For fall, Clare Waight Keller was inspired by the style of Margot Tenenbaum, the quirky character played by Gwyneth Paltrow in Wes Anderson’s 2001 cult film “The Royal Tenenbaums.” More broadly, Waight Keller envisioned her See by Chloé girl as a French student at the Sorbonne, spending an afternoon at the library with her girlfriends.
Her lineup, consequently, had plenty of collegiate touches and boyish charm à la button-down poplins, pussy-bow blouses, collared dresses and cozy sweaters. Pops of mustard, orange and pink offset the otherwise muted palette, while confetti and garden prints added a touch of feminine whimsy. Standouts included Seventies-style patchwork denim looks and colorful, oversize mohair coats, some adorned with fringe accents.
