Every season, we ask designers to submit one image and one phrase to sum up the inspiration behind their upcoming collections. For fall 2013, some trends are already emerging: Expect to see lots of mossy greens, soft grays, and graphic black and white on the runways. Jason Wu references a stark black-and-white painting by Josef Albers, Tory Burch admires scarab beetles, and Kate Spade heads to “crazy town” (aren’t we all?). Click ahead for all 133 designer inspirations — if Pinterest is your thing, then get after it — and get excited to compare them to the collections later this week.
