Catch the Spring/Summer 2013 Trends!

<strong>An understated oriental mood pervades the entire fashion scene</strong><br />This season's most striking style is undoubtedly the one that incorporates inspiration from the cultures and traditional clothing of Asian countries, including Japan. Prada's looks are a prime example. The brand's proposal of styles that exude oriental essence, with motifs reminiscent of family crests or ink wash paintings, the texture of kimono-like fabrics, and footwear evoking tabi socks or geta sandals, became a major talking point. Whether through prints, details, or the way outerwear is worn like a haori kimono in the looks from Miu Miu and Dries Van Noten, we want to enjoy this season's style by adding a single oriental touch to our everyday outfits.<br /><br />PRADA

<strong>The ultimate "cool woman" look: a new interpretation of the smoking jacket</strong><br />This season saw a surge in mannish tailored styles, spearheaded by the highly anticipated new Saint Laurent under Hedi Slimane, which garnered significant attention from the fashion world. The smoking jacket, a symbolic piece created by Monsieur Saint Laurent himself, has been reinterpreted by Slimane with a rock-infused expression, presenting a supremely cool female image that cannot be overlooked when discussing this season's trends. The key to a contemporary look is the "tuxedo." Many tuxedo jackets were seen in various styles. The balance between the jacket and bottoms is crucial, as seen in the compact short-and-slim silhouette from Saint Laurent, and the big-and-slim combination from Balmain.

<strong>The keyword for this season's "relaxed feel" is "sporty"!</strong><br />To achieve a relaxed feel for the spring and summer season, mixing in sporty elements is the way to go this year. Incorporate sports-inspired items like sweatshirt tops or mountain parkas, or opt for details like the material of tracksuits or drawstring pants. Finishing the look with sneakers is also very contemporary. When styling, remember that it's about "mixing" sporty elements. For example, if you wear a mountain parka, pair it with ladylike booties or pumps. Conversely, combine feminine pieces with sneakers. Always aim for a balance that enhances your feminine style.<br /><br />STELLA McCARTNEY

<strong>An impact of patterns sweeps the trend scene!</strong><br />Graphical, floral, abstract, tropical… Bold patterns, creating a whirlwind in the scene with the force of a storm, are one of the defining styles of this season's trends! Even minimalists must incorporate "patterned items" this spring and summer. Key features include large patterns that make an immediate impact, and the free mixing of different patterns, such as check and stripes, or geometric and floral. Check out the art of pattern usage that achieves "this season's feel" with a single piece.<br /><br />DOLCE & GABBANA

<strong>Welcome to a graphical paradise, dazzling with visual effects</strong><br />Starting with Louis Vuitton's head-to-toe Damier pattern look, the most distinctive style this season is the use of graphical patterns. Checkerboard patterns like Louis Vuitton's, as well as the fine geometric patterns and the overall graphical impression created by color blocking in the looks from Hermès and Fendi, are noteworthy. For stripes, which are easy to incorporate, "wide" is the trend this year.<br /><br />MARC JACOBS

<strong>Checkmate for this season's trends! The key is the "effortless" feel of checks</strong><br />Like stripes, "checks" are easy to incorporate. Dries Van Noten's style, in particular, exudes an outstanding "effortless" vibe. The free mixing of checks seen here is the art of this season's styling. Not just checks, but also combining different patterns like leopard and floral is a great idea. Achieve an "of-the-moment" look by casually incorporating checks to finish your styling.<br /><br />Dries Van Noten

<strong>A riot of floral prints brings styles to life!</strong><br />Floral prints, characteristic of the spring and summer season, are also powered up this season in line with the pattern-conscious trend! This year, opt for dynamic floral patterns drawn boldly, rather than delicate small floral prints. Furthermore, three-dimensional floral motifs are appearing, not only in prints but also created with lace and ruffles. These fresh approaches will help you achieve a more contemporary style.<br /><br />MOSCHINO

<strong>Abstract patterns that leave a vivid or mysterious impression</strong><br />Unlike graphical, floral, or animal patterns, which make an immediate, and in a sense, "obvious" impact, abstract patterns, while impactful, leave a subtle impression with their elusive nature. They offer a sophisticated playfulness suitable for adults, setting them apart from children's wear. These patterns, which can elevate an outfit to an advanced level on their own, are a strong ally for the modern woman.<br /><br />FENDI

<strong>Vivid colors leave a strong impression; neon colors are especially fresh this year!</strong><br />Bold patterns were prominent this season, and the color palette was equally vibrant. While striking vivid colors adorned the trends, hot pink, in particular, stood out with its edgy appeal. The key is to wear it coolly, rather than with a feminine image. Furthermore, neon colors are arguably the most contemporary element. Even if wearing them head-to-toe is too much, incorporating them as accents can instantly give your look a "this season" feel.<br /><br />LANVIN

<strong>Metallic colors are this season's must-have!</strong><br />Alongside neon colors, metallic hues are another characteristic of this year's trends. In addition to classic gold and silver, pay attention to styles that incorporate strong, colorful shine like Burberry Prorsum, and the romantic shimmer of aurora colors seen in Dior's looks. Whether you opt for the edgy coolness of metallic colors or a feminine finish with delicate luster, the right accent of light is key to this season's styling.<br /><br />BURBERRY PRORSUM

<strong>Playful candy colors pair perfectly with neon!</strong><br />While vibrant vivid colors paint the scene, this season also saw many candy colors that balance delicacy and sweetness. This palette pairs exceptionally well with neon colors, and a fresh approach is to combine candy colors throughout an outfit, matching the tones. Will you go for the "strong" vivid colors or the "sweet" candy colors this spring and summer?<br /><br />CHANEL ©CHANEL

<strong>This season, ruffles shift to glamorousラッフル (ruffles)</strong><br />Peplums, which have been popular for several seasons, and ruffles, a representative feminine detail perfect for light spring and summer styles, are now giving way to more glamorousラッフル (ruffles) this season. Take inspiration from Chloe's looks, where the chestラッフル (ruffles) sway dynamically with movement, and Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci's looks, which create structured silhouettes with boldラッフル (ruffles) usage.<br /><br />Chloé

<strong>Layering with transparency: the key is transparent materials!</strong><br />Soft, delicate, and transparent materials that bring an airy feel to your style and enhance femininity have always garnered attention, but they haven't often become mainstream. This season, however, is different. This spring and summer, "layering with transparency" is the mantra, regardless of style. Discover the new art of layering.<br /><br />Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci
