Description
Book SynopsisThe first comprehensive overview of ChloÃâs collections presented through catwalk photography, published in collaboration with Chloà to celebrate the houseâs 70th anniversary in 2022. Founded by Egyptian-born Gaby Aghion in 1952, Chloà pioneered luxury ready-to-wear that was all about ease and femininity, offering an elegant haute bohemian style for the modern, liberated Parisienne. Resolutely contemporary, the house spotted and hired a young Karl Lagerfeld as early as the 1960s: he stayed for over two decades, achieving fame and recognition worldwide through his Chloà work, before Stella McCartney (and her then assistant Phoebe Philo) succeeded him straight out of fashion school. This definitive publication opens with a concise history of the house of Chloà before exploring the collections themselves, which are organized chronologically. Each new era in ChloÃâs history opens with a brief overview and biography of the new designer, while individual collections are introduce
