This weekend in Paris, Chloe celebrated its 60th birthday with the opening of a retrospective exhibit called Chloé.ATTITUDES at the Palais de Tokyo. Having only a sense of what Chloe looks like under the creative direction of '70s-leaning minimalist cool girls--from Stella McCartney to to Phoebe Philo to Hannah MacGibbon to Clare Waight Keller--I was surprised to see how whimsical and how much of a sense of humor the label had under earlier designers like Karl Lagerfeld and Maxime de La Falaise. A white v-neck bathing suit with a pineapple on the crotch? Why not?
