Chloé Resort 2015
British designer Clare Waight Keller has come up trumps with her collection for Chloé this Resort 2015. Inspired by Le Corbusier’s Villa Savoye in Poissy, Keller not only drew on the modernist architecture but also envisioned the experience between architectural form and the daily rituals of its occupants and their interaction with the interior spaces of the Villa.
The musings on this dialogue between the architecture and the interiors is represented by this collection of weighty enclosures of outer garments, sensuous and almost architectural silhouettes, upholstery-weight fabrics, and tiled geometric patterning. The garments’ very foundations, that of the human body, are exemplified by generous constructions of fabric belted and laced at the waist creating off centered swathes that dress and frame body structure. Delicate black and nude lace veils modest slips.
There is a very clear appreciation for the timelessly beautiful palette of the Villa Savoye in this collection’s vintage mustards, royal blues, emerald green, nudes and of course, its signature blacks and whites.
