The French fashion house is celebrating their 60th anniversary, the celebrations will kick off in September with an exhibition in Paris' Palais de Tokyo art space, curated by Judith Clark the exhibition aims to be a 'collage of ideas' in order to truly express the brand's spirit. A party will also be held in conjunction with the fashion house's catwalk show on October 1st. 

Along with the exhibition will come the unveiling a new flagship store designed by architect Joseph Dirand which will open in Paris' Rue Saint-Honore in November. The celebrations will continue into the new year with a coffee table book due in the Autumn.

 

Chloé also have plans of launching a capsule collection of re-edition styles, 16 classic pieces from the brand's archive will be re-worked and sold in Chloé flagship stores. Pieces included will feature the works of Karl Lagerfeld, Stella McCartney, Phoebe Phillo, and Hannah MacGibbon. 

Chloé has been a great launch pad for designers having launched both Stella McCartney and Phoebe Phillo, so it's a great thing that they are re-visiting the designers that have helped the brand develop into what we see today.

Stella McCartney Fall 2012

Stella McCartney’s latest collection is just perfect, I’ll be the first one to admit that once upon a time I overlooked her as a designer-forgive me Stella, I was wrong.

There were bright snippets of colour amongst a wash of greys and browns, just enough for autumn weather, cheery but not out of place for the colder months. Pieces were well tailored and structured in heavy knits and tweeds pushing the collection into a very smart, slightly androgynous state with wide leg trousers and shirts tucked in showing the models waists.

Print was used lightly, most affectively covered up and peaking through oversized coats and blazers, it was an accent rather than a statement. Whilst towards the end of the collection tighter fitted tops gave the impression of inspiration from surfer wetsuits, with the use of high necks and colour combinations.

Models wore blue mascara whilst the rest of the makeup was kept plain with hair swept back into a clean simple bun. The makeup mirrored the collection perfectly, basic with a punch of colour to keep the look fresh.
