The first comprehensive overview of Chloé's collections presented through catwalk photography
published in collaboration with Chloé to celebrate the house's 70th anniversary in 2022.
Founded by Egyptian-born Gaby Aghion in 1952 Chloé pioneered luxury ready-to-wearthat 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 Chloé 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 Chloé before exploring the collections themselves which are organized
chronologically. Each new era in Chloé's history opens with a brief overview and biography of
the new designer while individual collections are introduced by a short text unveiling their
influences and highlights and illustrated with carefully curated catwalk images. A rich
reference section including an extensive index concludes the book. After Chanel Dior
Louis Vuitton Yves Saint Laurent Prada Vivienne Westwood and Versace Chloé is the
eighth in a series of high-end cloth-bound books that offer an unrivalled overview of the
collections of the world's top fashion houses through original catwalk photography.
