The style Council outlook for Children's Fall / Winter 2007 includes four main themes: Craftyville, Casual Fraternity, Mountain State and Devils and Angels.

Craftyville

- Folk motifs
- Stitching
- Patchwork
- Knits
- Crochet
- Buttons and Ribbons

The definitive folk story; crafty kids cozy up in rainbow hued patchwork and knits. Piece and sew together peasant motifs, stripes and crocheted flowers, layering both texture and color. Use cute hearts, animal appliques and decorative buttons for knits and wovens, then trim with folky braids and ribbons. A patchwork of print and pattern for kids with a sense of fun and style.


Colors: A multi-hued palette of blush, lilac, plum and madder with turquoise, French navy, citrus green and lollipop orange.



Casual Fraternity

- Military
- Collegiate
- Stripes
- Crests and Badges
- Classic Herringbones and Argyles
- Embroidered Motifs

Join the club but retain your individuality. Reminisce old school days in classic tie stripes, herringbones and argyles; which are more relaxed when combined with well-loved denim and creative graphics. Accent overprinted knits and jersey with crests and collegiate badges and use subtle military detailing. Rough embroidered emblems make a suitable print alternative.


Colors: Collegiate shades of claret, navy, dark khaki and flannel grey combined with peacock blue, scarlet and tangerine.



Mountain State

- Outdoors
- Scenic Placements
- Snowboarding Graphics
- Nordic
- Chunky Knits
- Textures

Indulge in outdoor pursuits wrapped in winter layering. Whether snowboarding, hiking or communing with nature; fair isles, chunky knits and fleece will keep out the cold. Quirky animal imagery and scenic placements reference both woodland and mountain; pair with practical sporty graphics or textured Nordic patterns. For girlyness, overprint or embroider pretty florals.


Colors: Icy, winter tones of glacier blue, storm and frost are warmed by forest green, khaki, flame and pumpkin.



Devils and Angels

- Bikers
- Distressed Denim
- Tattoo Motifs
- Graphics
- Music Reference
- Badges and Patches

Biker boys and girls rev up for winter fun in distressed denims and graphic t-shirts. Be naughty or nice in music inspired logos; raw edged patches and tattoo motifs enhance the tough, grunge/punk feeling. Travel both on and off road, crossing state lines by truck, motorcycle or dirt bike; worn out layers of jersey, denim and leather tell your story.


Colors: A striking palette of jet, scarlet and stark white with denim blue, verdigris, sky and Ferrari yellow.

Insight. Innovation. Authority. In 1982, TSC's founders harnessed more than 10 years of industry insight working for the top designers in New York and Paris, and an intimate knowledge of Asia, to realize their vision-a superior one-stop studio that combined the manufacturing, design, and merchandising processes under one roof. Armed with an intimate understanding of their clients needs, TSC hired the best creative and tech design team in the industry and an innovative new studio was born. Next, TSC enlisted a seasoned sales team with first hand knowledge of the industry, as well as relationships with the top retailers, designers, merchandisers and manufactures here and abroad. And while TSC's objective never changed, our clients' challenges of competing in a global market did. To meet those needs, TSC invested in the smartest technologies and expanded its basic concept to include a total design facility, capable of taking projects from concept to completion. With a focus on employee stability and an ability to move steps ahead of the trends, TSC is now the country's leading design and service studio. What we design and how it is manufactured today is different from what we made last season, last year, twenty years ago. But the essence of TSC hasn't changed; we continue to be creatively driven and technically innovative, with a fashion forward insight on knowing what our customers need.
