Chloé’s Structured Pre-Fall – For pre-fall 2012, Chloé’s new creative director Clare Waight Keller is inspired by the images of 1960s and 1970s street style photographer Garry Winogrand. Playing with proportion, voluminous egg-shaped outerwear is paired with form-fitting trousers, pleated skirts and button-up shirts. Androgynous silhouettes are given a playful, feminine touch with soft ruffles, folds and pastel accents. / Models – Jacquelyn Jablonski, Kate King
it’s beautiful but it looks a little celine-ish.
I think they are both way too youthful looking for this collection. But hey, that’s just me.

Jacquelyn is so gorgeous it’s unreal
There’s an CWK look emerging which I’m finding a little northern and ascetic. There’s a real sadness about those flat brown mocassins and those ankle boots. I think Chloe still lacks the flirty, chic appeal it had for so many years. There has to be a hint of cool teenager there. Even a whimsical bit of applique or print would make a difference…a focal point which brings a smile. These clothes are a little on the ‘your mum would approve’ side. I do think she’s a competent designer though and I wish her well. Shake it up Claire, make a bold statement and people will sit up.
