Industrial aesthetics met with Chloé’s crafty approach for SS23. Gabriela Hearst had fusion energy on her mind, which she believes to be the answer to all our clean energy prayers. Taking cues from the circular machines used to create it, her collection was full of circular motifs.
The opening section featured slinky, circular crochet knit dresses (made from recycled cashmere of course), and jersey dresses inlaid with decorative leather disks. Denim dresses were decorated with circles of metal grommets and studs. Elsewhere, leather bib fronted dresses (made from certified European leather) came with with circular cut outs at the sides.
The the standout pieces, were a series of motorcycle leather coats and jackets, made from patchworks of coloured leather, laced together for a rough-tough effect.
