“The choice to showcase the collection within one of UNESCO’s conference rooms was both intentional and profoundly significant,” Kamali noted. “This postmodern venue was inspired by the same era as Chloé’s initial steps and reflects the brand’s ethos of innovation and transformation. It represents a place for dialogue, transparency, and the unrestricted sharing of ideas—a sanctuary for creativity in every form.”
Following the show, attendees were escorted upstairs to a stunning top-floor area offering breathtaking views of the city, where the Eiffel Tower sparkled like a jewel against the backdrop of the night sky. “Celebrating just above the stage felt remarkably poetic,” Kamali reflected, “a gesture that further embodied the evening’s symbolism—a homage to Chloé’s Parisian heritage, its artistic community, and the enchantment it embodies.”
The space was adorned in sumptuous dark-red velvet, creating an atmosphere of drama while encasing guests in a luxurious embrace. Before taking their seats for dinner, guests—including Rita Ora, Chloe Wise, Neneh Cherry, Liv Tyler, and Claudia Schiffer—mingled with champagne cocktails, exchanging thoughts on the collection, and some even mentioned they had already placed their orders.
Pat Cleveland, the iconic model with a keen eye for fashion excellence, expressed her delight in the collection’s joyful nature, whimsical elements, and the gentle confidence Kamali exhibits in reimagining the brand’s history. “I’ve always appreciated how she plays with shapes and coats,” she remarked. “I can easily lose myself in them as if I were in a personal sanctuary.”
This season, Kamali focused on a different perspective of Chloé. “I aimed to investigate the meaning of couture within its frame,” she stated. “It presents a captivating contradiction for a house established on the ideals of democratic liberation and comfort.” This exploration infused a fresh, unique twist into the collection—something actress Molly Gordon praised enthusiastically. “It’s such a lively and multifaceted interpretation of femininity: you can embody sexy, powerful, or even a touch playful. There’s truly something for every woman,” she shared, noting her favorite piece: a cream satin romper with a plunging V-neck and ruffled trim paired with bloomer-style shorts—“I’m absolutely obsessed,” she confessed.
