Focus On: Fruit Fashion
GETTING FRUITY No summer celebration is complete without strawberries and this Baby Strawberry costume from the Travis Dress up by Design collection is available from Amscan. Moon Glow’s ‘Fruity’ neon lip gloss is popular for party retailers during festival season and comes in a range of colours with different flavours such as: Strawberry, Tangerine, Raspberry, Apple etc. Rasta Imposta’s ‘Avocado’ and ‘Avocado on Toast’ are new additions to the collection and offer an unusual twist on the fruit trend. This totally tropical Shineapple suit from OppoSuits makes you look tough on the outside and sweet on the inside just like the beloved Ananas Comosus. Available in both summer suit and regular styles. Widmann’s Mr and Mrs Banana offer a fruity take on the traditional couples costume.
These Pineapple funshades from Amscan are sure to get anyone into the party mood and are perfect for photobooths. This lightweight fruity foam hat from Palmer Agencies takes the concept to a whole new level!
Add a tropical touch to buffets and beverages with these colourful honeycomb fruit themed picks from Amscan.
Fruit is everywhere this year, in both fashion and home décor, so Folat has introduced a line of fun inflatable drink holders in watermelon, pineapple, lemon and lime designs. Qualatex’s impressive 44” Golden Pineapple balloon from Pioneer Europe has performed really well, as have the accompanying range of 18” pineapple-themed balloons which complete the fun, tropical collection. The ‘Watermelon Whimsy’ range from Creative Party brightens up the party table and is perfect for picnics, BBQs, brunches and more.
We’re not entirely sure if this aubergine costume from Palmer Agencies is classed as a fruit, but it’s fruity enough to pass the PPE test. For 2018 Rasta Imposta has added a range of fun lightweight fruit tunic-style costumes, including the ‘Watermelon Slice’, ‘Strawberry Costume’ and ‘Big Kahuna Pineapple’.
To help add a fruity twist to the surroundings, Folat’s décor collection also includes a 6m Tropical Fruit banner and fun fruity honeycombs.
