Chloe Striped Sweater and Lampshade Skirt

I must say that I’m excited! The new designer at Chloe is Paulo Melim Andersson from Sweden, taking the brand over from Britain’s queen of cool Phoebe Philo (and before her, another equally amazing Brit queen of cool, Stella McCartney). At first I was worried that the brand might lose its signature youthful charm, the certain je ne sais quoi that made this the go-to brand for DPTs (dirty pretty things). Andersson used to work at Marni, which is a bit like the Italian equivalent of youthfully irreverent cool. Available to pre-order through Saks Fifth Avenue is Chloe’s Fall collection, including this Striped Sweater and Lampshade Skirt ($1070 and $1000), which exemplifies some amazing detailing. On the sweater, the stripes are knit together, not dyed, which gives you a much finer looking end result. The taffeta skirt comes with a full silk lining, which is a wonderfully luxe detail. Order now before they become collectibles!
