When Gaby Aghion founded Chloé in 1952, she was still unaware that she was inventing luxury ready-to-wear, aimed at the modern, emancipated and elegant Parisian woman. In 1964, Aghion met a young Karl Lagerfeld, who would create the brand's most iconic designs in over twenty years, taking it to the top of international fashion. He was succeeded at the creative helm by brilliant avant garde designers, from London-based Stella McCartney and Phoebe Philo to the Uruguayan Gabriela Hearst, committed to promoting fashion with minimal environmental impact. With a foreword by Suzy Menkes and descriptive texts by Lou Stoppard, this volume celebrates one of the world's most innovative fashion houses on the 70th anniversary of its founding.
