Both edgy and feminine, Chloe's clothes and accessories are for women who dress and live on the cutting edge. The French design house resides in Paris and has been making luxurious ready to wear fashion for women since 1956. With top designers such as Karl Lagerfeld, Martine Sitbon and Stella McCartney as alumni, Chloe has established itself as one of the world's top design houses.
When Stella McCartney joined Chloe in 1997, she brought with her a "new classic" feel and blended it with the edgy Chloe chic to create a modern and exciting collection. This marked the reinvention and renewal of the design house, which landed the Chloe name on the lips of everyone in the fashion world. As well as bringing her "new classic" feel to Chloe, Miss McCartney brought her assistant Phoebe Philo, whose rock-n-roll sensibilities helped Stella revamp the Chloe style. In 2001, the one time assistant Phoebe Philo stepped into Stella McCartney's shoes as creative director at Chloe.
Phoebe Philo brings her own brand of street sass to the Chloe label. Phoebe arrived at Chloe as a relatively unknown assistant designer with her close friend and mentor Stella McCartney. The fashion industry was surprised that such a newcomer would be named to the creative director position of a well established name like Chloe. The 27-year-old, out from behind her big name friend Stella, took to the creative director job naturally. Philo has stood the test of time, and launched the new See Chloe collection as a more casual and less expensive collection.
