going to the gym, women are
looking to have a wrap dress
to layer over workout clothes.

People are also moving away
from fringes.

“Where do the trends
come from?” Bloom said. “It
used to come from the fash-
ion shows, but now trends are
everywhere. Trends come from
streetstyle. They come from
the music industry. They come
from travel. All the French edi-
tors and British editors and
Japanese editors are going to
New York and looking look at
trends, and all the New York
editors are going to Japan and
Milan and London looking for
trends. It ends up being a mish-
mash of things that are out
there in the global world mar-
ketplace that we’re living in.”
Joan Shepp, co-owner of Joan
Shepp in Center City, said she’s
noticing more color and mixed
patterns, “like a dress might
have plaids and checks, but it
all seems to go together.” The
increasingly popularity of color
is especially noteworthy at a
boutique like Joan Shepp, which
tends to carry darker attire.

“Fashion is pretty exciting
right now,” Shepp said.

Customers are buying
a lot more hats now, Shepp
said, in a variety of different
Prajje Oscar power suit
styles. Mixed patterns, pleated
skirts and new shapes are
also popular.

“I’ve been in this business
for over 45 years, and what’s
exciting in this business is that
things change,” Shepp said.

“Some people want to go with
the change, let’s say, short skirts
to long skirts, or all kinds of
different things. Some people
like to dress as they have been
most of their lives, and what-
ever makes them feel good is
what they should be wearing.” l

JESSE BERNSTEIN | JE STAFF
FOR THIS YEAR’S edition of
The Look, the Jewish Exponent
spoke to interior design-
ers across the area about the
trends they’re seeing take off in
2019 when it comes to kitchen
and bathroom design.

By and large, they agreed
that the
contemporary, European-style philosophy of
clean lines and multi-func-
tional spaces that reduce clut-
ter are leading the charge.

Kitchens “Excess is out,” said Tina
Delia of Delia Designs.

Delia, an independent inte-
rior design consultant based in
the Wanamaker Building, draws
a line between this trend and the
hit Netflix series Tidying Up with
Marie Kondo, a reality show fol-
lowing Kondo as she applies her
vaunted Konmari system to clut-
tered, messy houses. Though not
crediting the show completely
with the trend, she said, it was
at least worth mentioning as a
factor. Her clients seem to want
to hold on to less.

She’s begun to receive more
requests for open shelving in
the kitchen, in line with min-
imalist style that’s becoming
more popular. Wider, deeper
sinks are in high demand,
along with color cabinets and
black stainless appliances.

“People are being a little
bolder with their appliances,”
she noted.

Katy Lynn (of designs by
Katy Lynn) noted that as well.

More of her clients have begun
to request colored appliances,
especially when it comes to
ranges. And like Delia, she’s
been inundated with questions
about larger sinks that can
function as a sort of “work
station,” she said. These types
of sinks can include nesting

counter-top. “You can use it as more than
a sink to wash your dishes,
which is nice,” she said. As for
the clean lines of the European
style, she said, it’s not quite
new — “It’s kinda been coming
in waves,” she noted — but it’s
only now that it seems to have
