Chloé Catastrophe

I usually don't like to openly criticize people's work, but exaggerated scalloped edges? And what is that colour? It looks like the hue of that horrible salmon paté they give to you as an appetiser in every restaurant in the Algarve.

I have never hated a Chloé collection before, but I detested Hannah MacGibbon's debut for the line yesterday in Paris. The 38 year old British designer who previously assisted Phoebe Philo has, in my opinion, gotten off to a shaky start.


Thank God for Alber, he restored my faith in Paris SS09, after I tentatively crept back onto Style today, hoping not to be heart-shatteringly dissapointed by another of my favorites.


Voluminous draping, chic cuts, jewel colours, duchess satin and signature Lanvin elegance. I sighed and swooned and dreamt of the day that I can buy a wardrobe of Alber's creations.
