Description: Founded by Egyptian-born Gaby Aghion in 1952, ChloA?© 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 ChloA?© work, before Stella McCartney (and her then assistant Phoebe Philo) succeeded him straight out of fashion school.

This definitive publication opens with a concise history of the house of ChloA?© before exploring the collections themselves, which are organized chronologically. Each new era in ChloA?©A?s 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.

After Chanel, Dior, Louis Vuitton, Yves Saint Laurent, Prada, Vivienne Westwood and Versace, ChloA?© is the eighth in a series of high-end, cloth-bound books that offer an unrivalled overview of the collections of the worldA?s top fashion houses through original catwalk photography.
