The Joe Fresh Spring 2013 collection made its first appearance at the 2012 Toronto Fashion Week. The Canadian brand has developed a chic reputation for itself based on the tenets of quality, creativity and affordability, distinguishing the pieces as practical and best suited to the needs of diverse shoppers.
This Spring 2013 line shares in the coming season's preference for mod 1960s styles. Baggy patterned pants paired with Mary Jane's, flowing cuts and high necklines are reminiscent of the decade, bringing past designs to the runway fore all over again.
Though Joe Fresh is known for its bright blue and orange color schemes, its focus has shifted here towards whites, beiges, navies and blacks, giving off a subtle if not demure feel.
