Some guests clutched designer umbrellas in the light drizzle, but the sun came out for Chloe as the collection began. It could have been a metaphor for the bright and breezy show from hip designer Natacha Ramsay-Levi that was delivered in a soft summer palette.

For spring-summer, she continued in her signature boho designs teeming with gold earrings, pendants, bracelets and strappy leather sandal-boots. Hazy floral patterns added an extra softness to an already soft-looking, unstructured white gown with loose straps and scooped neck. “Relaxed,” it seemed, was the mot du jour.

There was an ethnic, quasi-Balkan vibe to some of the soft geometric shapes in square shirt pockets. Also Cleopatra-style eyeliner and flashes of gold jewelry. But there was one substantial draw-back. Although the display was intended to be immersive, it fell victim to its own ambition: The high-tech plasma screen images made the design details difficult to see, and many guests were seated so that they could only see the sometimes distant backs of models.
