Joseph is a label that is reinventing itself and its direction. The point of view of the 2013 ready-to-wear collection is slouchy, sculptural and relies on volume for drama. Stand-outs from the intense series include luxurious over-sized graphic sweaters, lambskin jackets, tiger-stripe suede pants, slim-fit striped trousers and voluminous coats. One absolute must-purchase from the collection is the black and white chevron-patterned sheepskin coat. The Joseph Fall 2013 ready-to-wear collection is a triumph and marks a new chapter in the label's fashion direction. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.2/10 - Popularity: 91% | Activity: 86% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Transcendent Basics:** The Joseph Fall 2013 ready-to-wear collection redefines basics, providing an opportunity for brands to create luxury staples that are easily interchangeable. - **Sculptural Volumes:** The collection relies on slouchy, sculptural designs that utilize volume for dramatic effect, inspiring designers to experiment with shape and proportion. - **Graphic Patterns:** The use of oversized graphic sweaters and chevron-patterned coats in the collection presents an opportunity for brands to incorporate bold graphic patterns into their designs. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion:** The Joseph Fall 2013 collection's focus on reinvention and sculptural volumes opens up opportunities for designers and brands in the fashion industry to explore new directions and styles. - **Luxury:** The collection's emphasis on luxury staples and high-quality materials like lambskin and suede creates opportunities for luxury brands to create high-end, standout pieces. - **Textile:** The use of graphic patterns and different fabrics, such as sheepskin, presents opportunities for textile manufacturers to create innovative materials for fashion designers to use in their collections. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Seasonal Fashion Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/siegelman-stable-1.md) - [Fall-Ready Bejewelled Denim Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jacob-cohn.md) - [Oversized Winter Fashion Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/american-symphony.md) - [Statement-Making Fall Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-fall-2025.md) - [Versatile Sculptural Outerwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/transhabit-collection.md) - [Experimental Fall Wardrobe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khaotique-noir.md) - [Minimalist Wardrobe Essentials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heritage-core.md) - [Fall-Centric Layered Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uniqlo-u-fw24.md) - [Transitional Wardrobe Range](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mm6-maison-margiela-prefall.md)
