Hot Trends for summer/spring 2013

With 2013 finally here, we’re looking forward to fabulous new trends to try, finally seeing these trends off the catwalk and on to the red carpet and streets alike. These are some of the HOT trends to try and look out for for summer/spring 2013.

Global Glamor.
While the biggest influence was definitely Asian (Prada, Pucci, Etro), we also discovered India with Marchesa, Sicily with Dolce & Gabbana; South America with Temperley London (ikat prints); Spain with Ralph Lauren and European inspiration from Mary Katrantzou and her unique prints derived from blown-up vintage postage stamps.


Lightweight leather
The leathers for spring came with treatments that were perforated, laser cut, latticed and laced all giving them the featherweight quality that is best for warmer months. Designers include Ferragamo, Derek Lam, Balmain, Celine, Jason Wu, Saint Laurent, Monique Lhuillier, Proenza, 3.1 Phillip Lim, Loewe, Marni, Mugler and Miu Miu. What better way to give a girl some edge than with some soft core leather?


Fluidity and Flounce.
Flounce was seen across the body, along bare backs, extreme at necklines, at the waist and up thigh-high slits. The look is over-the-top and excessive which is anything but matronly. Doesn't spring bring out the romantic side of everyone? It sure seemed that way with the amount of flounce, ruffles, peplums and frills seen at Balenciaga, Givenchy, Gucci, Marni, Dior, Dries van Noten, Chloe, Burberry, Peter Pilotto, Altuzarra, Isabel Marant, Oscar de la Renta, Prabal Gurung, Ralph Lauren and more this season.


Hot Shades.
Next season the most popular hues will be as hot as the sun in varying degrees of yellow, orange and red. If you think you can't wear these hot hues, think again! Red was a hit at  Michael Kors, Dior, Proenza, Valentino and The Row; while orange sizzled at Diane von Furstenberg, Reed Krakoff, Carolina Herrera and Stella McCartney. Yellow shined brightly at Gucci, Louis Vuitton and Fendi.


Black and White.
This was the most dominant trend on the runways as seen at Givenchy, Proenza, Marc Jacobs, Oscar de la Renta, Louis Vuitton, Narciso Rodriguez, Stella McCartney, Chanel, Jason Wu, Jill Sander, Alexander Wang, Celine, Chanel, Valentino, 3.1 Phillip Lim, Giles, Michael Kors, Miu Miu, Roland Mouret, Ralph Lauren and Diane von Furstenberg.

Fall/Winter 2012

Fashion trends change with every season and as the weather changes, so do the the trends. The ensembles and colors for fall are more darker and the materials heavier. Here’s are look at the Fall/ Winter 2012 trends.

Print Obsession. Prints are still a fashion week favorite as designers pushed their print love and obsession to the limit with jackets that matched the patterned pants we’ve been seeing for some time. Paisley floral and painterly went head to toe at Miu Miu, Rag and Bone and Rochas.

MiuMiu Fall 2012

 Oversize. When it comes to outer wear, oversize and away from the body coats are the way to go as seen during Celine, Chloe and Balenciaga shows.

Celine Fall 2012

Fluff Pieces. Designers turned out an updated and modern way to wear fur which is as an accent. Sleeves at Fendi and Jason Wu were fuzzy, pelted skirts at mulberry and the shearling trim on leather dresses at Rodarte.

Fendi Fall 2012

Curve Emphasis. Stella MacCartney, Marc Jacobs and Lanvin kept focus on the waist by adding peplums, panniers and padding to hips for impact.

Stella McCartney 2012

Gothic Charm. After the display of blinding bright hues and busy prints during Resort 2013 Fashion Week, fashion has turned a gothic corner. Tough black leather turned up on the runway at Proenza Schouler, Givenchy and Versace.

Versace Fall 2012

Brocade Opulence. There was a common gold thread running through the season. Dries Van Noten, Marni, Balmain all channelled baroque opulence with rich brocades and embellishments.

Balmain F/W2012

The velvet touch. Super luxurious and comfortable, velvet is very wearable for fall. Opt for a reflective look for added curves.

Gucci F/W2012

Embellishment. Shine is a big deal this Fall/Winter with the emphasis on reflecting the light rather than catching it. Try injecting your look with some super-shiny additions like jewellery or an embellished dress.

Dolce and Gabbana F/W2012

Burgundy. It is hard to escape the rich darkness of burgundy. It is a fantastic colour to wear for fall because it is easy to co-ordinate and goes on anything.

Gucci F/W2012

Black and White. Everyone looks good in this classic monotone which is a nice way to break out of the all black ensembles that dominated the Fall/Winter 2012 catwalks.

Valentino F/W2012
