FIRST LOOK Winter 2019: ADORN

FIRST LOOKPersonal accessories, stationery, candles, and scene-enhancing softgoods headline in ADORN, one of four vignettes in the Winter 2019 installment of FIRST LOOK. See the display in the Grand Plaza Courtyard Jan. 27-31 alongside ARCTIC, a nod to oceanic blues; FIESTA, a sun-soaked show of outdoor furnishings and accessories; and DESERTSCAPE, a pattern-packed presentation of casual comfort.

First up: ADORN showcases top-performing brands, market newcomers, new products and proven lines in a boutique-like setting; Melrose International’s new étagère sets the stage. At six feet high, it’s an instant focal point in a retail setting. A mirror, a hanging bar, and a three-tier shelving tower accommodate a range of personal accessories, apparel and jewelry, especially the gift-ready variety.

FIRST LOOK

Lucky Feather’s new bracelet-and-trinket-tray duo is a best example of the latter. A ceramic dish is tastefully packaged with a 14-karat-gold-dipped beaded bracelet. Lotus Jewelry Studio’s handcrafted Birthstone Collection, meanwhile, offers simple, yet elegant, rings and earrings (in either sterling silver or gold vermeil) that are displayed on a 2-inch-wide letterpress printed card.

FIRST LOOKHandcrafted products are featured elsewhere in the ADORN vignette; one example celebrates the art of Indian tie-dye, or bandhni. Each dot on Indika’s brightly colored scarves starts out as a hand-tied knot, a technique that creates both texture and relaxed drape. Another example: Vintage Addiction’s new roomy tote bags are made by hand from recycled canvas.
