Chloé is an eternal state of mind guided by instinct and optimism. What matters to me is the intuition that guides this very personal, intimate and sensual way of dressing. It’s about feeling the moment.
With this second collection for Chloé, I wanted to capture that longing for summer and the way summer makes you feel – taking the essence of Chloé’s roots as a starting point, building new foundations and capturing that fantasy moment of the summer months when you reconnect with yourself. The leaving and coming back. When you pause, escape, explore, discover and recharge.
The mood is light, sensual and joyful. A feeling of lost and found.
Fabrics are sun faded, rinsed and worn in, mixing the precious and the simple. Lace guipures with ribbed cotton jersey, the bareness of billowy silk charmeuses and Habotai silks.
Colors are also faded by the sun to apricot, shell white, blush, sand, pale yellow, faded lime and mint, dusk blue and lavender. Finally blooming into a print of roses and peonies reworked from an original hand painted 1977 artwork from the archives.
A feeling of lingerie drifts through the collection mixed with soft summer sartorial tailoring and the play of proportion. The new jacket silhouette is based on the flou blouse with gathers, pleated sleeves and a precise structured shoulder in cotton canvas and suede. There is a delicate simplicity to the perfect cotton ribbed henley dress with lace incrustations and a sense of the playful in the iconic 70s Chloé bloomers.
Accessories layer the eclectic and the treasured – adorned with a collected mix of broken shells, sea washed stones, summer charms and chains. Crocheted and rafia bracelet bags. The summer Maxime platform, jelly shoes and the laced ballerina.
There is a spontaneous joy to this collection that for me is the essence of summer, a liberating expression of total freedom.
