With Paris Fashion Week wrapping up, similar thought amongst the designers was the monochromatic theme popping up in the spring 2013 collections. Between monochromatic head gear to minimalist attire, these collections are riding the same trend wave. Next season is bound to have people dressing in black and white threads with sleek tailoring courtesy of runways such as Chanel, Saint Laurent and Moschino.
Long draping skirts a la Rick Owens, black hats from Saint Laurent and sleek tomboy ensembles courtesy of Balenciaga will grasp the streets and street style photographers for the impending spring 2013 season. The previous spring 2012 season saw colorful garments and crazy floral prints, however this year monochromatic threads are all the rage.
