Chloe Holds An Immersive Paris Fashion Week Show

There was an ethnic, quasi-Balkan vibe to some of the soft geometric shapes in square shirt pockets. Also Cleopatra-style eyeliner and flashes of gold jewelry. But there was one substantial draw-back. Although the display was intended to be immersive, it fell victim to its own ambition: The high-tech plasma screen images made the design details difficult to see, and many guests were seated so that they could only see the sometimes distant backs of models.

DICE HAYEKS VIBRANT COLOR

It was a softer, more feminine, direction for Turkish-French designer Ece Ege at Dice Hayek, who has in recent seasons fused masculine tailoring with a muted palette. On Thursday, the collection was a celebration of vibrant color, shape, and general girliness — that at times echoed styles preferred by designers such as Giambattista Valli.

A multitude of oversize bows adorned some of the 27 looks, and skirts were sometimes fashioned with large, crisp pleats. The aesthetic for spring-summer harked back the high-waisted, almost-Empire Line styles of yesteryear in bright pinks, cadmium reds, and emerald greens.
