ISSE ISSE BABY

Long Beach Ca just finished hosting the ISSE show over the weekend. And now as the colored hair clipping are being swept up off the floor and the hairspray is vented out of the building, I reflect on the spectacle that I saw. Sure there were new lines and amazing celebrity platform artist, but the attendees are what we all love about that show. They generate the style and energy better than any performance coming from the stages. The people I met and outfits I saw (or lack there of) showed me that this industry was ready to thrive with innovation this year. They are charged up and ready for twenty ten! They want new products! They want Exciting concepts! They want Education! This year things are going to turn around and beauty is back!
