Top 10 Trends Fall 2013
Quilting
Everything from outerwear to cocktail dresses was quilted this seasons at shows including Rebecca Minkoff, DKNY , Catherine Malandrino Black Label and Rag & Bone.
Peplum
It appears that peplums are here to stay given that they were seen in what felt like every show. See Vera Wang , Oscar de la Renta , Michael Kors , Richard Chai and Alexander Herchcovitch.
Tassels
The 70s are back, but with restraint. Designers, including Diane von Furstenberg and Chado Ralph Rucci , worked in tasteful references including tassels.
Velvet
Velvet can easily make a look appear dated, but this season many designers, including Zac Posen , J. Mendel , Chado Ralph Rucci and Tadashi Shoji , offered up modern options.
Leopard
Like peplum, it appears that leopard is here to stay thanks to collections from DKNY, Elie Tahari, Peter Som , Herve Leger by Max Azria and J. Crew , among others.
Leather
Leather everything was seen this season, taking the material well beyond a stiff biker look. Supple leather pieces were shown on runways including those of Carmen Marc Valvo , BCBGMaxAzria , Altuzarra , Rachel Zoe and 3.1 Phillip Lim.
Fur Handbags
PETA beware: designers, including Donna Karan , Herve Leger by Max Azria and J. Mendel , let fur creep into their accessories this season.
Darks and Neutrals
Most fall/winter seasons have at least a few collections that are brightly hued, but nearly every major show in the Fall 2013 lineup was focused on dark hues and neutrals. See Alexander Wang , The Row and Calvin Klein.
Houndstooth
Houndstooth was the print of the season, appearing on countless major runways including Tommy Hilfiger , Thom Browne , Rebecca Minkoff , Rag & Bone and J. Crew .
