It's absolutely all over the place. She referenced her Chloé tenure and those pieces were actually nice, but at the same time they got completely lost in the collection full of overly trendy pieces and awkward overalls. Not to mention the tailoring, which was unusually weak. I don't know, but to me this collection may be an indicator that the partnership with LVMH may be harmful to her brand in the long term.

The Chloe like looks are great but it descends into a mess with the overalls perhydrol mentioned and the neon pieces The first 3 looks are the best and she should have built on those but the show disintegrates mid way. Still 1000X better than current Chloe tho.

Those Chloé spring 2000 gold chain tops look like a cheap knockoff of the original. If you're going to update your iconic pieces 22 years later at least make them look good.

The rest of the collection is all over the place. The tailoring is so sloppy, especially those neon suits. She can do good tailoring so what happened?

And the sportswear/utility-inspired pieces make no sense in this collection.

I'm still like her but she needs to get herself together soon.

Lol she's been running away from her Chloe aesthetic for 20 years only to reference it so literally now that it's back in demand.

I have loooooved that Chloe collection for years. It's so.. forbidden haha, and a foggy memory from the current, pious Chloe. Yes from me! she can reference her own work whenever she wants, it's her work!. Very PG13 now but I do love that collection so I'll happily eat the breadcrumb!

 

[Wintergreen]

Nice. Can't wait for Phoebe Philo's return.

 

[YohjiAddict]

Not sure about the crazy huge jackets at the beginning but I do like most of the collection, it may have just been runway but it felt a lot more joyous and sensual than her recent work.

Why are all these people showing in Paris?
I don't think of Stella, VB, YE as Parisian in any way.

Hasn’t Stella been showing in Paris for at least the last 20 years?

Guess that shows how much I've paid attention, lol.
I've always thought of them as British, first; with the exception of Ye.
But I still don't get other designers showing in Paris, unless they're paired with a French Design House.

 

[gossiping]

not very good collection, it almost feels a bit identity less. bags are nice though.

 

[Avonlea]

It's as bland as it can get. Incredibly dull.

I wonder how can Stella (and VB) managed to put their brand afloat. Everytime I go to South Coast Plaza, Her store is always empty minus the sales woman.
lucky her, Kerring and LVMH were always there to finance her vanity project.
