This sumptuously illustrated book focuses on Chloé and Aghion within the cultural arena, crystallising a major transition in the postwar Parisian fashion industry from haute couture to prêt-à-porter. Aghion defined Chloé as a brand of luxury ready-to-wear clothing, combining high-end materials and savoir-faire with light shapes for active women. Aghion, an Egyptian Jew in Paris, brought a fresh, outsider perspective to French fashion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSeventy years of archival clothing from Chloé designers are reproduced here, many for the first time, along with sketches, advertisements, and photographs. Essays provide insight into Aghion’s life, the company’s approach to fashion, and how it fostered young talents. The book celebrates Aghion’s daring entrepreneurship and her legacy through the acclaimed designers who embodied and reinterpreted her original inspiration. Paulo Melim Andersson, Gabriela Hearst, Clare Waight Keller, Karl Lagerfeld, Hanna MacGibbon, Stella McCartney, Peter O’Brien, Phoebe Philo, Natacha Ramsay-Levi, and Martine Sitbon offer recollections of their experiences working at the fashion house.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePublished in association with the Jewish Museum, New York\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExhibition Schedule:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJewish Museum, New York\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n(October 13, 2023–February 18, 2024)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47425968898284,"sku":"9780300271188","price":119.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780300271188.jpg?v=1774768047","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/mood-of-the-moment-9780300271188","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
