the world’s largest home fashion and design show, our remarkable group of design leaders uncovered the key global trends and innovative products that will define style in the months to come,” commented Style Spotters Advisors Shay Geyer and Gary Inman in their intro for the report. “With curations as diverse, exciting, and unique as they are, they will put you on the inside track to the shapes, colors, and textures that are about to capture consumers’ hearts.”
