Gaby Aghion, a Parisian of Egyptian origin, founded Chloé in 1952. The name“Chloe” was chosen for its warm and feminine appeal. The label grows in popularity.
In 1966, Karl Lagerfeld becomes the house's head designer, and under his direction Chloé becomes one of the most iconic fashion brands of the 1970's.
In the 80's, a series of talented designers including Martine Sitbon keeps the collections fresh and ever changing, whilst reiterating Chloé. After the Richemont Group buys the house in 1985, its notoriety grows around the globe.
In 1997, Stella McCartney reinvents Chloé.
In 2001, Phoebe Philo continues the Chloé legacy.
2008, Hannah Macgibbon is named creative director. She brings her overall creative vision to the brand through femininity and sophistication using neutral tones, camels, taupes and army greens, with some copper metallic, white muslin and black velvet thrown in for good measure.
