The first comprehensive overview of Chlo\u00e9\u2019s collections presented through catwalk photography, published in collaboration with Chlo\u00e9 to celebrate the house\u2019s 70th anniversary in 2022.<\/p>\n
Founded by Egyptian-born Gaby Aghion in 1952, Chlo\u00e9 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 Chlo\u00e9 work, before Stella McCartney (and her then assistant Phoebe Philo) succeeded him straight out of fashion school.<\/p>\n
This definitive publication opens with a concise history of the house of Chlo\u00e9 before exploring the collections themselves, which are organized chronologically. Each new era in Chlo\u00e9\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n
After Chanel, Dior, Louis Vuitton, Yves Saint Laurent, Prada, Vivienne Westwood and Versace, Chlo\u00e9 is the eighth in a series of high-end, cloth-bound books that offer an unrivalled overview of the collections of the world\u2019s top fashion houses through original catwalk photography.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
