Man sagt der Herbst/ Winter 2005/ 06 steht im Zeichen der Exzentrik...
In jedem Fall wird er sehr vielschichtig werden.
From clothing manufacturer - does this mean complex or is it referring to the clothing being multi-layer???

Deutsch term (edited):
wird er sehr vielschichtig werden
Selected
will be a multi-layered affair / a season with many layers / ...
It could be a pun and mean both the complexity and the clothes themselves. I'd have to see the rest of the text to know.

multi-facetted or will have lots to offer
How about something nice and vague like the German, such as "multi-facetted"? Or more indirect such as "will have lots to offer".
Without more context there is no way to know whether it is referring to layers or complexity.

Sorry, they are of course not talking about an **event** here... Didn\'t read your question properly... Instead, you could say: The **designs** will be colorful.

As Norbert says, without more context we can\'t really know what exactly they mean with \"vielschichtig\" - do they refer to the number of layers or to the variety - or to both???
Here is how Duden defines \"vielschichtig\":
1. aus vielen Schichten (1) bestehend.
2. aus vielem Verschiedenem zusammengesetzt; vielfältig; kompliziert, heterogen: -e Probleme, Äußerungen.

Please ignore my first suggestion. It\'s likely to mean:
There will be a large number of designs.
The number of designs will be staggering.

a kaleidoscope of colours, textures and styles
if fashion's going to continue on its current path then this should cover all eventualities!! this winter it's all about mixing colour and different types of fabric. Of course, I am inferring here, as there is no more context.
