Rachel Carmi of Bernie Mev tells us what
trend she's most excited about headed
into the February trade shows: "When I
built the fall line, I was thinking about
textures and the richness of materials.
We did a lot of uppers with chenilles, so
they had a very clean look but were rich
in colors and textures. For me, fall is the
perfect time to celebrate that richness.
I added some new shimmer colors
this season. Because we are more
casual, it's a nice twist. Our customer
is loving the idea that we don't have to
have shimmer just for night, but that it
can be for casual everyday fun. When
fashion trends are overwhelming, I'm
trying to be cleaner in my styles." l
Bernie Mev's $68 Amie style has a
metallic stretch knit and chenille upper,
lightweight bottom unit and a memory
foam footbed.
