Spring Summer 13 Fashion Trends


COLOR: Two predominant color stories emerge. Both brights
  and muted tones are of equal importance. The major
  stories are:


* Color blocks continue but the new and stronger trend is 
  monochromatic dressing from head to toe. Call it color  
  minimalism.
* Look for an abundance of white.
* Black and white combinations are extremely strong.
* The blue family was a key statement on the runways. Watch
   for fresh underwater colors such as aqua, turq, ocean blue
   and electric blue.
* Orange in all shades is the new neutral.
* Hot pink is seasonless.


FABRIC: Mixed media surfaces and patchwork looks continue.
  The strongest trends in fabrication are:

* Sheers: Chiffon, organza, and laces, often layered.
* Warm weather leathers: Python, suede and snake, newest
  in color, white or metallics.
* Silk
* Cotton and muslins.
* Denim and workwear fabrics.


PRINT / PATTERN: Print and pattern continue strongly but are
   more subdued. A potpourri of stories emerge and it is a 
   print remix.

* Stripes: bold and graphic in alternating widths is the
  number one story.
* Florals: From realistic to botanical looks with Japanese
  floral prints as the newest.
* Geometrics: Graphic designs, grid patterns, digital looks.
* Sea and Sand: From seascapes to palm leaves, the mood is
  pure summer.


SILHOUETTE: Graphic modern lines replace soft shapes and
  draping. The new shapes emerging are based on the new
  geometry with A-line and boxy silhouettes being key.


DETAILS: Bias cut ruffles, flounces, leg baring slits, laser cut 
  outs, active sport elements, cargo or utility detailing, 
  embroidery, beadwork zippers, peplums, black piping, bare
  midriffs.
