Chloé F/W 2025.26 Paris

I look forward to Chloe so much now. This didn't disappoint. The cast was great, great accessories, and the clothes were beautiful and fun!
 
Chemena was wearing a really great pair of trousers when she took her bow. I love her entire look.

The collection was alright. Some things worked, and some things didn't, especially the linebacker shoulder pads in the last couple of looks. (Strangely, I was reminded of Nicolas Ghesquière's early Balenciaga.)

I hope she starts evolving her vision for Chloé soon, because the boho 70s thing is going to get stale very quickly.
 
It is a collection done by women for women, with no man's gaze or intervention at all.
Nice to still see posts like this in this area, just simple, not hateful/weirdly jealous stuff that acknowledges the nature of womenswear and its customers in 2025 (unlike the recent ‘I know some women.. such as the s*x workers my 70 year old loner friends hang out with and the ones I see on instagram.. and trust me, AlL wOmEn dReSs fOr mEn’).

I love this collection. I’m so happy she’s revisiting late 90s Chloé.. especially the dresses Stella did back then, they were so unapologetically feminine and pretty. In general, this is Chloé at its very best.. an instant feel-good brand that never fails at delivering at least one item that you want.

Seeing Eniko was the cherry on top, she always embodied a healthier, more sensual type of beauty.
 
Rich American college girls will eat this up for sure , the Racoon tails was a big trend in the late 70s .

Agree with Fenty that designers like to send out bald Sub Saharan models for years and it is getting cliched and irl the vast majority of black women regardless of origin don't go out like that lol , they need to give them braids/extensions or wigs , also I feel they should also use Black American models as well , I don't know any these days.

Luxury womenswear customers in 2025 are mainly dressing what other men tell them to dress… Bottega, Saint Laurent, Alaïa, Loewe…
 
I hate the shoulders in this. Loathe them even… but it’s not for me, though I can’t see it working well for most outside of the runway sample size context.

Besides that it’s nice. It makes sense and Chemenas world for the Chloe girl is becoming very unified. Wonder how the next season will go, because I think this is all very fixed so hopefully she can develop herself beyond this when it starts to get tiring.
 
I think the most genius thing about Chemena's Chloe is that she's not sending down the same soulless cast and not playing the same dreary, monotonous electronic music that 99% of brands are using nowadays, regardless of aesthetic. She understands that you must tailor things like cast or soundtrack to complement the clothes, not blindly follow the herd.

that being said, I found the clothes look a bit too down market, stuff I would see in a Boho boutique in 2014
 
Girls seem to like it and that's really the most important thing for Chloé; I however still prefer Natacha Ramsay-Levi's efforts to go beyond the image of wavy-haired rich young girls in frilly dresses and give it more variety and meaning. A bit more tailoring and jeans with some nice knits and a bit less lace & hardware (the accessories look heavier than the models this time) would be good.. after all, it's what Chemena herself is wearing each time she takes a bow and it looks fresher and more contemporary than the nth head-to-toe boho look.
 
I love the collection though it's a bit too literal in it's styling and approach. The sunglasses, the trinkets and specifically the way the handbags are carried in the crook of the arm reduce it to satire and costume circa 2005-2006. Send a few looks to Lindsay Lohan while we're at it.

The coats and jackets are gorgeous and the women look cool - I love this woman, I am friends with this woman. I would like to see more in thee direction of the following looks next time. Surely the Chloe woman likes to also get dressed in more than boho ruffles and explore her power b*tch side a bit.

I find the collection adequate. It embodies a nostalgic, vintage romance typical of Chloé, yet appears a bit overburdened with stylistic references. It mixes traditional bohemian softness with urban, rock-inspired elements and hints of 19th-century boudoir. With more focused editing, the balance between materials and references could be clearer, resulting in a more cohesive and refined look.
