It's beyond me, how a Swedish designer, in a season that's mainly about austerity and minimalism, can come up with such a bourgeois, mediocre, vintage-looking, flowy, summery collection.

Waste of time, energy and the team's talent. The tailoring in the pre-collection seemed so straightforward and tho bourgeois, kind of modern and sleek.

Very dissapointed in Paolo. And that says a lot coming from me. (Since I'm a fan)

I think this train has gone way off the tracks...I like the navy blue idea, but nothing else about Chloe is attractive to me anymore...not even the shoes.

thank goodness this is terrible, as it won't make me feel bad for not being able to afford it.

agree with the fading marni feel..
Mr Andersson seems to be trying to appeal to the old Chloé customer..? she doesn't want something totally new. it feels like the old Chloé
But he's certainly versatile.. I still think it's so well done. The textures alongside the smooth fabrics, embroidery jewels, it's still quite interesting as a design, little bows hanging from the shoulders~ Can appeal to both customers imo ...

I think i hate this. Some of the dark pieces are ok, that’s about it. Such a let down from the past two collections. Seems like a desperate attempt to hold on to the old chloé customer.

I kind of hate to see that he's given up his Chloe look so much in favor of what the Chloe customer used to be. I didn't love his first two collections, but it was nice to see Chloe move on from the vintage, ruffley, boho thing. It was nice to see that he had his own POV in regards to the house.

This is kind of what girls and young women are already wearing, and have been wearing for years. That's not what I expect of a Parisian house.

... Leaves me wondering what Yvan could've done with Chloé.

Though must admit that the last 2 looks are rather nice.

it's ok. i don't hate it but i don't like it either.

the black looks are the standouts to me. it would've been such a strong statement if the presentation had just been the black looks without the others.

the shoes are so fug
