Two pieces of news surfaced at Chloé this week: first, the brand put out its Pre-Fall 2017 lookbook, which includes several new bags designs. Chloé’s pre-season lookbooks tend to be pretty limited, especially when it comes to bags, so we’re always excited to get a bit of a preview. Second, and more importantly, the brand announced creative director Clare Waight Keller would be leaving Chloé after the brand’s Fall 2017 Paris runway show in March.
Waight Keller was at Chloé for six years and has presided over a wonderful time for the brand, and especially for its handbags–designs like the super-popular Drew, Faye and Hudson shoulder bags were conceived during her tenure there, and the brand as a whole found its stride in a romantic-but-wearable French bohemianism. Her shoes will be difficult to fill, and no successor has yet been named.
Hmm, not loving these bags. They look very heavy to me.
They look heavy and in my opinion, it’s kinda the same style as always…
I love Chloe. The bags always look very bohemian in the ads, but that’s just the style of the clothing and photography. In real life, I think the bags are typically just everyday, wearable and casual, not overly bohemian!
These are classic Chloe. Wonder what direction the look will go from here?
I have always loved this brand
That backpack in slide 9 keeps calling my name!
I must have the bag in slide 5!
Me too!!
I want the whole outfit — those great pants, that roomy sweater, and the bag, perfect for prowling around the streets of Paris on an autumn Sunday afternoon…
I think I do too : )
Also love the bag in slide 5.
Slide 5 is such a sumptuous leather.
Talking about throwing all of the design elements at a bag. Not a fan. They’re a bit of a jumbled up mess.
Clothes are very nice.
Bags are AWFUL. What’s the monstrosity in #1.
very classy and elegant hand bags… i think every girl would love to carry these hand bags. http://www.shopjessicabuurman.com/clothing_c3/vests-cloaks_c348
