CHLOÉ CHRISTMAS CAPSULE COLLECTION



 

CHRISTMAS CAPSULE COLLECTION

In honor of the Christmas Holiday season, Chloé is introducing a range of limited edition bags, small leather goods, sunglasses and jewelry, all available in stores from mid-November.

Each item has been exclusively designed to represent the symbiotic association between the ateliers’ craftsmanship and the rich charisma of the holidays.

 

 

Designed by Clare Waight Keller and introduced on Pre-Fall 2014, the Drew bag has rapidly turned into one of Chloe's most distinguished accessories. It was only fair to render the Drew in an exceptional way for Christmas. Dipped into rose and white gold, depending on the model, the luscious vegetal leather begins to sparkle and the chain and lock systems start to blaze. The hand-painted edges highlight the bag’s elegant curves, accentuating the ease that the Drew Bag is the must-have day-to-evening accessory. This bag turned jewel is well accompanied with the classic Baylee wallet which has received a delicate golden veil. Should the sun starts to shine in the winter, or even if it doesn’t, customers will find two pairs of sunglasses referencing the gold’s hues applied to the leather goods.

Six pieces of jewelry complete the collection. Two handmade rings and a cuff, each entirely covered by crystals, produce a rough texture inspired by ocean corals.

For a more polished attire, Chloé girls will favor additional bracelets and rings embellished with pearls, paved of Swarovski crystals.      

 

 

CHLOÉ presents EVERSTON BAG

CHLOÉ presents EVERSTON
FOR RESORT 2015

 

 

 

Introducing the EVERSTON bag – a new classic in the Chloé stable designed by Clare Waight Keller for Resort 2015, evoking the carefree attitude of the Chloé girl. The EVERSTON plays a confident game of contrasts between feminine curves and masculine structure – executed in the finest grade Italian leathers and finished with polished gold hardware. A tactile blend of smooth, nappa calfskin and sumptuous grained leather combines with the exotic touch of ‘Ayers’ watersnake to create accents of both texture and tonality. Bold yet soft colourways complement the Spring 2015 ready-to-wear collection, with hints of beige rosé, blush nude, hazel brown, stone green and cobalt blue.

The charm of the Everston lies in its pragmatic allure, as unexpected details are transformed into decoration that embodies the free-spirited, feminine essence of the Chloé DNA. Crafted in both large and medium-sized versions, its top-opening design features a soft, rolled frame set wide apart that conceals an oversized gold zipper, with hand-painted contrast edges that highlight the balance between structured geometry and the generous planes of vegetal leather. A dual system allows the Everston bag to be worn two ways, reflecting the independent and dynamic lifestyle of the Chloé girl. Firstly, an adjustable saddle strap allows the bag to be worn over the shoulder and slung low on the hip for an effortless, urban attitude. Secondly, the EVERSTON transitions into an elegant handbag with double-rolled handles and a piped horseshoe detail that finishes its subtle, 70’s-inspired design.

Spring-summer 2014 campaign

Last weekend of summer – golden light – serenity
smiles & whispers – making memories – complicity

The story

The Chloé mise-en-scène is about a sisterhood, a friendship. 

The specific story is hidden so the viewer is able to enjoy the beauty of the moment in a poetically artful way; generating a sense of time and space as well as setting a mood and suggesting the character’s state of mind. Lou Doillon asks questions invoking thought, inviting women into the world of Chloé. The sound is of summer: the natural environment, birds, crickets, wind, the laughter and joy of two women. The behaviour between the women is very strong yet soft. The emotion of Chloé is captured.

“I wanted to capture those care-free moments when girls are alone together. To reveal the shared moments of connectedness, when the masks fall away and everything is easy and natural.”
Clare Waight Keller, Chloé Creative Director

 

The photographers

This campaign sees the renewal of an iconic partnership between the Chloé Maison and photographers Inez and Vinoodh. First joining the Chloé family in 2004, Inez and Vinoodh have since shot several memorable campaigns for the brand. From Dewi Driegen and Caroline Winberg running wildly through the Jardin du Luxembourg to the sultry black and white fragrance portraits, Inez and Vinoodh bring a confident dynamism to their imagery that captures the attitude, effortless beauty and sense of nonchalance of Chloé.

"We love our work with Chloé since it gives us a chance to create images and films that express women's friendship, complicity, and hopes for the future in a light and playful manner."
Inez and Vinoodh

The girls

Lou Doillon – The talented French artist is a new face for Chloé. Clare Waight Keller was drawn to Doillon’s effortless sense of style and authentic femininity.

Julia Stegner – Radiant and confident, the German model captures the natural lightness and elegance that has become synonymous with Chloé girls.
