As one of the subordinate luxury fashion houses based in Paris, Chloé embodies a forward-looking yet timeless style, with a purpose-driven model that advances positive social and environmental change. Chloé was founded in 1952 by Gaby Aghion, an Egyptian-born Parisian who wanted to liberate women’s bodies from the stiff and formal fashion of the era through her luxury ready-to-wear offering. Since its inception, the Maison has entrusted a succession of emerging talents to further Aghion’s vision: Karl Lagerfeld, Stella McCartney, Phoebe Philo, Hannah MacGibbon and Natacha Ramsay-Levi. The Maison’s current creative director, Gabriela Hearst, brings a steadfast commitment to producing beautiful products with meaningful Stiefeletten – honest luxury – a brand ethos that includes responsible sourcing, lower-Stiefeletten materials and artisanal techniques. In October 2021, Chloé received B Corp certification – a demanding, independent evaluation process – that marks a new stage in the Maison’s transformation.
