Westwood has a knack for taking an otherwise boring print and amplifying it. Her fall ready-to-wear women's collection is bold, belted and full of wonderful floral prints. A highlight of the sensational series is the introduction of a new plaid print. Westwood always interweaves a checkered print into her collection and this year she plays around with layered patterns. There is the solid checkered prints and fabulous floral on plaid pieces. Must-haves from the series include a deep blue floral crochet dress cinched at the waist by a chunky taupe leather belt and an explosive red and white floral print high collar cocktail dress. The Vivienne Westwood Fall 2013 ready-to-wear collection is multifaceted and a marvelous debut. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 67% | Activity: 47% | 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 Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Bold Floral Prints:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Creating unique and eye-catching patterns for clothing and accessories. - **Layered Patterns:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Developing techniques to combine different prints and textures in fashion design. - **Cinched Waist Belts:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Creating innovative ways to accentuate the waist in clothing design. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporating bold floral prints and layered patterns into clothing lines. - **Textile Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Developing new printing and weaving techniques for creating intricate and dynamic patterns. - **Accessories Retail:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Designing unique and stylish belts to cinch and accentuate the waist in outfits. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [High-End Bridal Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vivienne-westwood-bridal-couture.md) - [Collaborative Fashion-Centric Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vivienne-westwood-and-palace.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) - [Pattern-Heavy Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/needles-new-collection.md) - [Perfumery Tradition-Inspired Fragrances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boudoir.md) - [Politically-Inspired Runway Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selkies-the-libertine-collection.md) - [LNY-Inspired Jewelry Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vivienne-westwoods-lunar-new-year.md) - [Whimsical Feminine Runway Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wild-rose-sparrow.md)
