Chloe Clothes Section:

Sassy, sexy and ultra cool, Chloé is a paradox of both feminity and romance infused with a street-cred edge. She's fun, she's flirtatious, she's at the forefront of the scene. You've seen her around, she's a girl about town. Do you know who Chloé is?

Chloe was started as a ready-to-wear company in 1952, in France, by Jacques Lenoir and Gaby Aghion. Initially created with modernity, femininity and wearability in mind, the house established itself as an alternative to haute couture.

In 1961 Gerard Pipart and Christiane Bailly designed for the house and were shortly followed by Michele Rosier in 1963, Maxime Cliff, Graziella Fontana, Tan Giudicelli, and Carlos Rodriguez.

From 1965 to 1983, Karl Lagerfeld designed for the house of Chloe and proved very successful. The clothing was sold all over the world. He was assisted for several years by Herve Leger.  Lagerfeld was hailed in the 60's for his gypsy/hippie influenced slip dresses and blouses and his style called "le flou".

From 1984 to 1987, Frenchman Guy Paulin was the designer.

From 1987 to 1991, Martine Sitbon took over the designing. She wisely maintained Chloe's softly feminine classic shapes, but not without adding her own originality. Sitbon was a success at Chloé with her tailored suits, flowing ankle length chiffon skirts and trousers.

Karl Lagerfeld came back in 1992, staying till 1996. However critics were not impressed with what they viewed as a rehashing of past Chloe successes.

In 1997, Stella McCartney took on the position of Chief Designer at Chloe. She started in a blaze of publicity and her debut show combined here interest in antique touches like vintage lace and glass buttons, along with modern tailoring. The critics reviewed her collection favourably. She gave several successful collections for Chloe.

The Spring/Summer 2000 collection was another big hit with rhinestone cutwork around necks and bodices of gowns in various shapes.

In 2001, Stella McCartney left Chloe to start up her own label, with the backing of the house of Gucci.

Heterophobia ? addressing a controversial mannequin
Does the dominance of gay fashion designers suggest an endemic heterophobic propensity by the fashion illuminati which is manifest in its most insidious form by the pervasive tendency to corrupt the female body image by persisting with anorexic “de-feminised” models as a paradigm of perfection ultimately undermining the male/female synergy? … or perhaps the fashion [...]
