Chloe kicks short tent dresses to the curb (yay!)

Chloe is young, Chloe is young, Chloe is young. 

Chloe is no longer as girly-pretty as she was in the old days, but neither is she as harsh as last season, when Paulo Melim Andersson came to the helm for the first time and stomped all over the bows and Peter Pan blouses. 

A lot of people I talked to didn’t like the Chloe show today.  Too transparent.  Too young for the price.  Too fluid and unstructured to flatter.  I liked it.  In some of the long, floaty looks, there was even some similarly to another debut collection of last season: Nina Ricci.  A more streetwise version, of course. 

I don’t long to buy it all in the covetable, this-will-become-a-collectors-item way that I did when Phoebe Philo was designing.  I just want to try and imitate a few of the silhouettes.  For instance, I would like to be tall and thin enough to have a nightgown with a cardigan thrown over look this chic. 

I always like the energy at Chloe,

but the girls walk so fast, it can be hard for my camera to focus.

The fabulous purple, navy, teal combo.  Fresh, right?

Transparent pants, or "shants" as Susan calls them, strike again.

I want to wear something exactly like this outfit below.  It is perfect. 

Sorry to gush, but I didn't expect to like this show at all.  Surprises are always lovely.  And so rare.   

And now mesdames et messieurs, apropos of nothing (on so many levels) the ubiquitous Courtney Love, on her way to sit with Ludivine Sagnier.
