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.
