Creative director Clare Waight Keller sent models out in
navy, burgundy and beige sporty tops and trousers, striped along
the sides and slit below the ankle, as she presented the
maison's spring/summer 2016 collection at Paris Fashion Week.
In front of an audience including actresses Jada Pinkett Smith
and Fan Bingbing, models also wore airy tops, some baring
shoulders, and Keller's various takes on denim: usually shorts
and skirts tied with drawstring and frayed at the edges.
Short dresses came in lace. Long floaty dresses and tops, a
Chloe staple, were also on show in white, pastel and rainbow
colors, with tassels swinging at the front and on the sides.
Footwear consisted of colorful sandals with multiple straps.
Fashionistas said Chloe, known of late for its 1970s-inspired
designs, was nodding to the 1990s for next spring.
"We saw the great classics, the real trademark looks of the
label, the bohemian and diaphanous side," said French model and
actress Aymeline Valade.
"At the same time, there was something new that she has
incorporated in this collection, the more sporty style, with
chic tracksuits and the very casual chic."
