Last week Fernando Dasilva was in New York and he managed to spend a little time people and window watching. These are some of the trends he picked up.

I can positively say that burgundy or bordeaux, navy blue and metallic grey are the strongest early fall colors for this season. Most of the windows on 5th Ave have those colours featured.
On the jewelry side, the Lord & Taylor windows spotlighted the gold-plated, oversized chains and the ‘modern hammered metal’ look trends.As far as beads, I saw about eight women wearing bib-style necklaces assembled with clear extra large acrylic drops, long, short, medium; also lots of cluster and multi-strand pearl necklaces (mostly white and ivory faux and acrylic pearls.) I also saw some Egyptian style large neck rings that covered the entire shoulder area.

These are some of our beads that fit the styles currently in vogue in Manhattan.
