Brad Pitt - Neutral Color Pallet

"His choice is reflective of the overall trend towards neutrals in the market.

(asi/47965)

Demi Moore can pull of this body-hugging dress, or does she? What do you think?(surveys)

Drew Barrymore - Stripes

"Want to capture a crowd's attention instantly and look fashion forward at the same time – stripes is the way to go!" - Samantha Bingham, director of sales & product development, In Your Face Apparel (asi/62494)
