The first comprehensive overview of Chloé Catwalk, presented through catwalk photography, published in collaboration with Chloé to celebrate the house's 70th anniversary in 2022.

With 2.5 million copies in print, each high-end, cloth-bound volume in the bestselling Catwalk series features over 1,100 looks as they originally appeared on the catwalk, styled as the designer intended and sported by the world's top models. These ten treasure troves of inspiration are must-have references for all fashion fans and professionals.

Founded by Egyptian-born Gaby Aghion in 1952, Chloé pioneered luxury ready-to-wear that was all about ease and femininity, offering an elegant haute bohemian style for the modern, liberated Parisienne. Resolutely contemporary, the house spotted and hired a young Karl Lagerfeld as early as the 1960s: he stayed for over two decades, achieving fame and recognition worldwide through his Chloé work, before Stella McCartney (and her then assistant Phoebe Philo) succeeded him straight out of fashion school.

This definitive publication opens with a concise history of the house of Chloé before exploring the collections themselves, which are organised chronologically. Each new era in Chloé's history opens with a brief overview and biography of the new designer, while individual collections are introduced by a short text unveiling their influences and highlights, and illustrated with carefully curated catwalk images. A rich reference section, including an extensive index, concludes the book.

After Chanel, Dior, Louis Vuitton, Yves Saint Laurent, Prada, Vivienne Westwood, and Versace, Chloé is the eighth in a series of high-end, cloth-bound books that offer an unrivalled overview of the collections of the world's top fashion houses through original catwalk photography.
