Wearable sportswear with a hippy chic theme in a variety of prints, colors and fabrications from embroidery to summer tweeds and fringed hems hit the runway at Rebecca Minkoff’s Spring/Summer 2013 show. Minkoff took inspiration from the iconic 60s and 70s American photographer Slim Aarons when designing her collection.
Elongated pockets, interesting geometric cuts and patterns galore made their mark as the models walked down the runway to the beats of Tennis and DJ Cassidy. The performers took to each side of the stage for a live music performance – the contrast – much like the clothes helped illustrate the opposites attract, feminine-meets-tomboy collection aesthetic which inspired Minkoff.

Although they are not displayed in my video from the finale I embedded below, there was a definite trend of over-sized bags paired with several of her styles. For me it felt a little bulky but then again, I’m always carrying 20 pounds of waste so I should be so lucky this goes into trend…
