High Point Market Authority Releases Style Report

June 3, 2015  by in Designer Weekly   

The 36-page report was developed by the Market Authority’s eight-member team of 2015 Style Spotters, who shopped the Spring High Point Market for the top must-have items. Those picks have been translated into the top trends for the Report.

The Style Report is available online.

The Style Spotters program, launched during the October 2011 Market, features home fashion pace setters that showcase their favorite products and top trends from Market exhibitors on Pinterest. 

For 2015, a new team of Style Spotters was chosen, led by Michelle Jennings Wiebe, a veteran of the 2013 program and HPMA’s Style Spotter “Emeritus”. When one of the team found a treasure, they presented exhibitors with signs that highlighted the Style Spotter’s name with a QR code and URL for the High Point Market Pinterest board.

Style Spotters who contributed to the Style Report for Spring/Summer 2015 are as follows:

° Michelle Jennings Wiebe, ASID (FL), Style Spotter “Emeritus”, Studio M, @StudioM_, who wrote the introduction to the Report

° Arianne Bellizaire (LA), Inspired to Style, @InspiredArianne

° Kati Curtis (NY), Kati Curtis Design, @DesignerKati

° Beth Dotolo (WA), Pulp Design Studios, @PULPdesigns

° Lori Gilder (CA), Interior Makeovers Inc., @LoriGilder

° Courtney Lake (CA), Monogram Décor, @CourtneyOutLoud

The Style Spotters team for 2015 will work through both Markets (April and October), which allows for continuity and expanded marketing possibilities for the High Point Market Authority. 

Applications to be considered for the 2016 Style Spotters team will be accepted starting in November of 2015.
