Chloé draws on dance and plays with contrasts for fall 2016 collection

After unveiling its “Sun 2016” collection for the summer season, luxury brand Chloé has lifted the lid on the inspirations and key pieces in store for its autumn wardrobe, with a series of looks inspired by dance and contrasts.

Although evidently autumnal, the collection's silhouettes evolve to follow the different stages of a dancer's regime, from studio warm-ups to onstage performances.
