For her resort 2027 collection for Chloé, Chemena Kamali turned to the archives – but not those of Gaby Aghion or Karl Lagerfeld. Instead, she looked to the late 1990s, when Stella McCartney arrived at the house with an unprecedented sense of youthful confidence. Back then, the British designer transformed Chloé into the go-to destination for women seeking a great Savile Row–esque suit that could just as easily be thrown over a frivolous lingerie top. The echoes of that masculine-feminine flirtation are back, and it’s hard not to fall for the lacey dresses, satin jackets, and ballet skirts, which never veer into saccharine territory because they’re grounded by washed denim, robust furs, vintage-inspired hardware, and sharp, down-to-business tailoring. Kamali’s work carries a natural feminine energy that’s perfectly in tune with Chloé’s enduring charm, and it makes you want to be that girl – no matter the season.
