Chloe
Gaby Aghion started Chloe in 1952 with a vision she called "luxury pret-a-porter." Her focus on wearable yet beautiful daywear gave the line currency with chic young women. In the seventies, its bohemian, feminine details made it a favorite of icons like Grace Kelly, Brigitte Bardot, and Jackie O. Chloe is known for launching the careers of young designers, including a 28-year-old Karl Lagerfeld in 1966 and a 26-year-old Stella McCartney in 1997. Today, the label is helmed by London native Hannah MacGibbon, a former assistant to Phoebe Philo, the house's seminal director from 2001-2006. Bags and shoes continue to rank among Chloe's most coveted wares. The brand's romantic Left Bank insouciance burns brightly despite-or perhaps because of-its rapidly revolving roster of young design talent.
