Ahh the luxury of leather, and who better to work with
leather than chloe with their simple bohemian 70's signature
look. There was the traditional full pant teamed with coloured
knits, the most interesting piece however goes to the black
leather jumpsuit.... daringly conceived.

I know what you are thinking! Surely these are not all
from the same collection- I can assure you they are,
surprisingly unlike previous Chloe collections Hannah
Mcgibbon presents what is perhaps the most diverse
collection for the house with such a variety of
aesthetics and materials such as denims to snakeskin,
to leather to colourful wools. The shoes are just a
demonstration of this diversity but then strangely they
compliment most of the collection.

Whilst snakeskin seems to be the key material for leatherwear
this season I still find it difficult to appreciate it on mass or as
a print- however Hannah McGibbon is the only designer this
season whom seems to have the ability to sway this opinion
with her revival of patchwork that is geometrically refined and
colours carefully balanced together it is perhaps the only
snakeskin you will see on this lady.
