Chloé Pre-Fall 2025 Collection
'You collect things, you buy things, you create your wardrobe throughout time,' said Chemena Kamali from the spacious and serene Chloé showroom. 'The thing is, whenever you need or are looking for something specific, you don't find it, because it doesn't work like that.' Ah yes, that all-too-familiar dilemma…
This was a welcome collection preamble—relatable, more real talk than platitudes—which tracked with all that Kamali has cultivated at Chloé since her debut last year. Here, she was presenting pre-fall; and the brand's website is already offering some of the lighter pieces and new Heritage bag (see the large horse medallion logo) alongside lookbook photos that have the feel of a portrait series, especially since they feature such talents as Tish Weinstock, Petra Collins and Ever Anderson (daughter of Milla Jovovich and Paul W. S. Anderson). Did they get to choose their looks, each kind of intimate and layered? 'I'm always so interested to see what these different characters gravitate towards, how they take these pieces and make them theirs,' Kamali said. Translation: intuitive rather than imposed.
Consider the reinterpreted lace dresses and lingerie ensembles—Kamali now has these on lock—in saturated pastels with delicate incrustations, ruffles et al. Veering away from precious, they were topped with statement outerwear, at once fresh and lived-in, whether a satiny bomber, a great blue-green leather car coat with aged edges, or the folkloric maxi coat accented with purple embroidery. Worn with multi-strap Mary Janes or 'kinky' high, square-toe boots, plus jewelry that riffed on decades of decorative styles, and the outcome was a kind of coquettish, eclectic sophisticate. This composite persona has desirability and range—attracting the girls who are discovering Chloé for the first time and the women who want new versions of it.
Confirming that Kamali doesn't only do flou, the season's variety of jackets delivered, whether the cropped tapestry shape with its bourgeois codes or the double-breasted check blazer that she tried on to illustrate its sartorial but not suit-y silhouette. And since we already know from the fall runway show that Chloé is leaning into shearling in a big way, the pre-fall coats—including one trimmed in punkish turquoise—act like the amuse bouche, a chance to get in early on the trend. But let's revert back to the wise words of Kamali, who has created these pieces for the long term. 'Sometimes you have things that you love for a certain time, but then you don't wear it for a long time and then you pull it back out again.'

The First ‘Blood of Dawnwalker' Gameplay Teases a Vampiric Adventure
The Witcher 3 turned 10 years old back in May, and if you've been hoping for an RPG like it, that's where Blood of Dawnwalker could come in. The fantasy-RPG from Rebel Wolves—made up of CD Projekt Red alums deeply involved with both Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077—is a ways out, but that's not stopping the studio from showing off some of its systems and its take on being half-vampire. Plotwise, the game is set in a fictional 14th century medieval Europe and stars Coen, who's been recently turned into a vampire/human hybrid. He's got 30 days and nights to save his family, which requires making choices throughout his journey and eventually dethroning the vampire lords and their leader Brencis. Despite the time limit, Bloodwalker is open-world, and time only moves forward during specific, clearly telegraphed missions. But a faceoff with Brencis is coming sooner or later, and Coen get either go that final battle alone or with the help of allies he makes nice with. Like other RPGs, Blood of Dawnwalker is mostly focused on combat, which involves melee weapons and magic. Players use melee weapons (or their claws at night) to attack in directions where enemies aren't blocking or parrying, while magical hexes drain Coen's health and let him do feats like burning enemies' blood. According to design director Daniel Sadowski, health doesn't regenerate during the day, so players have to replenish by eating food and can put skill points into abilities that reduce how much health gets drained while casting hexes. At night, Coen can use vampire abilities that offer more stealth capabilities, scope out areas, and get around the world in more interesting ways. Using his powers requires blood, and that means eating people, or animals and 'other creatures' if you like. In the footage above, Sadowski talks up the game's freedom and 'narrative sandbox,' which allows players to tackle quests how and whenever they like. This open-endedness was a big selling point of the Witcher games, and something Rebel Wolves is clearly leaning as it develops the first in what it hopes is the start of a rival fantasy franchise. We'll see how that fares when Blood of Dawnwalker releases in 2026 for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. Want more io9 news?
