See by Chloé Fall 2012

Noria Morales — Wed, 29 Feb 2012 12:00:23 PST

For its Fall 2012 collection, See by Chloé presented its first runway show in Paris today, and being the modern line that it is, it did the presentation digitally, showing on the Chloé website this morning. It was a collection meant to be seen in movement, as the opening looks were all about flow - diaphanous fabrics cut into draped tops, silky pants, and soft dresses that fluttered on the models. Ideal Spring dresses now, they make for a soft contrast later with Winter knits and coats. It was all about effortless chic - a pert peacoat was done in rusty wide wale cord and worn over a bodysuit; a black asymmetric skirt was paired with a superbly cut black blazer. Blouson sleeves returned, a romantic touch on casually draped tops and dresses. It's a collection you can build a wardrobe on, and that's exactly the point of Chloé's little sister line, no?

Trends: Draped silks, slouchy pants, blouson sleeves, wide wale corduroy
Colors: Lime green, olive green, red, black, white, taupe.
Key Piece: Any of the draped dresses, tops, and silky pants; the rust peacoat.
Accessories: Pointy-toe booties; small bowling bags.
Who Would Wear It: The cool downtown girl - you know this fills the closets of women like Rachel Bilson, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, and Alexa Chung.

What We're Craving From See by Chloé's Resort Collection

Noria Morales — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 05:30:03 PDT

Like an irresistible treat, images from the See by Chloé resort collection landed in our inbox, and we gleefully ate it up. It's playful and feminine, and we have fallen hard for the accessories in particular. Items are just beginning to hit stores this month, so keep an eye out. Here's what we're gleaning from the collection, and what we've got marked for purchase:

Holiday party coming up? The white lace fitted dress ($795) is a dream, as is the bow-topped LBD, and embellished black ankle strap heels.

Denim in new silhouettes is key - we love this flowy denim maxi to wear now with a big sweater, and during warmer months (or a tropical vacation) with a silky tank.

A precious little purse isn't just for kids, and we think this scalloped-edge, chain-link number has just enough girliness to balance out more streamlined, simple outfits.

We have roughly a week before Fashion Week starts but that doesn't mean you have to wait that long to see what's new for Spring '12. See by Chloé just released images of its latest collection, and it's filled with bright colors, pretty prints, and feminine silhouettes. We'll have to wait a good while to see these pieces in stores, but that won't stop us from showing you what's to come. Check out our top three looks below:

This mixed-print look is simultaneously quirky and chic.

We adore the abstract butterfly print on this sheath dress.

These green floral prints would look amazing with a golden tan.

Trend Alert: The Gold Standard

Noria Morales — Tue, 08 Mar 2011 03:34:46 PST

Want to look sun-kissed before the first beach day? We're loving Eniko Mihalik's warm sheen for Harper's Bazaar's March editorial - and we took notes. Layer golden hues with abandon. Stack bangles, layer necklaces, and pair it with rich mustard and golden tones. It could be a strappy Giuseppe Zanotti gold shoe ($695) popping out from skinny See by Chloé pants ($108, originally $270), or a series of cuffs adding a warrior-like quality to your arm. Work the gold standard, and you'll shine.

Trend Alert: Funky Town

Hannah Weil — Sun, 16 Jan 2011 06:03:05 PST

Whether it's cutouts, prints, asymmetrical hemlines, or all of the above, I'm craving a funky dress like the ones Emily Deschanel, Chloë Sevigny, and Zoe Saldana are sporting. They're statement making - not your typical cocktail dresses - with subtle cutouts or lacy inserts. Just choose a style with your favorite print, or a strategic cutout that shows off your shoulders, maybe a hint of your back or torso. Part of the sexy is in the unpredictability; it's just about finding the ruffle, print, or brilliant hue that speaks to your style. Any way you dice it, won't you take me to . . . funky town!
