Next unveils a forward thinking women’s collection for SS13 mixing delicate blooms, graphic prints and structured lines. Texture is also key with lace, brocade and applique.
Feminine softness in the form of delicate florals and tailoring in soft hues of cream, powder peach and mushroom with highlights of exotic pink provide a subtle hint that summer is on the way. Cute and traditional boucle suits and jackets are mixed with graphic Aztec prints and peg leg trousers in metallic, black, gold and cream. Contrast collars and intricate cut out detail add charm and softness. The big trends on the SS13 catwalk are reflected in chic monochromes, electric blue and the softest of greys all in a no nonsense simple silhouette. Structured suiting, slick pencil skirts and dresses that will wow time and time again are either on trend striped, polka dot or decorated with a graphic floral print. Lace trimmed tops and blue denim shirts have all been roughed up slightly and are paired with printed flippy skirts and the skinniest of colored jeans.
Next celebrates men’s SS13 with an abundance of color, print and pattern. Heritage and tradition are ever present and run throughout the collection which also has a serious modern edge allowing men of today to appear dapper and of the moment. Color is key with tops in bright, bold yellow, orange and cobalt blue and denim jeans in all washes from raw sun washed vintage to bleached effects - and everything in between - available in straight, slim and skinny fit.
The colored chino is still strong and available in softer sun-bleached colors and summer blues.
Girls of all ages will be enjoying lazy days in the sun this season where playful imaginations come to life. Strong craft influences, including detailed patchwork and beautifully stitched trims, give a handmade feel. This trend encapsulates little free spirits, with hints of ditsy florals mixed with delicate lace in flowing tops and dresses. Soft laundered chinos in neutral colors of mink and peach are paired with T-shirts and camis with flashes of bright coral and metallic accents.
Bring out the mini fashionista with this season's explosion of bold colour rolled into a 60s vibe collection. Oversized houndstooth prints, vertical stripes and geometric designs are at the centre of this trend. Think skinny jeans, tunic dresses and peplum tops all dressed down with bomber style jackets and hi-top trainers.
