Afterlife: New Chloé Designer Brings the It Girl Wardrobe Back to Life

After a few seasons of relative anonymity (designer Phoebe Philo left some BIG platforms to fill when she headed over to Celine), Chloé emerged this season with a new designer at the helm—Hannah MacGibbon, who not coincidentally worked with Philo in the late '90s—and a fresh new look. Verdict? We loved it. The heavenly scalloping (a brilliant feminine accent that wasn't too girly), the '80s volume done right at the thigh, the springtime-perfect color palette. Not to be general, but it was all pretty gorgeous, and might we say, ever so reminiscent of the Karl Lagerfeld-Chloé years.
