Paris Fashion Week: YSL underwhelms as Chloe and McCartney get fresh

The Chloe fashion house is celebrating its 60th birthday during Paris Fashion Week but its spring-summer 2013 show proved it's still as fresh as a daisy. Stella McCartney describes her collection as a fresh, optimistic and relaxed spring-summer outing. But Hedi Slimane's debut for Yves Saint Laurent caused fashion editors to disappointingly drop their pens half way through.
