Chloe Fall Winter 2011/12: A little 1930s glam style holiday dress inspiration!

Photos by J.T. www.stylerumor.comI wanted to take a look back at Chloe's evening wear from the Fall/Winter 2011-12 collection in order to provide some holiday evening wear inspiration.  These little gems sort of slipped passed me last year, until I walked into the display at a very high end outlet-yeah I said it a Chloe, Prada, Oscar, YSL, Missoni, Tori Burch,  and on.. all in actual outlet boutiques...and they exists just outside of NYC! (That said don't expect "outlet" prices but a 5,000 dress for 1,000 type sale).  The window of the Chloe boutique was right out of an old film. The two mannequins oozed dinner at the Blackstone Hotel circa 1932....

Anyway, the dresses in person were beautiful and by the way nicely discounted, all of them together made quite a visual impact for the lover of all things vintage or vintage inspired!

My favorite from the collection, which also walked the runway, was the black 30s style art deco gown. See the first image at the top. It even has a crepe feel to it in person and the art deco golden lock detail at the plunging neckline is so Old Hollywood. The cut of the dress was spot on for a 30s dress, I was impressed.  The other wonderful dresses present included a sort of coppery burgundy metallic fabric piece and a champagne toned gown. There was also a beautiful bolero style evening wrap/jacket.  The whole take on the 30s was modern yet so classic.  The textures all added to the luxurious feel.

If one cannot afford a Chloe gown even on discount think -a long black dress, open neckline with authentic deco paste stone jewelry for that glittery old hollywood look.  E. Find such an art deco era black dress.
