Chloe F/W 07.08 Paris

[Li Ya Fan]

Whoa, fugly shoes.

I'm not hating this, but it's not really making sense to me, some pieces (like the dress on Gemma) feels Chloe, some is very Marni and some is just.. off.

Well, it's good that he's not copying Philo, but so far this is quite ugly. I don't see anything I like in this.

On second thought, some of the print are all wrong for Chloé. Not that I don't like them, they just don't fit Chloé.

i am a chloe customer and i can say i am not a fan so far. i like marni too and i can see the marni influence in this. if i wanted the marni look, i would buy marni. too bad.

the shoes and bags are weird to me so far. i hope the rest of the collection is better, but i am not going to hold my breath.

I have to go now. Someone can take over the Getty stake-out.

 

[Li Ya Fan]

Bye peace, thanks for all the pics.

I...liked last season better. While this isn't hideous, it doesn't feel like Chloe. Chloe's supposed to be young, girly and feminine.....this really is more of a Marni feel....

I don't know...

I'm not loving it, but it's not awful either. I can really see the Marni influence in there...

Those shoes are absolutely hideous, though and the bags aren't thrilling.

chloe!! The show I've been waiting for. I really wish they'd keep doing the look they have been for the last 3 seasons but I knew it wasnt going to happen. I'm not sure if I like this yet, it could go either way at this point. The non combat ankle boots dont look so bad.

Chloe never disappoints.

CHLOÉ'S GETTING NAUGHTY

" CHLOÉ has a great age because it should always be young, with the attitude of a teenager, the nonchalance of a teenager," Chloé's new chief designer Paulo Melim Andersson told WWD in his first interview since leaving Marni and joining Chloé, last autumn. "It's not all about grooming and good taste. It's all about effortless confidence," he continued. Swedish-born Andersson wouldn't give away the details of his eagerly anticipated début show taking place in Paris this Saturday, but he did give some information away about the direction of the clothes. "It's a brand for women. It's not me being a male designer imposing. It has to be real: no drama, no theatre. It has to work on the street (and will be) a bit edgy." His collection, he continued, is based on the idea of "a girl who steals from her mother. It's a girl who has fun; lots of secret fun, like (my sister) who once customised one of my mom's furs. That wasn't appreciated!" Arriving after a turbulent time at the French house when his predecessor Phoebe Philo had quit the label in January 2006, Chloé chairman and chief executive Ralph Toledano welcomed the presence and lauded the skills of Andersson. "He's a really refined person," he said. "Intelligent and cultured - this guy knows everything. You can really see the sketch, the attitude. It's sharper, clearer." (March 2 2007, AM)
