It would be easy for a brand in flux to get a little bit lazy with its accessories for a resort collection while new creative talent got comfortable and plotted a new course for upcoming collections, but Chloe resort 2012 doesn’t strike me as lazy at all. When creative director Hannah MacGibbon was shown the door after a disappointing collection for fall 2011, I assumed that the earliest improvements would probably be seen on the spring 2012 runway. possibly that’s not the case.
Chloe’s resort bags aren’t revolutionary, but the have a cleanness and confidence that the brand’s previous several accessories collections have lacked. and while there’s a Paddington reboot in the mix, a practice of the brand that tends to irk me, the bright pink and minimal Paddington markings imply that, at the very least, it actually feels like a genuine reboot instead of a cynical cash grab. I’m all of a sudden feeling a lot much more thrilled about Chloe’s upcoming spring show. much more photos after the jump.
