In a departure from the modern graphicism of his first two runway shows at Chloé, Paulo Melim Andersson looked to Saint-Germain-des-Prés bohemian seventies heyday for pre-fall inspiration. Decadent shearlings embroidered with crystals came layered over shrunken sweaters teamed with relaxed jodhpurs, or topped drop-waist watercolor floral dresses. Layering—large floral prints with tiny calicos; thick, rich yarns over ribbed knits; and imperial purple in combination with orange, teal, and brown—was integral to the collection s opulent hippie mood, as was the costume jewelry and such accessories as brightly hued textured knits and slouchy, suede stacked-heel boots.
