This month, the most fashionable exhibition of them all is launching in Paris. French fashion house Chloé is marking its 60th anniversary by displaying a range of archive pieces at the Palais de Tokyo.
A celebration of its 
heritage, the exhibition is titled ‘Chloé. Attitudes’ will run from September 28 until November 20. Included will be 70 pieces displaying the different styles, trends and fabrics that Chloé has contributed to fashion culture over the years. Since 1952, its legacy of luxury prêt-à-porter clothing has consistently defined how modern women live.
Also on display will be a contemporary capsule collection including 16 iconic pieces from each of Chloé’s nine designers. Signature pieces will be featured — from the Maison’s progressive founder Gaby Aghion, to its present creative director Clare Waight Keller.
The show aims to be neither nostalgic nor chronological; instead it takes a thematic path through the very best of Chloé’s creativity, pausing at key moments within its history. Iconic looks are presented alongside lesser-known yet equally influential designs. Most importantly, all are on display to the public for the very first time.
The exhibition is presented as part of the autumn 2012 season of the Palais de Tokyo “imagine the imaginary,” which explores the artist’s creative process from thought to creation. This theme is at the very heart of the Chloé. Attitudes concept.
The exhibition presents the way in which la Maison Chloé has created an identifiable aesthetic and allure that has influenced women’s fashion. The programme is a fitting context for a 60th anniversary of Chloé that celebrates modern femininity. The gallery’s rough, concrete walls are the perfect foil for the sensual showcase inside.
One not to be missed!
