According to Pantone this is the color palette for Fall 2013. At first sight there are some similarities with Fall 2012's palette , but this year the colors lean towards earthy tones.
I remember attending a conference about fashion trends forecast, and how expensive was to hire one of those 'forecasting' companies. In the end it's up to the designer to use a trend forecast as a guideline or base for designing a collection. I honestly think that creativity should have no restraints, and using a forecast as a guide is a double edged sword. Think of the weather forecast, how accurate it is?
Color is different, flexible and playful. As long as the right color combinations are chosen. Even though most of the colors in this palette are more subdued and rich than last years, there are a few colors that pop like Vivacious, Mykonos Blue and Emerald.
