心若くして60周年記念を祝った「クロエ」が東京で大盛り上がりのパーティーをフランス大使館で開催した!
There has been a deafening lull in the season thus far and that calls for an all-out bash. Good thing then, because it was Chloe’s 60th Anniversary and they were in the mood for partyin’. This wasn’t a call to arms for all fashionistas though, it was rather an intimate “friends-only” gathering at the French Embassy… which doesn’t mean it was quiet by all means.

クロエの社長さんとこんなんでいいですか?
Mari Natsuki on stage (later joined by Sara Mary for a performance). Mari had bragging rights as she was wearing vintage Chloe from the period when Karl Lagerfeld was the designer (Chloe actually launched his career, and he was one of the first and most successful pret a porter designers at the time).
Clare Waight Keller is the current designer at Chloe and she was super laid-back and sweet

Last time I checked in with Chloe I was in Paris last October celebrating the 60th Anniversary of the top ranked brand. I was chosen as one of 5 world bloggers to represent a letter of the brand name Chloe and I got “e” for embroidery. I know the impression we young’uns have of the brand is that of minimalism, simplicity and cleanliness, but don’t forget that the brand is hugely fond of surrealism, punchlines, and jokes. Check out the archives here, and then case in point, Liv Lo’s dress below of an embroidered violin perhaps inspired by a Man Ray photo (it was designed by Karl Lagerfeld in 1983 and Chloe Sevigny wore it recently in NYC here)

This is Gene Krell, and if anyone treats VOGUE like their bible, or should I say VOGUE Japan/GQ as their bible, you will have seen him around lately for his witty columns. He is sharp, a walking wiki on fashion, and in 1 10-minute conversation he brought down some of my favorite fashion idols from their sky-high pedestals and sent them to the earth’s plane (without me telling him who they were!). I admire that greatly, and it was such a pleasure to see him out and about. My next mission is to get him to somehow come see a Japanese fashion show next season…
I wore an outfit made for the runway by MURUA, a heavy mesh vest made of crystals and sheer top with gauze skirt. The shoes are by Iron Fist and they are printed with a girly zombie print that was a perfect contrast. Chloe likes to be a little funny, right?

Happy birthday to Chloe and here’s to many happy returns.
