Founded in Paris in 1952 by Egyptian-born Gaby Aghion, Chloé has always represented a freewheeling bohemian spirit. In the seventies, the stylish likes of Jackie O and Brigitte Bardot all shopped chez Chloé, a tradition that continues with today’s hipsters such as Sienna Miller and Kate Moss. The label’s lure resides in its effortless mix of street chic—influenced by London’s girls about town—and luxe. For several seasons, owning a Chloé bag, like the Paddington, has served as a barometer of how stylish someone is.Currently, the house is searching for a successor to its most recent head, Phoebe Philo, who left last year to spend more time with her family. Her interim replacement, Yvan Mispelaere, recently exited to head up Gucci. But Chloé has one of the best pedigrees of any label. Previous designers have included Karl Lagerfeld (twice), Martine Sitbon, and Stella McCartney. Sorry if I dropped some Knowledge on Ya!
