Paris Fashion Week - Chloe Fall 2011

A packed out show, with models marching down the catwalk to the opening track by Jay Z, part of a sound track put together by YOYO's (and Lily Allen's X) Seb Chew and John Gosling. The clothes varied in style, direction and fabric usage, which included a block coloured wool patchwork coat and trousers, 70's high waisted denim jeans, static leather jackets and snake skin print chiffon. My favourite piece of the show as a natural coloured snake skin print chiffon dress, shown below. Spotted in the front row was the stunning Bonnie Chen.

Having never heard of this brand (I now know Relative MO represent them) the show was stunning. The show had vibrant jewel colours, opulent Chinese embroidery, leather, and fur inspired by 'the traditional Chinese accessory, the ''treasure kit'' a small purse and accessory traced back to more than 2000 years ago, as written in the book of Li Sao during the Warring States Period'. The catwalk was unusual in the sense that the models walked a hypnotic figure of eight weaving in and out of the audience, which enhanced the spell binding show.

Randomly there was no PR people or bouncers on the door. The majority of the collection was white with black and YSL esc blue highlights, however the stand out element was the use of stripe, exaggerated by a play with contrasting fabric densities. I must say I liked the hair best of all!
