# Olympic Combat Couture The Jeremy Laing Spring 2013 Line is Athletic By Jordy E | Published 2012-10-26 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jeremy-laing-spring-2013 References: [style](http://www.style.com/fashionshows/complete/S2013RTW-JLAING) & [jeremylaing](http://www.jeremylaing.com/) Jeremy Laing's Spring 2013 collection is full of texture and [intense layering](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/graphpaper-yoke). Laing's pieces evoke images of a posh, athletic duel if there ever was one with [tribal-esque components and airy fabrics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/junya-watanabe-x-reigning-champ), accommodating the swift movements that one would find in a standard James Bond film. Laing stuck to a neutral color palette for his Spring 2013 line. The charcoal hues and off-whites reflect his recent trip to New Orleans where he spent time on a bayou excursion. Coined by the designer as "swamp deco," he adds to a common craving for minimalism and simplicity in the realm of ready-to-wear. Embellishment is the word that best characterizes these ensembles. While the pieces are at base basic, they are intensely decorated with buttoned pouches and dangling pockets. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 41% | Activity: 42% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Athletic Glamour:** The trend of blending athletic wear with high fashion allows for innovative designs that are both functional and stylish. - **Minimalistic Embellishment:** The trend of emphasizing minimalistic design with the addition of strategically placed embellishments will appeal to consumers who seek a balance between simplicity and sophistication. - **Tribal-esque Accents:** The trend of incorporating tribal-esque accents into clothing creates a unique aesthetic that appeals to consumers who seek bold and distinct fashion choices. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can capitalize on the trend of athletic-inspired clothing by creating unique and functional designs that cater to consumers who prioritize comfort and practicality in their clothing. - **Sportswear:** The sportswear industry can explore innovative designs that incorporate elements of high fashion, thereby enhancing the aesthetic appeal of athletic clothing and potentially increasing sales. - **Textile:** The textile industry can benefit from the trend of minimalistic design by exploring new techniques and materials that enhance the simplicity of a piece while maintaining its quality and durability. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Gender-Fluid Ready-To-Wear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jeongli.md) - [Understated Spring-Centric Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stein.md) - [Spring Technical Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acoldwall-5.md) - [Experimental Fall Wardrobe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khaotique-noir.md) - [Locker Room-Inspired Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-locker-room.md) - [Utility Layering Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jjjjound-x-descente.md) - [Layered Utility Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/graphpaper-yoke.md) - [Artisinal Athletic Wear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/junya-watanabe-x-reigning-champ.md) - [seasonal spring wardrobes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/british-watersports-collegiate-prep.md)
