The model for the collection's look book is featured wearing a variety of brightly colored and patterned frocks, skirts and tops. The model's hair was styled in short, tight curls and dyed a mint green hue, which closely resembles the color of mint chocolate cream ice cream. Mixed with the model's psychedelic and trippy prints, the overall look is eye-catching and perfect for the fashionista looking to stand apart in a crowd. The Romance Was Born Spring/Summer 2013 collection was titled 'The Miraculous Mundane,' which is rather ironic as there is absolutely nothing boring or standard about this fabulous line. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 46% | Activity: 31% | 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) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Colorful Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Creating unique and vibrant clothing designs that catch the eye and stand out in a crowd. - **Psychedelic Prints:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Developing innovative printing techniques to produce trippy and mesmerizing patterns on various fabrics. - **Unconventional Hairstyles:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Designing new hair products and techniques to achieve bold and unconventional looks. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborating with designers to incorporate bright colors and psychedelic prints into their collections. - **Textile Printing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Investing in research and development to create new methods for producing vivid and mesmerizing patterns on fabrics. - **Haircare:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Developing products and techniques to achieve unique and unconventional hairstyles for those looking to stand apart. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Candy-Inspired Holiday Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/candyinspired.md) - [Dark Musical-Film-Inspired Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/land-of-oz.md) - [Flora-Themed Candy Ranges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-fantastical-flora-collection.md) - [Festive Candy-Inspired Undergarments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stripe-stare-candy-cane-collection.md) - [Fair Food-Inspired Chocolate Ranges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fair-foods.md) - [Limited-Edition Film-Inspired Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wicked-collection.md) - [Chic Whimsical-Film Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-wizard-of-oz-capsule.md) - [Dreamy Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frankies-bikinis-keepsakes-collection.md) - [Whimsical Feminine Runway Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wild-rose-sparrow.md)
