Natacha Ramsay-Levi Leaving Chloé, *Update* Gabriela Hearst Announced as Creative Director

[TREVOFASHIONISTO]

soooooooo excited it is her to take her job. Pringle of Scotland has been my favorite London brand because of her. Although didnt she leave POS because of personal issues? Was she lying or did she really leave because of that

 

[mimirose]

MacGibbon has been extremely successful at Chloé from a commercial stand point and put out one really incredible collection for the label (F/W 2010.) Last season was just a huge mess but I really do wish her all the best in the future.
Can't wait to see Clare Waight Keller's first collection! She had a great influence on Pringle and I hope that she does well at Chloé.

 

[LolaSvelt]

Oh, thank god! And to be replaced by Clare Waight Keller, too! I wonder if Tilda Swinton will start wearing Chloe.

 

[Marc10]

Thank God. I liked her first collections, but then it was a down fall. And Clare Waight Keller? Very interesting, can't wait to see her direction to the house.

Her firts collection will be Resort or Spring?

 

[isa.b.elle.]

great news!!!but i'm afraid it's too late for the resort collection..

 

[get fashion]

Chloé and Celine was very the same, but with this change we'll see whats next on Chloé.

 

[TaylorBinque]

I think Clare is a talented designer. She made Pringle so cool! So hopefully she positions Chloe client and made it less Celine which surely it can't compete with that.

 

[Whats Ur Name]

Change is good, im not sad to see Hannah go her last collection was horrible..

 

[StoneSkipper]

Yes, yes, and more yes. I love Clare Waight Keller and I'm excited to see what she'll do with the brand.

 

[missnyc]

I don't know about Clare's work but I find these news very sad. I loooved Hannah's work at Chloé. The S/S 2011 collection was really lovely

 

[Crying Diamonds]

Glad that Hannah is out ecstatic that she has been replaced by such a talented woman!
Claire made me stop and notice Pringle with her innovative and original designs using their signature knits and British air.
I absolutely cannot wait to see what she creates for Chloe.

 

[advo]

I look forward to see what she can do with Chloe.

 

[mikeijames]

while i enjoyed hannah macgibbon's last python-and-seventies presentation, clare waight keller has put on some untouchably chic presentations for pringle in recent seasons. if she can do that for a house known for argyles and knits, i cannot wait to see what she can do wtih a house that has an archive like chloe's.

 

[ultramarine]

OMG! I saw this on Vogue It fb page and I literally had a little scream of excitement.

When Clare left Pringle I was bummed but now that she's gonna keep on designing, Im super excited. I wanna see!!!

 

[balmain1914]

CHLOE won't stop playing designer drama until another sales peak happened.
Richemont is such a boring baby sitter company ever

 

[Pricciao]

I don't think this is such a drama, we already gave Ms. MacGibbon enough seasons to prove her ability in designing, but everytime she only left us underwhelmed and uninspiring clothes. so before the clients fully embrace Celine, it's clever to give the brand a new look and some fresh air.

 

[mackos]

Ding dong!

Finally Chloé made up their minds, I was kinda losing my hopes already. Excited for the new designer too, will she be showing her first collection for S/S 12, then?

 

[ponytrot]

SO excited!!!!!! I loved Pringle under Clare's direction!!!

 

[shutterbug]

I must be one of the few who really liked MacGibbon at Chloe. I'll be sad to see her go. That said, I also liked Clare's work at PoS so at least the replacement is a good one.

 

[JuiceMajor]

She won't be miss...and I fear they are replacing Hanna with another 'Hannah'.
