I don’t know, I love her already. She seems to have an enthusiasm and an energy that is refreshing to see…And it’s not caricatural like having a Brasilian band playing at your show. It doesn’t look or feel performative.
I think the warm response she got for her debut is because she totally understand Chloé. It’s refreshing to see a collection where everything seems to reflect the idea of the brand. The bags are not a « Chloe version of a Chanel or Hermes bag ». The styling is very Chloé, the color palette is very Chloé…
It’s something very familiar but somehow that we have missed. She is a CD so she has an ego but it’s not overpowering the brand. Hearst didn’t work at the service of the brand…
And this aesthetic is a style, not a trend. Boho chic can evolve in many ways but a woman dressed in those clothes would never look like a fashion victim.
A lot of things that are deemed as modern may not have the long lasting power of this type of fashion.
And it’s a difficult thing to do. We see Isabel Marant with the Parisian version of this (Chloe is the international version of that style) struggle to make it modern.
