Paris Fashion Week | Chloé brings back the lightness of summer

(Paris) German artistic director Chemena Kamali once again called upon the brand’s fundamentals for her second show at Chloé: light blouses, twirling dresses, evanescence and floral prints.

In the Parisian greyness and the improbable alignment of wool coats and suits, for collections supposed to be worn next summer, Chloé has brought back a bit of Indian summer.

“A lingerie feel emerges from the collection, mixed with soft summery clothing cuts and the play of proportions,” explains the designer in her note.

A find, in lace corsairs tied at the ankles like sarouel pants in very delicate guipure, came in black, beige and white to the “ahhh” of the fashionistas present.

Chloé’s summer wardrobe for 2025 has a very 1970s feel, from the unconditional ruffled blouse to thicker denim or leather jackets, unique in their pleated backs.

The palette remained in powdery and pastel tones, apricot, beige and white as if faded in the sun in the house codes, with a few bold touches, like a peony dress.

Following Gabriela Hearst’s departure as artistic director of Chloé, Chemena Kamali, a German-born designer trained at the prestigious Central Saint Martins in London, was poached from Saint Laurent and appointed by the parent company, the conglomerate Richemont, in October 2023.

Her debut collection in February was a success, with her floaty dresses selling like hotcakes on red carpets around the world.

In addition, American Democratic candidate Kamala Harris also chose the European house for her outfit at the Democratic convention last August. Not a transparent blouse, but a wise plum suit.
