Pringle of Scotland Spring 2012

FabSugar — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 12:50:04 PDT

Alistair Carr showed his first collection for Pringle of Scotland today to a crowd of celebrities including Tilda Swinton, Harry Potter's Bonnie Wright, and Rosario Dawson. Carr's collection debut, described as The Beatles' “Across the Universe,” featured remixed chain link and argyle prints taken from the archives and turned into modern marvels with a '60s twist via brightly printed split-back dresses, shifts, and knits. Trousers were kept either loose or cropped, and some even featured refreshing slits around the knees and tuxedo stripes. Standout pieces include the purple chain-link print paired with metal cap-toe pumps, colored sunglasses, and the graphic print argyle knit sweaters. It was the perfect mix of modern and vintage from Alistair Carr, and we can't wait to see more from the designer. More highlights from the collection below.

Trends: Asymmetric hemlines, bright knit dresses, slit-detail trousers, bright print dresses, digital print knits.
Colors: Gray, black, white, yellow, purple, turquoise blue.
Key Look: We loved the purple chain-link print dress and graphic argyle prints.
Accessories: Modern laced cap-toe pumps, double cuffs.
Who Would Wear It: Women who like to wear modern cuts and prints Victoria Beckham and front-row attendee Tilda Swinton.

Celebrity Style: Rachel Bilson

Rachel graced Barneys with her petite presence yesterday in LA. I wonder what she bagged? The actress dressed how I would for a serious shopping excursion - fashionably at ease. On top, she wore a loose floral blouse, and kept the rest of her look streamlined via faded skinny jeans, Chloe platforms, and a Pringle of Scotland slouch tote. Retro green Chanel shades add quirk and reveal that she doesn't take herself too seriously.

Chloé Spring 2012

FabSugar — Mon, 03 Oct 2011 15:43:23 PDT

Clare Waight Keller debuted her first Spring collection for Chloé since taking the reigns from Hannah MacGibbon. Waight Keller, who most recently headed up design for knitwear brand Pringle of Scotland, showed a superbly light hand, sending flowy silhouettes and a soft palette down the runway. There was a hint of menswear in the cut of boxy shirts, blouses, and trousers, but it all felt very feminine thanks to prints - pretty florals - and colorblocking that mixed tones of blush and nude with deeper red or blue tones. Highlights were definitely the pleated pieces, which swished down the runway and gave a bouncy feel to the carefree collection. We can't wait to see what Waight Keller does next.

Trends: Pleats, colorblock, boxy silhouettes.
Colors: Nudes, blushes, rose, garnet, navy, white, cream.
Key Look: The pleated pieces; a beautiful nude tunic over a white romper.
Accessories: Wide belts, leather clutches in pretty colors like yellow or orange, leather flat sandals.
Who Would Wear It: Easy, breezy girls like Gwyneth Paltrow or Clemence Poesy.

Meet the New Designer of Chloé: Clare Waight Keller

Noria Morales — Mon, 09 May 2011 07:25:59 PDT

Another big designer move was announced this morning: Clare Waight Keller is taking the Chloé reigns from Hannah MacGibbon, who is leaving Chloé after 10 years to pursue "new projects," according to WWD. What does this mean for the French luxury house and fans of Chloé's feminine sophistication? You can count on a continued emphasis on knitwear injected with a dose of sexiness. Waight Keller, who like MacGibbon, is British born, just finished a six-year stint as creative director of Pringle of Scotland, where she resurrected the heritage line into something modern and cool and reworked the line's knitwear. Before that, she worked under Tom Ford at Gucci, which means she knows a thing or two about sex appeal. Waight Keller will officially take over June 1, so we can look forward to seeing her first collection for Chloé at Spring 2012 Fashion Week.
