Chloe mixes femininity with attitude at Paris fashion

Chloe designer Clare Waight Keller on Sunday sent out a collection combining soft, pastel-coloured femininity with earthy, untamed attitude on day six of Paris fashion. Dresses in folded layers of chiffon and drop panelled skirts embodied the essence of traditional Chloe woman while wildcat furs with tangled fringing and padded leathers introduced a sense of mystery and magnetism. “For me it was really looking at a different kind of girl, she was a bit more wild, a bit more mysterious,” the British designer, who has been at the helm at Chloe since May 2011, told AFP backstage after the show. “It was really a play on the idea of the Chloe femininity but in a more mysterious sense and I really liked the idea of bringing that sort of spirit and attitude into the fabrics too,” she added.
