FLASHFORWARD: Spring Trend Prediction

Things are just beginning to get colder and colder, and we are all piling the layers on, but the fashion world never stops to savor the moment. Looking ahead to spring/summer 2013, I am seeing a significant, and unexpected trend: light blue. Resort collections for Maison Martin Margiela, Raf Simons, Acne, and even Rick Owens, are all incorporating this color fairly heavily. Here are a few choice pieces which you can purchase now to prepare early.
