Chloe Resort 2009
The highly anticipated collection from Hannah MacGibbon for Chloe falls short of my expectations. A former protegee of Phoebe Philo, I was hoping she’d recapture the brand’s romantic bohoemian chic past. Instead, we are offered poufy blouses and polka dotty skirts. Hopefully she finds her groove come September for the Spring 2009 shows. The chain … Continue reading “Chloe Resort 2009”

All in all, this is not a bad bag but unfortunately you have to take the bag as a whole and the chunky braided handles ruin it … Continue reading “Chloe Heloise”

We’ve Lost Chloe
I hate to say it but Chloe is a designer we may need to cross off our list completely. Still riding on Phoebe Philo’s designs, Chloe has been pushing the Paddington and Edith (in every possible variation and configuration imaginable) to keep the name afloat (their Spring 2007 collection certainly isn’t going to do it). … Continue reading “We’ve Lost Chloe”
