Next week heralds the winter solstice and fashion, too, inexorably marches on, with the debut of the pre-fall 2013 designer collections. (Kinda crazy as we're just acclimating to this fall's clothing!). The trends, in short: more sexy leather, more black and white, more moto jackets (and zipper detailing galore), sweatshirts/sporty silhouettes, and a new hue on the horizon, emerald, which Pantone recently announced the official color of 2013. Here are some of my favorite looks (especially loved Phillip Lim, pictured above and below, for its edgy but still entirely wearable vibe), along with what we can look forward to wearing a year from now.
