Chloé Catwalk Book

The first comprehensive overview of Chloé's collections presented through catwalk photography, published in collaboration with Chloé to celebrate the fashion house's 70th anniversary in 2022.

Chloé was founded by Egyptian-born Gaby Aghion in 1952 and was a pioneer in luxurious ready-to-wear that focused on simplicity and femininity, offering an elegant haute bohemian style for the modern, liberated Parisian.

The fashion house, deeply rooted in its time, discovered and employed a young Karl Lagerfeld already in the 1960s: he stayed for over two decades, achieving fame and recognition worldwide through his work for Chloé, before Stella McCartney (and her then-assistant Phoebe Philo) took over directly from fashion school.

This definitive publication begins with a concise history of Chloé before exploring the collections in chronological order. Each new era in Chloé's history starts with a brief overview and biography of the new designer, while individual collections are presented with a short text revealing their influences and highlights, illustrated with carefully selected catwalk images. A rich reference section, including a comprehensive index, concludes the book. A high-quality, fabric-bound book offering an unparalleled overview of one of the world's leading fashion houses' collections through original catwalk photography.
