“I’ve got a real sense of three-dimensional geometry. I can look at a flat piece of fabric and know that if I put a slit in it and make some fabric travel around a square, then when you lift it up it will drape in a certain way, and I can feel how that will happen”.

FRAGRANCE
CHLOE: LOVE STORY
Chloe Love Story is a new fragrance from the fashion house of Chloe, which comes on the market in September of 2014. Love Story is inspired by Parisian romance and the love padlocks on the bridge of the Pont des Arts; the campaign itself and the bottle design make this reference.
Perfumer Anne Flipo composed the new Chloe floral composition, which explores the note of orange blossom. The scent is clean and fresh, made from neroli, orange blossom and stephanotis (jasmine from Madagascar).
The face of the perfume is French actress Clémence Poésy, and the commercial was filmed by Mélanie Laurent.
