WWDMAGIC: All Aflutter with Butterfly Designs, Denim for Fall

Given the frequent appearance of butterfly designs wavering throughout the WWDMAGIC fashion trade show, held in February in Las Vegas, fashion professionals might have thought they were at an entomology convention. At the biannual affair, the butterfly motif was just one of many trends that mark fall 2005 as a season of - to use a phrase echoed throughout the event - bohemian chic. Also getting back to nature is denim, which was represented in a multitude of variations primed for fall. Josh Dorfman, founder of Brooklyn's environmentally friendly lifestyle brand Vivavi, was excited to discover an organic denim line called Loomstate. Paula Haberichter, sales manager for Capital Tailors, a premium denim line with headquarters in Los Angeles, said there is a trend toward more finishing touches in denim.
