New Designer for Chlo�

PARIS � Chloe is parting ways with its creative director, Paulo Melim Andersson, and has named Hannah MacGibbon his successor, WWD has learned.

MacGibbon was a key member of the design team under former creative director Phoebe Philo, and helped define the hip femininity that catapulted Chloe tofashion�s big leagues.

Melim Andersson, who joined Chloe from Marni in 2006, showed three collections for the house and received mixed reviews.

I don't know if I'm happy about this, I really liked Andersson's work and I loved all the collections he did for Chlo�. But I'm also interested to see the changes the new designer will bring to the brand.
