The style Council outlook for Children's Fall / Winter 2007 includes four main themes: All Hands on Deck, Beach Safari, Free Spirit and Urban Heroes.


All Hands on Deck


- Nautical Emblems
- Athletic Motifs
- Canvas and Denim
- Stripes and Plaids
- Embroidery
- Applique
- Aquatic

Crisp, clean nautical style. Functional denim and sailcloth basics team up with anchors, boats, athletic motifs and a cast of underwater characters to create a strong graphic narrative. Stripes, plaids and polka dots add drama, whilst seersucker embroidery and applique bring in playful textures.


Colors: Classic red, white and blue are refreshed with aqua, coral and lime.



Beach Safari


- Vivid tropicals
- Utilitarian khaki
- Flowers, butterflies and animals
- Nature inspired
- Hand drawn prints
- Textured/stenciled graphics
- Adventure/Explorer

Crazy kids run free in tropical island locations. T-shirts in sunny shades are appliqued with exotic animals, butterflies and flowers. Pair with utilitarian khaki or patterned and fruit printed swimwear. Prints feature spontaneous hand drawn images, textured stenciling and graphics or can incorporate cut outs and embroidery. Embrace the carefree spirit of adventure; explore and commune with nature!


Colors: Bright, juicy jungle tones of kiwi, tangerine, banana and watermelon. Mix with lush greens, ocean tones and practical khakis.


Free Spirit


- Summer of Love
- Rainbows, dots and stars
- Peace and love graphics
- Paisleys and 60's florals
- Tie dye
- Spiritual, Hippy
- Crochet and beads

Feel the optimistic spirit of the gypsy wanderer. Kids hang out at colorful festivals in tie-dyes, batiks and retro, peace and love graphic tees. Re-iterate the hippy vibe with 60's inspired floral and paisley prints, rainbows, stars, crochet and beads. Layer tiered or ruffled skirts with embroidered peasant tops to reflect this sense of freedom and utopian values.


Colors: Colorful, spirited shades of daffodil, sky, peppermint and lavender with sassy fuchsia and rose.



Urban Heroes


- Street sports
- Comic-strip characters
- Cars and bikes
- 3D applications
- Wrestling and superheroes
- Bold graphics
- Primary color combination

Rough and tumble street sports, skateboards, bikes and fast cars. DJ's, music, wrestling and superheroes. In your face graphics, street art, comic-strip characters, animation and cut and paste collage all influence this modern, edgy story. Confident combinations of print and embroidery, 3D appliques, patches and dye techniques all reflect the chaos of the urban landscape.


Colors: Pure primaries are at the core of this dynamic palette. Red, blue, yellow, green and orange. Concrete, inky black and white create a stark contrast.

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.
