Since its creation in 1952 by Gaby Aghion, Parisian Maison, Chloé, has championed a vision of liberated and free femininity. Driven by a desire to challenge the rigid codes and silhouettes of 1950s haute couture, Gaby Aghion defined an elevated, accessible and vibrant perspective on fashion. One that could accompany women in their newly freer daily lives, allowing for freedom of movement.
From its beginnings, Chloé has distinguished itself through a culture of collaboration, consistently showcasing new talents including Karl Lagerfeld, Stella McCartney, Phoebe Philo, and Clare Waight Keller. At the heart of this collaborative creativity is a desire to bring together the Maison values and savoir-faire, to cultivate a Youthful Spirit and a sense of Freedom, Optimism, Collective and Authenticity. To this day, these are our core values which inspire every member of the Chloé Maison.
Under the current creative direction of Chemena Kamali, the Maison is writing a new chapter in its history. True to Gaby Aghion's legacy, we place our clients at the heart of everything we undertake, whether through the quality of our creations or the attention paid to their experience with the Maison, which aims to be unique and memorable.
