The Chloé Comme Parris Spring 2013 line comes from the minds of the sisterly duo that is Chloe and Parris Gordon. The two have recently brought their pieces to New York Fashion Week's GenArt event where they attracted clients Fred Segal and Curve.
Chloe and Parris' return to Toronto was met with anticipation at the Toronto's 2012 Fashion Week. Their international proclivity added new twists to their designs despite their Canadian roots, seen in their deliberate infusion of chic California girl notes into this Spring 2013 collection.
When asked about the line, Chloé Comme Parris describes their inspiration as stemming from "...Venice Beach skate culture in the 70s." And indeed, the leather bikers vests and mini dresses are certainly appropriate for the locale and bygone era.
