“All I’ve ever wanted was for Chloé to have a happy spirit, to make people happy.”

Luxury with a conscience, or in other words, "honest luxury".
ZOË GHERTNER
Gabriela Hearst Creative Director

Gabriela Hearst joined the Maison as creative director for ready-to-wear, leather goods and accessories in December 2020.

Born in Uruguay, Gabriela Hearst honored her family’s heritage through the launch of her eponymous label in Fall 2015 after taking over the operations of her father’s ranch in Uruguay. She wanted to create a brand that reflects a slower pace and process: where things are made with care and detail, where tradition is more important than trend, where there is a purpose to every piece.

Gabriela’s commitment is to make a strong and modern collection without compromising her ethics and key values, taking into consideration where materials come from and who is making them: luxury with a conscience, or in other words, “honest luxury”. In 2018, Gabriela was appointed to the board of trustees of Save the Children. For the Spring Summer 2020 collection, shown in New York in September 2019, Gabriela Hearst produced the first ever carbon neutral runway show.

She is the winner of the 2016/17 International Woolmark Prize for Womenswear, 2018 recipient of the Pratt Institute Fashion Visionary Award, and 2020 recipient of the Frank Alvah Parsons Award. In 2020, she won the American Womenswear Designer of the Year Award at the CFDA Fashion Awards. The British Fashion Council awarded Gabriela as an Environment Honoree for her contribution in creating positive change within the industry at the 2020 Fashion Awards.

The beginning
Gabriella Hanoka is born in Alexandria, Egypt, into a cosmopolitan family. She marries her childhood friend Raymond Aghion in 1940 and, in 1945, the young couple move to Paris.

1950s
“I designed a small collection and hired a skilled seamstress who had worked in haute couture. I went to source the buttons, the fabrics myself … I was sticking my neck out. Soon I was carried away; it was like a tornado!” — Gaby Aghion
+Share
1952
Gaby Aghion designs her first collection and the story of Chloé, one of the first luxury ready-to-wear houses, begins. An alternative to the stiff formality of haute couture, Chloé offers an elegant and modern wardrobe with relaxed silhouettes in high-quality fabrics and refined details.
+Share
1957
Gaby Aghion organises Chloé’s first fashion show for the Spring-Summer 1958 collection at the renowned artist’s haunt, Café de Flore. From then on and until the mid-1960s, Chloé’s youthful and spirited fashion shows are held at other Left Bank cafés, the same venues that were the backdrop to the counter-cultural revolution of the day.

“The Chloé show was held in the Closerie des Lilas, a famous literary café. The press sits around tables drinking café au lait ... while the models weave in and out of the tables.” — The New York Times
+Share
1958
Gérard Pipart is the first young designer hired by Gaby Aghion. From 1958 onwards, the names of each of the Chloé garments follow the alphabet, a tradition that remains until 1987. It is re-introduced again with the accessories collection in 2012 by creative director Clare Waight Keller.
+Share
1960s
“I have a gift for recognising talent in others.” — Gaby Aghion

As defined by founder Gaby Aghion, Chloé’s romantic, cool and glamorous designs personify the aspirations of young women and are met with huge success. In the 1960s, Gaby entrusts a new generation of young talents: Gérard Pipart, Maxime de La Falaise, Michèle Rosier, Graziella Fontana and Karl Lagerfeld, to carry on her vision. These personalities work alongside each other and blossom under Gaby Aghion’s artistic direction.
+Share
1960
Gaby Aghion and Maxime de La Falaise design an iconic shirt-dress called, Embrun.

“Designing a dress like that, like a t-shirt, was very modern. This dress had a tremendous success because it said, ‘I am carefree’.” — Gaby Aghion
+Share
1962
In the early 1960s, the iconic silk blouse is introduced. The style becomes an essential part of the Chloé wardrobe and attitude.
+Share
1965
In 1965, a year after his arrival at Chloé, Karl Lagerfeld designs the Tertulia dress for Spring-Summer 1966. The hand-painted art nouveau-inspired motifs set the tone for Chloé’s elegant take on bohemian chic.
+Share
1969
In the mid-1960s, Chloé introduces loose silk trousers that glide over the skin. These pants embody a new brand of relaxed elegance, and establish the on-going tension between the feminine and the masculine in the Chloé attitude.

1970s
Karl Lagerfeld proves to be a prolific talent and emerges as Chloé’s sole designer during this period (from 1974 onwards). The 1970s is marked by his soft and flou silk dresses, which celebrate a feminine and carefree romanticism with delicate lace inserts.

The Rachmaninoff dress, with its graphic black and white motifs and its matching scarf tied around the head, is a perfect example of the romantic, bohemian and nomadic ethos of the 1970s.

1974
The 1970s are an ode to the Chloé cape. Endlessly re-interpreted throughout the decade, the cape embodies a sense of fluidity and freedom of movement — a signature of the Chloé style. For summer it reveals itself in whirls of light flyaway silk; in winter, when cast in soft wool, the cape asserts a feminine interpretation of a masculine wardrobe.

January 1975
Karl Lagerfeld becomes the exclusive designer at Chloé. He surrounds himself and Chloé with a clique of glamorous and talented friends, including fashion illustrator Antonio Lopez and models Pat Cleveland and Donna Jordan. Together, the nightclub darlings of New York light up Paris with their joie de vivre.
+Share
April 1975
The first Chloé fragrance is launched. The floral, feminine scent becomes one of the most popular scents of its time.
+Share
1980s
In the early 1980s, fashion became a playground where inspiration could be found almost anywhere. Collections are designed around a major theme and brought to life in spectacular runway shows. Models dance and pirouette down the runway, making every event as much a party as a show.
+Share
1982
For Spring-Summer 1983 Karl Lagerfeld is inspired by music. He designs the famous Angkor dress, embroidered with a trompe l’œil violin and close friend, Antonio Lopez, reinterprets this playful design with a vibrant watercolour illustration.

1983
For Spring-Summer 1984, Karl Lagerfeld designs the Ciseaux dress, embroidered with a trompe l’œil scissors. This collection on the theme of sewing ends the double decade of his first long and fertile collaboration with the house.

1987
Following Karl Lagerfeld’s departure and a quick succession of other designers, Martine Sitbon is appointed head designer of the Maison. Her five-year tenure introduces a play on soft femininity featuring references to historical menswear and the glossy world of cabaret.

1990s
Karl Lagerfeld returns to Chloé in 1992. Over the next few years, he mines various cultural references, from classical to pop culture, and celebrates a feminine and carefree romanticism. His spirited collections are brought to life by the famous 1990s supermodels whose larger-than-life personas defined this era.

The Spring-Summer 1994 collection is ethereal and romantic: diaphanous tulle dresses are hand-painted with motifs inspired by archaeological frescoes from the Greek island of Santorini.

Throughout this decade, three young female British designers, Stella McCartney, Phoebe Philo and Hannah MacGibbon, succeed one another in the role of Creative Director. Capitalising on this newfound energy, the Maison broadens its horizons with the launch of accessories, including bags, small leather goods and shoes, along with new sister line, See By Chloé.

A is for Artistic
Since Gaby Aghion founded Chloé in the 1950s within the artistic circles of the Left Bank, the Maison has attracted creative spirits, artists and innovators alike. Gaby set out to establish the brand as a hothouse for young talent and fresh ideas, paving the way for the talented designers and collaborators who have shaped Chloé’s identity over the decades.

B is for Boyish
Timeless tailoring and boyish elegance remain at the core of Chloé, often in balance with boundless femininity. The dichotomy between the two styles exists in perfect harmony in the Chloé universe, and such tomboyish tendencies add an air of nonchalance.

E is for Effortless
Chloé illuminates women with a particular way of being in the world: one that is authentic, that doesn’t need to be artificially dressed up or a canvas for other people’s ideas. Garments are chosen and worn with a sure sense of elegance and a casual air of confidence.

F is for Feminine
There is surely no other Maison more synonymous with femininity than Chloé. From the delicate lace dresses to the floor-length flou gowns, these captivating garments are designed by women, for women. But beyond the clothes we wear, Chloé embodies sisterhood and female empowerment with its all-inclusive club, #chloeGIRLS.

H is for Happy
"All I ever wanted," Gaby Aghion once said, "was for Chloé to have a happy spirit and to make people happy." Ever since, warmth, light and positivity have influenced everything the Maison does: from the upbeat runway shows, to the lively after parties, and the lightness and calm of our boutiques.

I is for Independent
"I lived the life I wanted to. I always wanted to remain independent so I went for it. I had incredible faith and boldness," said Gaby Aghion on Chloé’s defining spirit of independence. It’s there in the singular design and attitude of each garment that is, in turn, embodied by Chloé girls the world over.

J is for Joyful
In the late 1970s and early 1980s, the models on Chloé’s runway would dance and pirouette, bringing lightness, positivity and playfulness to every show. That is the Chloé mind-set: happy, liberated, and confident. In France, moments like this evoke joyeux – or “joy”. The word simply means to be happy, to smile, laugh – all part of the Chloé spirit.

K is for Kaleidoscopic
The Chloé palette eschews searing bright colours: it is subtle – brimming with warm pastel shades, and subtle variations. Spanning a spectrum that runs from Chloé’s iconic beige rosé to pure white and cream, along with coral pink, slate grey, ice blue, vanilla yellow and mint green, and gold.

L is for Light
Think of a ray of sunlight coming through the blinds on a summer’s day; the Mediterranean light bouncing off the sea; the colour of the pyramids in Gaby Aghion’s Egypt; and the colour of sun-warmed skin. A symbol of femininity and beauty in its natural state, light is at the heart of Chloé. Caressed with the warmth of natural light, the Chloé woman feels free.

M is for Modern
The strength of the modern woman lies in the ability to be self-defining: to decide one’s own values, tastes and desires. This mood has always been at the heart of the Maison’s DNA, ever since Gaby Aghion pioneered prêt-à-porter with her unpretentious, contemporary designs and independent spirit.

N is for Natural

P is for Parisian
Paris, and the nonchalance of the Parisian woman, has always been the star of the Chloé story. During Gaby Aghion’s era, Paris was a centre for bohemian, intellectual culture with young beatniks gathering on the Left Bank and Chloé was perfect in sync with that Parisian mood – youthful and modern in design, rebellious in spirit. Today the city of light remains the fashion capital of the world and the Maison rests in the heart of it all.

Q is for Quirky
Whimsical motifs and pop culture references inject a hint of irreverence and playful provocation into each Chloé collection. This art for the unexpected can be found everywhere: from the design details on the bags – a hand-tied knot in the strap and the play between different hardware accents – to the flyaway tassels adorning silk dresses and blouses.

R is for Rock
Music sets the scene in the Chloé world, from the straining riffs of a guitar at an after party, to the feel-good soundtracks on the runway. The sounds you hear affect your mood, your thoughts – and the way you move. Our love of music is also evidenced from the inspiring line-up of musicians we support: artists like Flo Morrissey, Marianne Faithful, Florence and the Machine, and Haim.

S is for Spontaneous
Chloe’s air of spontaneity can be found in the easy silhouettes of the garments and the carefree attitude of the women wearing them. Designed to fit into the Chloé woman’s lifestyle – she’s always on the go – the look is never over thought, always nonchalant and relaxed.

Y is for Youthful
Chloé is about keeping the carefree spirit of youth – whatever your age. Age, after all, is just a number – style lives forever. Chloé has always looked out for the young, the new, and the fresh. While the rest of fashion was catering to women of a certain age, founder Gaby Aghion wanted to appeal to all women who entertained a youthful, creative and free-spirit – women just like her.
