Poncho

The poncho is a rectangular piece of clothing made of sheep, llama, alpaca or vicuna wool, with a slit in the centre to introduce the head. There are many different designs and colours, and normally it varies depending on the region and the people who used to wear it. Its outline can have fringes, trimming or stripes.

Ponchos hold an important part of Latin America's history. From Argetina to Mexico, they have been during centuries the coat of the Argentinian gauchos, Indians, Peruvians... Currently it is used by the farmers and also in the cities.

Chlo� showed this amazing one in the S/S collection last month in Paris. Simple and minimalist, a must-have for this winter, even if it's spring/summer collection


Chlo� S/S 2010


El poncho es una pieza de ropa rectangular hecha de lana de oveja, de llama, de alpaca o vicu�a, con un agujero en el centro para introducir la cabeza. Los ponchos presentan diversos dise�os y colores, y normalmente var�an dependiendo de la regi�n y la gente que los sol�a llevar. Sus bordes pueden llevar adornos varios, como flecos o borlas.

Los ponchos representan una parte crucial de la historia de Am�rica Latina. Desde Argentina hasta M�xico, los ponchos fueron y son una importante prenda de abrigo para los gauchos argentinos, los indios o los peruanos... A pesar de que Chlo� present� esta simple y minimalista versi�n del poncho en el desfile primavera/verano 2010, es un must para este invierno.
