Boho Silhouettes: Culture Minister and Fluttery Layers

boho silhouettes: Some highlights CHLOE DESIGNER BIDS FAREWELLThe final chapter in Clare Waight Keller's reign strayed not too far from the hippy-chic '70s DNA that's now synonymous with the Chloe house, according to Brandon Sun. It was a play-it-safe moment to cap six years at the helm of one of Paris' most iconic fashion houses. But politics also was in the air with France's culture minister saying the rise of nationalism could threaten Paris' multicultural fashion industry. Diaphanous jabot collars, fluttery layers of cascading chiffon, oversize retro fur coats and exaggeratedly billowing slung pants were on this season's menu of loose boho silhouettes. But, at times the garments and collection though executed to perfection seemed to lack a little soul. The '70s penchant for colour was also clearly referenced in the 43-piece collection's use of prints and lashings of icy pastel hues shades of mint, peach and lilac that merged into earthy tones.
