# Kaleidoscopic Motif Apparel The Peter Pilotto Resort 2013 Collection is Invigoratingly Optical By Erin Kirkpatrick | Published 2012-06-26 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peter-pilotto-resort-2013-collection References: [lostateminor](http://www.lostateminor.com/2012/06/26/kaleidoscopic-fashion-by-peter-pilotto-and-christopher-de-vos/) & [peterpilotto](http://www.peterpilotto.com/low.php) For fans of tribal patterns and optical illusion prints, the [Peter Pilotto Resort](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/instant-firmx-temporary-eye-tightener) 2013 collection is an intense explosion of colors and intricate kaleidoscopic-inspired ornamentation. This collection, created digitally by designers Peter Pilotto and Christopher de Vox, will have peepers working overtime in order to absorb the fantastic formats it flaunts. This Pre-Spring collection, which features streamlined fashions and surprisingly structured skirts, is a great alternative to solid-colored fashions and is sure to get positive attention. The resort collection offers above-the-knee skirts, chic jumpsuits, cutesy doll-like dresses and powerful pants. Enjoy the simple, structural design of these pieces as they contrast with the loud-mouth and attention-grabbing patterns they proudly boast. Many of the patterns and prints that embellish this elegant resort collection were inspired by medieval manuscripts that are currently housed at London's [Royal Library](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/copenhagen-fashion-week-ss27). The Peter Pilotto Resort 2013 collection beautifully combines whimsical patterns and prints with classic cuts and timelessly sophisticated styles. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.7/10 - Popularity: 78% | Activity: 54% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/stylephotography) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Optical Illusion Prints:** Incorporating optical illusion prints into clothing designs can create visually striking and attention-grabbing fashion statements. - **Kaleidoscopic-inspired Ornamentation:** Utilizing kaleidoscopic-inspired ornamentation in apparel can bring a unique and mesmerizing visual appeal to fashion collections. - **Digital Design in Fashion:** The use of digital design techniques in fashion allows for intricate patterns and prints to be created with precision and ease. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Design and Apparel:** Fashion designers can explore incorporating optical illusion prints and kaleidoscopic-inspired ornamentation in their collections to create visually stunning and trend-setting designs. - **Graphic Design and Printing:** Graphic designers and printing companies can offer their expertise in creating intricate and mesmerizing patterns for fashion designers looking to incorporate kaleidoscopic-inspired ornamentation into their apparel. - **Technology and Fashion:** The intersection of technology and fashion allows for the use of digital design techniques in creating unique and visually appealing patterns and prints for fashion collections. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Luxury Resort Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteurs-resort-2025-collection.md) - [Romantic Resort Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kallmeyer-resort-2026-collection.md) - [Joyous Spirit-Inspired Holiday Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/opa-collection.md) - [Pattern-Heavy Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/needles-new-collection.md) - [Print-Forward Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-lilly-reserve-collection.md) - [Resort-Ready Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marie-oliver.md) - [Colorfully Patterned Bold Skiwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ski-collection-1.md) - [Modern Vacation Pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/resort-wear-collection.md) - [Pixelated Runway Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pixelated.md)
