The Rebecca Taylor Fall 2012 Collection is Unexpectedly Dark

— February 13, 2012 — Fashion
The Rebecca Taylor Fall 2012 collection is not what you might expect from the New York City-based designer, who is typically known for floral prints and feminine silhouettes. However, the designer's fall offering is not about that in the slightest.

Instead, the Rebecca Taylor Fall 2012 collection is full of cozy coats (often with shearling, the season's hottest fabric), studded leggings, oversized sweaters, sheer tops, velvet bottoms and graphic prints.

"Our girl has a slightly darker heart," the designer told Style.com backstage before the show. "Our prints were feeling a little stale, so we took Rebecca Taylor staples and digitized them."

This clever combination of feminine and tough-girl fabrics make for a fantastic look that is undeniably and effortlessly chic.
Trend Themes
1. Dark-feminine Fashion - There is an opportunity for designers to explore the combination of feminine silhouettes with darker, edgier fabrics and prints, creating a unique and effortlessly chic look.
2. Shearling Coats - The use of shearling in coats presents an innovative opportunity for fashion brands to offer cozy and stylish outerwear options.
3. Digitized Prints - The trend of digitizing traditional prints provides an avenue for designers to refresh and reinvent their staple patterns, giving them a modern twist.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion Design - Fashion designers can explore the dark-feminine trend, incorporate shearling into their outerwear, and experiment with digitized prints to create disruptive and unique collections.
2. Textile Manufacturing - The increased demand for shearling fabric in fashion opens up opportunities for textile manufacturers to develop innovative and sustainable production methods for this material.
3. Graphic Printing Technology - The rise of digitized prints in fashion requires advancements in graphic printing technology, presenting a disruptive innovation opportunity for companies specializing in this field.
