A visual feast of collaged imagery on flat fabrics and dimensional ruffles and flounces saturate Peter Pilotto’s Spring Ready-to-wear 2013 collection. Patterns are also built up with beadwork and embroidery, setting this collection apart from the blast of dazzling printed fabrics that have been hitting the runways for seasons

A touch of Americana, this collection from Thakoon Addition reminds me of a simple American girl in a small midwestern town. Soft, feminine and cute are certainly words to describe their Spring 2013 Ready-to-Wear collection, with combinations of micro-florals, imitation denim, eyelet dresses and tops immersed in a pastel palette with hints of oranges, fuchsia and cerulean blues.

The Spring 2013 Ready-to-Wear collection from Matthew Williamson is adorned with saturated colors either running down the length of the garment as well as bright, tweedy weaves inspired by traditional Indian tapestries. The collection eludes to digital degradation with the tight pixel-like weaves and washed out saturated colors.

This season’s Spring 2013 collection by Chris Benz combine influences from the macabre and a zombie apocalypse. “I wanted it to be pretty in an off-putting way”, says Benz.

The concept of more-is-more suits the overall design of Benz’s collection.
