Chloé is a French luxury fashion house founded in 1952 by Gaby Aghion. In 1953, Jacques Lenoir joined the brand. Lenoir managed the business side allowing Aghion to develop the creative growth of Chloé. The duo worked relentlessly in order to offer luxury prêt-à-porter (ready-to-wear), a new concept at that time to the fashion market. Karl Lagerfeld, Stella McCartney and Phoebe Philo have all worked at the creative helm of the Chloé brand.
Today, Gabriela Hearst is the creative catalyst for Chloé`s pretty, airy and sophisticated collection. Hearst is dedicated to reducing Chloé’s carbon footprint and working ethically to create a more sustainable high fashion future. The Uruguay-born designer succeeds Natacha Ramsay-Levi as the designer of the French luxury label and thus far has focused on hand-made and hand-finished garments. Hearst said she wants clients to think before they buy. She wants her customers to see her designs as family heirlooms or at least lifetime investments.
Chloé sunglasses are the perfect accessory to introduce as a family heirloom.
The 2021 collection features frame shapes that are fluid and lightweight, luminous and joyful.
