Chloé was certainly the darling of the Fall/Winter 2010 collections - a truth we're seeing play out now in the colors and textures available for fall. While the formula of a gorgeous silk tie-color blouse up top, wide-leg trousers below, and the absolute ubiquity of camel throughout was not necessarily unique to Chloé (think Celine, Salvatore Ferragamo, etc.), the clearest execution of that vision was. But beware: if the excitement surrounding last year's Balmain aesthetic was of precedence, editors will (and have already sadly begun to...) shoot Chloé to death.
I have to admit they're really quite gorgeous, though, the browns, even if their freshness is waning. Consider the range available for play! And the colors to pop against the neutrals! And now that we've all agreed that brown (certain shades, anyhow) complements black (shout out to leopard print for decriminalizing a heretofore unfairly rejected combo), the boundaries seem truly limitless. Not to mention the range of looks available : country club class (Chloé, Celine), equestrienne (Dior, Hermés, and Ferragamo, among others, jockeying Ralph Lauren's horse!), pin-up harlot (Dolce & Gabbana), and Harvard prep (the "Meet the Hilfigers" ad campaign officially revitalizing the house's vision).
So many 'fits, so little time!
