Fashion Fun Sello! Chloé ou See by Chloé? That’s a Very French Question

Sello Shopping Centre, Espoo

On the last Sunday of April, the snow melts overnight, the wind turns, and the sun finally shines on in Helsinki! There is no need of long wool coat, still, layers of 100% cotton shirts/jackets will ensure both warmth and chic while taking a neighbourhood walk after the afternoon tea time.

Founded by Gaby Aghion in Paris, the style of Chloé’ has been conveying the elegance and feminine of female since 1952, yet with strong sustainability for wearing. Chloé denim items embody a more of pastel tone on a rather anti-deformed pattern, make denim an easy must-have to mix and match with iron noir, baby pink, milky white, or even navy blue to express the spring style. Made in Tunisia, 100% cotton, French size 34 has the 62 cm in length, my new purchase in April, Chloé denim shirt can actually be a mini jacket, which the puffy sleeves are designed for a slightly loose fit. Since this denim jacket is in washed blue, it’s better to dodge the coherent colour of jeans in order to avoid the Texas cowboy look, therefore, Gina Tricot light grey jeans is the choice for the balance of the blue tone.


As the tops in order to mix with Chloé denim, the nude pink silk crepe de Chine camisole from Chelsea Flower matches the poppy-rose and sky-blue of Tsumori Chisato 100% cotton shirt. Founded in Tokyo, 1990, Tsumori Chisato’s signature style was soon celebrated with her innovative and luxurious textiles, intricate beading, embroidery, appliqués and prints of her own drawings. This cotton white shirt embroidery with clouds, mermaids and vessels has its fun and chic elements, which purchased in 2006, out of my immediate adoration. Yet it’s difficult to mix with my other dark noir pieces to create the dreamy look. Finally this year Chloé denim item pops up and the inspiration comes without any hesitation.

For the accessories, Chloé round-framed ivory white acetate sunglasses, with the layering brown lenses suit the feminine look well, Chanel pearl logo earrings are good with any other my golden rings and completed with Vivienne Westwood golden orb faux pearl bracelet (also purchased in 2006). I am very mind of non-authentic materials of jewelry, by all means; yet neither Chanel nor Vivienne Westwood conveys any sense of the cheap appearance and very on contrary, each keeps the trend never fade. As about my sac of the day, See by Chloé Doublure sac was a surprise found in Taipei apartment during Chinese New Year holidays. Its softness of veau leather, the impressionist dotted pattern on the flap and the golden hardware candy-simulation front lock make See by Chloé collection as strong as her master line, Chloé. The question to mix Chloé with See by Chloé for look of the day, it’s a very intriguing question, but the answers are equally exciting and captivating.

TOP TIP 1: Dodge the coherent colour of jeans in order to avoid the Texas cowboy look
TOP TIP 2: Double layer of 100% cotton shirt/jacket is the new way to wear warm and chic
