The Chloé story
A Paris house that helped invent luxury ready-to-wear, founded by a woman who wanted clothes she could actually live in.
Paris, 1952. Egyptian-born Gaby Aghion founded Chloé to make soft, body-conscious clothes as an alternative to stiff couture.
Ready-to-wear, made luxe. Aghion is widely credited with helping coin prêt-à-porter, French for ready-to-wear, as a high-fashion idea.
