New Designer for Chloé

PARIS – Chloe is parting ways with its creative director, Paulo Melim Andersson, and has named Hannah MacGibbon his successor, WWD has learned.

MacGibbon was a key member of the design team under former creative director Phoebe Philo, and helped define the hip femininity that catapulted Chloe tofashion’s big leagues.

Melim Andersson, who joined Chloe from Marni in 2006, showed three collections for the house and received mixed reviews.

I don't know if I'm happy about this, I really liked Andersson's work and I loved all the collections he did for Chloé. But I'm also interested to see the changes the new designer will bring to the brand.
