Chloé: Fall/Winter 2012/13

When I first caught a glimpse of Chloé's latest  fall winter collection while browsing through vogue.co.uk I almost fainted. It is incredible! The naturalistic colours (save the bold deep red) and focus on textures rather than over thought designs were exactly what I needed to see in order to have a break from the hectic Alexander McQueen shows and likes thereof. The dream maker who designed the collection; British-born Clare Waight Keller (and she has my name - go figure) has worked for some of the biggest names in the business including Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren, Tom Ford, Gucci and Scotland's Pringle before moving her family to Paris becoming the new Creative Director of Chloé. I have no doubt that she knows exactly what she is doing and these timeless and beautifully tailored pieces confirm my suspicions. N.B. Keep a look out for the cleverly tricking pants that look like skirts - they're elasticated at the hem).
