This Paris report absorbs the mood from previous catwalk cities and defines the key trends for SS ’13 and beyond. Our unique edit of the shows highlights all the exciting developments and new directions. The Japanese influence featured in Japanese Dynamic is proving to be an unstoppable force, providing a minimal look with an edgy vibe. Other trends lean into masculine or feminine territory: in Masc + Femme, we look at the new ways women are embracing masculine styles, and in Neo-Feminine the femininity proves to be both sophisticated and provocative. Abstract Subtract embraces the optimism of the sixties and transports it forward with renewed excitement.
