# Retro Revival Rags The Chloe Resort 2012 Collection Brings Color Back By Souzan Michael | Published 2011-07-20 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chloe-resort-2012 References: [fashionologie](http://www.fashionologie.com/Chloe-Resort-2012-Collection-17914406) & [style](http://www.style.com/fashionshows/review/2012RST-CHLOE) Model Jacquelyn Jablonski shows off the [Chloe Resort](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holiday-bow-bar) 2012 collection, which is a reworking on Chloe favorites and classics that the fashion house is known for. Staple pieces like structured trench coats and wide-legged trousers are explored in a new light due to their bright colors and interesting fabrics. The Chloe Resort 2012 collection comes at a point of transition for the fashion house, as Hannah MacGibbon is out as creative director and Clare Waight Keller's [debut runway collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-famiglia-collection) is not expected until October. While the collection may not be revolutionary or particularly innovative, it is certainly a great presentation of a design team's ability to recreate Chloe's well-known pieces in a refreshing way. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.4/10 - Popularity: 62% | Activity: 63% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Retro Revival:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Exploring nostalgic fashion trends and reworking classic pieces with modern twists. - **Colorful Classics:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Experimenting with bright colors and interesting fabrics to give traditional garments a fresh and vibrant appeal. - **Designer Transitions:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Embracing the creative shift in fashion houses as new designers take over and bring their own unique vision to established brands. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion & Apparel:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Reframing traditional fashion pieces to cater to changing consumer preferences and evolving trends. - **Creative Consulting:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Assisting fashion brands in navigating transition periods and successfully rebranding established collections to attract new customers. - **Textile Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Developing innovative fabrics and materials that offer exciting possibilities for designers to transform classic garments into contemporary fashion statements. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Romantic Resort Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kallmeyer-resort-2026-collection.md) - [Spring Fashion Blooms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reformation-spring-2025.md) - [Playful Spring-Forward Statements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marc-jacobs-charm-collection.md) - [Retrospective Chic Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prefall-2026-collection.md) - [Vibrant Upscale Makeup Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chanels-spring-2025.md) - [Optimistic Fashion Brand Runways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brand-homecoming.md) - [Whimsical Spring Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Anna-Suis-SpringSummer-2025.md) - [Playful Limited-Edition Travel Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neely-chloe.md) - [Luxury Resort Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteurs-resort-2025-collection.md)
