The technique works on solid fabrics and plaids.</li><li>Dyes that look like were rubbed or sponge painted create cloud-like effects on cotton jersey or silk.</li><li>Tailored wool coats and jackets have bleaded or dyed effects at hems and cuffs.<br />Hand painted looks using dyes or bleach helps create a unique, customized look.</li></ul><h3><strong>Why We Love This</strong></h3><ul><li>Dyes and washes are playing a key role in driving creativity.</li><li>The good news is that often times manufacturers can produce dramatic, one-of-a-kind looks at very little cost.</li><li>This gives designers plenty of opportunities, regardless of the price points they need to meet.</li></ul><h3><b>Target Market</b></h3><ul><li>Ideally for thirty-something customer who wants a look that’s fashion forward and edgy, but that is also sophisticated. This customer can afford to pay mid-tier or designer prices. This works for both men and women.</li><li>For the Junior market, look to dip-dyed, gradient, and cloud dye effects on cotton jersey (casualwear) or polyester satin (dressier).</li></ul>
