# Eccentric Manhattanite Editorials The Mimi Plange A/W13 Features a Glamourous Rich New Yorker By Tia Clarke | Published 2013-03-02 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mimi-plange-aw13 References: [mimiplange](http://www.mimiplange.com) & [vimeo](http://vimeo.com/user836594) The Mimi Plange A/W13 collection is a visual feast. The lookbook was photographed in a chic apartment in New York. With a zebra head mounted on the wall and elaborate baroque curtains as a backdrop, the Autumn/Winter 2013 collection looks like it could have used in 'The Royal Tenenbaums' film. The clothes themselves are brimming with [understated elegance](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-journey). The bright, bold pairings of red and purple and geometric cuts exude [New York chic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bergdorf-goodmans). This collection is perfect for elegant women in their late twenties or thirties who want something that will carry them on from [work wear into the evening](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/after-hours-collection). I especially love the black dress with the exaggerated white collar, which provides an alternative to the classic black formal dress. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.6/10 - Popularity: 93% | Activity: 98% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## 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 - **Understated Elegance:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop a line of clothing that combines sophisticated design with comfortable and practical materials. - **Geometric Cuts:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create a line of clothing that incorporates bold and geometric cuts to add a modern and edgy twist to traditional designs. - **Versatile Work-to-evening Wear:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design a collection of clothing that seamlessly transitions from office attire to evening wear, providing a convenient and stylish solution for busy professionals. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore advancements in sustainable fashion practices to create environmentally-friendly clothing options. - **Interior Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate innovative and unique design elements into interior spaces, such as incorporating animal-inspired decor. - **Luxury Goods:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop high-end products that cater to the sophisticated tastes of affluent consumers, offering unique and exclusive experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Modern Minimalist Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-latest-summer-edit.md) - [Holiday-Inspired Evening Wear Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcqueen-holiday-2025.md) - [Politically-Inspired Runway Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selkies-the-libertine-collection.md) - [Lounge-Focused Winter Wear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lounge-club-collection.md) - [Pattern-Heavy Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/needles-new-collection.md) - [Stylish City-Inspired Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diors-2024-collection.md) - [Seasonal Fashion Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/siegelman-stable-1.md) - [Chic Corporate-Inspired Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/after-hours-collection.md) - [Minimally Elegant Fall-Ready Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-nicholson-1.md)
