Ilaria ORSINI c/o BIRD PRODUCTION photographed CHLOÉ S/S ‘25 for Creative Director Chemena Kamali.
Chemena Kamali was born in Germany in 1981 and completed a Master of Arts in Fashion at Central Saint Martin's University of the Arts in London under Professor Louise Wilson. She graduated with distinction in 2007. The highly accomplished German designer looks back on two decades of experience, including a long tenure at Chloé.
Her career at CHLOÉ began as an intern on Phoebe Philo's team. In 2012, she joined Clare Waight Keller as design director. Since 2016, she has been design director of women’s ready-to-wear for Anthony Vaccarello at Saint Laurent..
The appointment of Chemena Kamali as the new Creative Director of Chloé marks a meaningful return for her: “My heart has always beaten for Chloé. Ever since I stepped through the door over 20 years ago. Coming back feels natural and very personal. It is a great honor to take on this role and build upon the vision which Gaby Aghion and Karl Lagerfeld defined in the early history of the Maison.. I hope to capture the emotional connection and spirit of Chloé for today.” Chemena Kamali, Creative Director of Chloé.
Chemena Kamali presented her first pre-collection for Chloé in Paris in January 2024, followed by her Fall/Winter 2024 collection during Paris Fashion Week in February 2024.
Headquartered in Paris, Chloé is part of the Swiss luxury goods group Richemont. Company founder Gaby Aghion is considered the inventor of prêt-à-porter clothing, having introduced her first collections in the 1950s.
