Imbued with a sense of folkloric opulence, the See by Chloé collection for winter 2017 flirts with a comfortable and carefree nostalgia. Irreverent workwear and collegiate codes are juxtaposed with demure florals and tactile fringing. A light, earthy palette regales in the bitter shades of rust, saffron and ginger, dark wintery pinks, dove grey, tobacco, and Prussian blue.
Homely and hand-worked textiles like chenille, soft lace knit, plissé georgette, and fil coupé jacquard meet the pragmatic touch of waxed denim, dull washed velvet, felt wool and jersey fleece. Long, flared, and tulip shapes create a tiered silhouette with decorative ruched and scalloped bell sleeve details, tooled leather belts worn at the waist, and a ruffled or pussy bow neckline. Outerwear includes boyish caban shapes paneled with shearling, a giant teddy coat, field capes, and knitted ponchos lined with tassels.
The See by Chloé Winter 2017 accessories collection sees the return of the ‘Hana‘ bag in new finishes, the ‘Filipa‘ suede satchel, and a mini version of the ‘Andy‘ backpack.
