# Slouchy Chromatic Couture The Paul Smith Fall 2013 Collection is Full of Color and Shape By Jordy E | Published 2013-02-21 | Luxury Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paul-smith-fall-2013 References: [mode.newslicious.net](http://mode.newslicious.net/2013/02/london-fashion-week-paul-smith-fall-2013.html) & [paulsmith](http://www.paulsmith.com) The Paul Smith Fall 2013 collection was exhibited as a part of this year's London Fashion Week. The event was witness to the upscale house's coming preference for color as the models sported a diverse array of reds, pinks and blues on the high end catwalk. Fans of the [Paul Smith label](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reimagined-by-paul-smith) will surely appreciate the brand's ability to convey form and structure via [loose apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/undercover-5). Slouchy leather pants and cloth trousers were markedly feminine, especially when paired with aggressive pops of color. This [Fall 2013 line](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/siegelman-stable-1) has consequently broken several fashion molds, creating its own womanly niche within an industry that often prefers skin tight cuts and revealing ensembles. Chunky oversize accessories furthered this theme. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 70% | Activity: 20% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Luxury](https://www.trendhunter.com/luxury) > [Luxury Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/luxuryfashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Colorful Fashion:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the fashion industry by introducing more color and vibrancy in apparel. - **Slouchy Apparel:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the fashion industry by promoting loose and comfortable clothing options. - **Feminine Structure:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the fashion industry by combining femininity with structured and oversized accessories. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the fashion industry to challenge traditional cuts and ensembles. - **Leather:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the leather industry by providing slouchy leather pants and introducing new colors. - **Accessories:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the accessories industry by focusing on chunky, oversized accessories that enhance feminine structure. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Experimental Fall Wardrobe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khaotique-noir.md) - [Punk Rock-Informed Fall Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superculture-collection.md) - [Statement-Making Fall Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-fall-2025.md) - [Minimally Elegant Fall-Ready Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-nicholson-1.md) - [Reimagined Colorful Furniture Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reimagined-by-paul-smith.md) - [Pattern-Heavy Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/needles-new-collection.md) - [90s Grunge-Inspired Fall Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-october-collection.md) - [Parisian Sophisticated Fall Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nn07.md) - [Fall-Centric Dynamic Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/undercover-5.md)
