ISBN: 9780300271188.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn exploration of fashion designer Gaby Aghion’s life, career, and legacy at the French fashion house Chloé\n\nAs imagined by the company’s founder, Gaby Aghion (1921–2014), the sophisticated, romantic, and glamorous designs of Chloé have captured the energy and aspirations of generations of women since Aghion designed her first collection in 1952. This sumptuously illustrated book centers Chloé and Aghion within the cultural arena and crystallizes 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.\n\nSeventy years of archival clothing from Chloé designers are reproduced here, many for the first time, along with sketches, advertisements, and photographs. Essays shed light on Aghion’s life, the company’s approach to fashion, and the ways in which 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.\n\nPublished in association with the Jewish Museum, New York\n\nExhibition Schedule:\n\nJewish Museum, New York\n(October 13, 2023–February 18, 2024)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Yale University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44946751520821,"sku":"ByrdShop_0300271182","price":51.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780300271188_466e7b91-8044-42ee-9124-f63454539636.jpg?v=1778877202","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/mood-of-the-moment-gaby-aghion-and-chloe-9780300271188","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
