The chloefashion spring 2023 collection is here. See every look:
There’s a party in Chloé’s power plant and everyone is coming. This season, Gabriela Hearst dedicated her collection to the promotion of fusion: “It’s basically the energy of the stars and the universe,” she said during a preview, flanked by representatives from ITER as well as Commonwealth Fusion Systems and Helion—companies which are working on harnessing this benign source of energy through giant round devices known as tokamaks.
She arranged the seats of her show—set within a blacked-out Pavilion Vendôme—to mimic the circular shape of the tokamak and surrounded the structure with hoops hanging from the ceiling and laser lights that evoked an industrial rave. That feeling reverberated through a collection that served as a figurative ode to fusion power, adapting the curves of the tokamak into silhouettes and surface decoration that looked part power plant uniform and part retro warehouse party.
The rave kicked off at high speed with knitted dresses with cut-outs created from recycled cashmere and blazers constructed in linen, a favorite material of Hearst’s due to its pesticide-free harvesting method. They made for a soft opening before the mood turned decidedly industrial: dresses in foiled mesh or knitted to look like perforation, and outfits in head-to-toe certified European leather fit for a fancy factory worker.
A series of utilitarian motorcycle outfits in leather Frankensteined with lacing that looked like magnified stitching made for the collection’s strongest proposition for a ‘season piece’—something that will read as ‘Chloé’ as Hearst’s signature recycled plastic trainers, which appeared elevated on platforms alongside metallic clogs for the discerning manual laborer.
Most seductive was a delectable black suit forged from wool from the designer’s ranch in Uruguay, which houses some 8,000 Merino sheep. Power-cut in a sculpturally slouchy silhouette, it was one of a few pieces in the collection labelled with a QR code that, when scanned by potential customers in-store, will tell you exactly where its material was sourced.
