chloe

One of my favorite French brands would have to be Chloe. It was the first fashion house at the time to do something other in haute couture. It was called Pret-a-Porter or otherwise known as Ready-To-Wear.

Today, designers everywhere have followed this trend by developing their own R-to-W collections along with their high-end ones. Along with their original brand, Chloe also has a more afforable line (think Marc by Marc Jacobs) called See by Chloe. It is a younger take on higher-end line and often times adds a little more color.

Hannah MacGibbon was appointed creative director in 2008 and has done the company wonders. The spring collection is full of airy neutrals and soft silhouettes with handbags that have great bow and stud detailing.
