Disappointment.

 

[Teja]

I have been waiting for this show whole week. And now i don't know what to think of it. Some pieces are beautiful, but most of them are not so good.

 

[ilaughead]

Yes, it's a little Milan. Yes, it's a new look for Chloé. But, it's on-trend, and a lot of it is ridiculously pretty. I'm rooting for Paulo.

 

[disco54]

the first 2 looks are OK , but the rest seems washedout and those tacky prints are not helping

 

[pinnie]

thank you for all pics of the whole collection
i am not impressed but some pieces are beautiful and cute
in my opinion,the collection 's more womanly than last season
but too bad it's not my favorite show he disappoints me again

 

[Alejandro]

i hate this. gross.

Last season's Chloe was so badly bashed on tfs, yet net-a-porter and Barney's are now featuring it in a big way, and it's influenced a number of SS08 collections, from COS to Martine Sitbon. No one complained that it wasn't gorgeous, just that it wasn't "Chloe"! Well, when Nicholas G started at Balenciaga with the surreal frills and feathers, it wasn't Balenciaga either. Or Galliano's early days at Dior. Or Mccartney at Chloe. I'd rather judge the designer by his/her talent than by some idea of a particular "style" the house is supposed to produce into infinity.

I would have been curious to see if he is capable of leading into a new and prescient direction this season, something new and unexpected, even the coming look for FW08, but it seems he's caved in to a half-baked chiffony version of Chloe and those paint strokes. Some nice pieces here and there, but just not the same powerful coherence and energy he produced last season. I hope he gets a stab at the next collection with a bit more confidence and support!

I like it!!!

 

[pocodolce]

Yes, i agree on everyone that said that it looked too much like marni. for a second there, i thought i was on the marni thread! It's Cute & Girly but it's definately not chloe

Actually, I think some people did (me, for one. Although, I posted on the thread recently; not just after the show).

I quite liked the line drawings, but that was about it.

Well, when Nicholas G started at Balenciaga with the surreal frills and feathers, it wasn't Balenciaga either. Or Galliano's early days at Dior. Or Mccartney at Chloe.

I disagree with your last example - McCartney's designs always looked sufficiently 'Chloe', to me.

No one's suggesting that there should be no change, or room for the designer's personal vision; but if a designer only wants to project their personal vision, or that vision doesn't integrate well with the aesthetic of the house they design for, they have problems.

BTW, I don't so much blame Paulo for this, I blame the guy who employed him (whose name escapes me).

WooW amazing shoes!

 

[Faith Akiyama]

I'm not sure what I think about the collection as a whole, but the subtle grunge is quite beautiful.

 

[Tinuviel]

There are a few pieces I like, but I still miss Philo in a big way.

 

[liberty33r1b]

i do love the shoes, i really do, but the collection itself is BAD

 

[chessmess]

With respect, considering what he produced last season and for Resort, I would say that this is pretty much meeting expectations, not breaking them.

but its still quite different from what chloe usually produces
im talking about his vision as a whole
i think its refreshing

 

[iJustWalk.]

hmm... i saw the first page and was like
a few pieces are cute... a couple of the darker ones. i'm not feeling the Chloe vibe at all though
for me they peaked, in terms of clothes and accessories, in Fall 2006
