Brown Thomas showcase some major new labels and trends for Spring Summer 13

 Brown Thomas have unveiled the latest looks for Spring Summer '13. It's great to see some new trends hitting the streets as I'm getting really sick of all the sales now!!!!

 The collections drew inspiration from the East with strong Japanese influences, the 60s appeared once more as designers fell in love with the simplistic shapes and large patterns, the 70s cropped up in styling with designers such as Hedi Slimane showing sharp suits and fedoras. There was a strong showing of florals from designers such as Dior  and also, 90s grunge makes a massive comeback for next season. Although its a fair bit more luxe then it was the first time round!

There was a strong 60s mod feel to the accessories too. Keep things elegant and stylish with Prada and D&G. However the real money (in every sense) is on Victoria Beckham's bags being the ones to hold and hold all this season.
