Chloé was founded in 1952 by Gaby Aghion, an Egyptian-born Parisian who liberated women from the formal fashion of the era by pioneering luxury ready-to-wear. A true visionary, Gaby Aghion believed that women should dare to be themselves.
Today, the Maison is a leading luxury French fashion house, which continues to embrace the founder’s vision of free-spirited femininity and effortlessness under the creative direction of Chemena Kamali.
Femininity Without Constraint
Since 1952, Chloé has redefined femininity through freedom. Rather than adhering to rigid conventions, the Maison celebrates natural beauty, comfort, and individuality. Soft, effortless yet confident designs have become a signature of Chloé, where femininity is not a stereotype but an authentic expression of self. This is the spirit of the Chloé woman: free-spirited, independent, and effortlessly elegant.
Pioneer of Luxury Ready-to-Wear
Chloé redefined luxury fashion by pioneering the concept of luxury ready-to-wear. At a time when Haute Couture dominated the industry, the Maison introduced elevated designs created for real life, blending Parisian elegance with modern practicality. This visionary approach not only shaped Chloé's identity but also helped pave the way for the global rise of luxury ready-to-wear fashion.
