# Posh Pinstriped Frocks The Marc Jacobs Spring 2013 Collection Showcases 60s Cool Demeanor By Alexandra Serrano | Published 2012-09-11 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marc-jacobs-spring-2013-collection References: [fashionista](http://fashionista.com/2012/09/marc-jacobs-spring-2013-striped-and-stripped-down/) & [marcjacobs](http://www.marcjacobs.com/) With a front row that featured celebrities like Ricky Martin and Rachel Zoe, the Marc Jacobs Spring 2013 collection was a spectacle of runway poetry. Jacobs chose a 1960s muse for this collection, achieving the calculated balance of retro references that somehow seem refreshingly modern. This collection is certainly a breath of fresh air after the [decadence of the fall season](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-fall-2025) that was so focused on opulence. Despite its decidedly toned-down aesthetic, this Marc Jacobs collection did not disappoint in its take on the [decidedly simplistic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stein). For Spring 2013, the designer has capitalized the essence of the stripe, [radical dalmatian prints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-lilly-reserve-collection) and statement necklines. The neutral color palette defies the conventional floral for spring and creates a partiality to paradoxically understated-bold sartorial statements. With the Marc Jacobs Spring 2013 collection, the designer proves yet again why he dictates each season's costume de rigueur. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.6/10 - Popularity: 78% | Activity: 82% | 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) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Retro References:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore how to incorporate retro design elements in modern fashion collections. - **Statement Necklines:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop innovative ways to create bold and attention-grabbing necklines in clothing designs. - **Radical Dalmatian Prints:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Experiment with unconventional animal prints, such as dalmatian patterns, to bring a fresh twist to fashion collections. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate new techniques and materials to push the boundaries of fashion design and create unique garments. - **Textile Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop advanced printing and manufacturing processes to produce intricate and unconventional prints, like radical dalmatian patterns. - **Fashion Retail:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Embrace the trend of statement necklines and offer a wide range of bold and unique necklines in clothing options for customers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Stylish Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stylish-fashion-campaigns-marc-jacobs-unveils-its-spring-2025-marcworld-cam.md) - [Whimsical Spring Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Anna-Suis-SpringSummer-2025.md) - [Spring Fashion Blooms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reformation-spring-2025.md) - [Pixelated Runway Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pixelated.md) - [Statement-Making Fall Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-fall-2025.md) - [Art-Driven Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/joy-artist-capsule.md) - [Understated Spring-Centric Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stein.md) - [Intimate Spring Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-vuitton-springsummer-2026.md) - [Print-Forward Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-lilly-reserve-collection.md)
