An exploration of fashion designer Gaby Aghion’s life, career,
and legacy at the French fashion house Chloé  As imagined
by the company’s founder, Gaby Aghion (1921–2014), the
sophisticated, romantic, and glamorous designs of Chloé have
captured the energy and aspirations of generations of women since
Aghion designed her first collection in 1952. This sumptuously
illustrated book centers Chloé and Aghion within the cultural
arena and crystallizes a major transition in the postwar Parisian
fashion industry, from haute couture to prêt-à -porter.
Aghion defined Chloé as a brand of luxury ready-to-wear clothing
combining high-end materials and savoir faire with light shapes for
active women. Aghion, an Egyptian Jew in Paris, brought a fresh,
outsider perspective to French fashion. Â Seventy years of
archival clothing from Chloé designers are reproduced here, many
for the first time, along with sketches, advertisements, and
photographs. Essays shed light on Aghion’s life, the company’s
approach to fashion, and the ways in which it fostered young
talents. The book celebrates Aghion’s daring entrepreneurship and
her legacy through the acclaimed designers who embodied and
reinterpreted her original inspiration. Paulo Melim Andersson,
Gabriela Hearst, Clare Waight Keller, Karl Lagerfeld, Hanna
MacGibbon, Stella McCartney, Peter O’Brien, Phoebe Philo, Natacha
Ramsay-Levi, and Martine Sitbon offer recollections of their
experiences working at the fashion house. Â Published in
association with the Jewish Museum, New York  Exhibition
