Chloé - The Beginning of the Designer Brand
Chloé was founded in 1952 by Egyptian-French designer Gaby Aghion in Paris. Gaby Aghion wanted to create clothes that broke with the rigid standards of luxury fashion at the time, building a brand for the modern woman that offered relaxed yet luxurious clothing. Her goal was to create beautiful and comfortable pieces that were easy to access.
In 1956 Aghion launched her first collection for Chloé, which was quickly recognized. In the 1970s Chloé introduced its well known boho-chic style, celebrating a free and informal lifestyle through elegant, flowing dresses and ethnic details. Over the years Chloé has become known for setting trends in both fashion and accessories.
