Chloe now could really stand to have a bit of the Lagerfeld spirit. It needs to feel pragmatic and cheeky again. The brand has gotten to hung up on boho and that look just isn't working anymore. It's become so slovenly and droopy with doodads hanging off everything everywhere. That's been the problem with the brand for years now. I would much rather see some nice crisp, feminine tailoring, easy shift dresses, a few pretty pouf sleeve dresses, maybe some archival prints, a few decorative elements like Karl's crystal faucets or violin, for example, and some unfussy shoes and bags. Done.
Yes , in a sense when I see this its Hanna's revenge and curse. Chloe did her dirty. I completely agree , Hanna's youthful aesthetic was ahead of her time and would appeal to the TikTok and Instagram girls.Paradoxically, I think Hannah MacGibbon would be thriving in the current state of fashion. Her later collections were pragmatic and felt truly luxurious, but at the same time, they were young in their attitude. Sure, she wouldn't fit the Insta-baddie narrative that is, unfortunately, the dominant one now, but she was miles ahead GH.
When it comes to the spirit of Lagerfeld, I think Natacha Ramsay-Levi actually understood the visual aspect of his work and used to reference to his prints and silhouettes. She was a little bit too serious, but so was Clare Waight Keller. Maybe it's the sense of humour that has been lacking at this brand. Meanwhile all Gabriela Hearst could do to reference Chloe's past designers was to make Sheltersuits out of the deadstock fabrics.
BTW Chloe will be 70 years old next year and I think, unfortunately, those clothes will fit that age perfectly.
type oThis is atrocious, Natacha was light years better. I guess the morbidly obese, middle-aged Eco-Friendly lesbian demographic is where all the money is be to made (sarcasm) .

This show from 10 years ago is more relevant than the horse sh!t being served by GH.
