Voiceover for Chloé S/S ’15 Show.
-I am going to be talking a little bit about my favourite pieces from the Spring/Summer 2015 collection from Chloé, shown at Paris fashion week.
First off, this collection was dedicated to Gaby Aghion, founder of Chloé in 1952, who passed away this past September.
And the collection was designed by Creative Director, Clare Waight Keller.
I feel like this collection went down a very French, folksy, 70’s theme. A lot of crochet and billowing fabrics were shown, making it, in my opinion, a very fun and feminine collection.
SHORT WHITE DRESS IS SHOWN –
I love this first piece. It’s really pretty, girly and fun. A really great way to start things off, it screams spring.
I really like the way that a similar looking; little floaty white dress is shown again at the end of the show, to really round off the collection, which, obviously, you will see later on.
FALLOW COLOURED DRESS IS SHOWN –
The colour of this next little dress is gorgeous; I would probably describe it as a Fallow Brown. – This whole collection seems to be built on jewel tones which historically/classically are thought of for Autumnal attire/garments.
And you will notice, all the bags featured are made using a warm chestnut leather which are really fluent throughout.
And everything accessories-wise, be it bangles, rings, earrings, buttons or the hardware on the bags; are all a light gold colour which, again, adds to the warm feel of the collection.
The colour translates so well with the fabrics that are used for each piece. All have been created with very light fabrics and some sheer which, really reflects the season.
If any of the pieces, especially the little dresses, are without sleeves, all feature very delicate spaghetti straps. This allows each piece to hang with more weight so the fall is stunning.
All or most of the models are laced into knee-high or ankle-strapped sandals in an antique pink blush colour with a slight wedge.
My favourite pieces in this collection are the longer boho style dresses. They look so elegant and artisan but at the same time look very day wear. I love the fact that all feature excess material, but seem to have been cut on the bias so this leads to them hanging beautifully on the figure.
Here is the last dress shown, which I mentioned earlier, rounding off the collection perfectly.

All in all, I really love this ready-to-wear collection, I think it has been done in a really elegant and dainty way but really fun and playful at the same time.
