Chloe is founded in 1952 by Gaby Aghion, an Eqyptian-born
Parisienne with a dark beauty and a bohemian spirit.
Rejecting the stiff formality of the 50s fashion, she creates
soft, body concious clothes from fine fabrics and called them
luxury pret-a-porter.
Unique for their time, they are beautifully made clothes
available off the rack.
Chloe - A name they chose for its warm, feminine appeal - is
perfectly in synch with the new mood of Paris: Youthful abd modern
in design, and slightly audacious in spirit.
The label grows in popularity, and Gaby Aghion and Jacques
Lenoir initiate what will become the hallmark of the house: hiring
new, young talents to design the collections.
