Jane Mayle to head up Chloe?

[Lena]

Hasn't Yvan Mispelaere already placed as the long term head?

correct
Yvan stays as head designer for Chloe and i'm only too happy for this

maybe we should start a new thread on miss Mayle

I cried out "thank the lord" when I read this. Thanks for the heads up.

If Yvan is permanent, why doesn't the Telegraph know it ... and why isn't Chloe PR doing anything to publicize it? Gucci's "new" designer has been everywhere in the fashion mags ...

 

[jetset7]

do you pronounce her name in 2 syllables, may-lee, or like mail?

One syllable- like mail

 

[Lena]

^ Chloe already confirmed Yvan's position

no idea why the telegraph printed the Mayle story..

Luella's design would not translate well on Chloe. They may be quirky but just not chic enough. It's a bit trying to hard whereas Chloe is the total opposite

I don't know if J. Mayle would be the right fit for Chloe as creative director but I do know she has a huge NY/LA/SF following. Aside from Satine in LA, I believe METIER in SF carries (or plans on carrying) pretty much her entire line. I don't know if they have a website though, but they do ship. Mayle had its trunk show in SF two weekends ago, and the fall stuff that was for pre-order, esp. the sweaters were really nice, smart, functional, cute, etc. (FYI, J. Mayle in person is a fine looking chick, wish I brought my camera)
I like the fact that she maintains under the radar status. If you've ever been to her nolita outpost, you'll know that her lines have been to date very limited (as the store is approx. 150 sq. ft.)... Her cow print skirt is a classic!

This just put a smile on my face.



I love chloe at the moment, and the new direction feels so fresh..

 

[Lena]

oops, sorry guys, seems that Chloe's confirmation on Yvan has not been made 'public' yet, but i'm postive that they are just discussing 'details'

pucci mama, i totally agreee, Chloe hasnt been so interesting in ages, love the new direction

 

[babyladybones]

No!!!! I love what Phoebe does.

 

[Pastry]

^what do you mean, blb?

 

[JuiceMajor]

I find the FW2006 collection a little dull although there are some luvly pieces

I fear the news has not reached Fargo ...

 

[CrEateuR]

It will be great if Yvan 's appointment as the chief designer is true. How did u guys know abt it?

 

[Lena]

^ i read about this somewhere (maybe wwd ?)
and then friends who work in the Parisian PR 'circuit' basically confirmed the rumour but sadly its not been made 'official' yet ..grrrr

i want Yvan to take this chair , he totally deserves this

ditto

 

[fashionguruhk]

Sorry I don't agree. Luellea's bag sold at one point...but now it's DEAD
no one would touch it with a ten foot pole..and her clothes...no one wears it..have you seen anyone wearing her clothes at all?

 

[fashionguruhk]

He still is the head of the Design Team and they will not annouce this Fall either.

 

[lostinemotion]

I think she has what a lot of designers are missing. Being Thorough. Following through on all the special details and fit.
I think she is the perfect person for this position.
