Pre Fall 2013: The Trends

There's nothing like another season collection to get our hearts racing and our cards swiping. Here's a breakdown of the trends for Pre Fall 2013.

Textures:

Every season we are slapped in the face with what our texture choices for the season should be and for Spring 2013, coarse, organic feels were the dish of the day. This season though, garments are looking cozy, with chunky knits making a comeback and leather becoming more than just something to wear as a jacket.
