Chloé Spring 2026 Puts Couture Techniques Into Cotton Florals in Paris

Reviews say Chemena Kamali’s focus clarifies the house’s heritage.

Overview

  • On Oct. 5 at Paris Fashion Week, Kamali unveiled a lineup built on bright vintage-style flower prints, ruched and pleated into sculptural shapes.
  • Kamali described the concept as how a Chloé woman would wear couture today—“in cotton” and “without the lining.”
  • 3D flou draping and smocking delivered baby-doll dresses, sculpted tops and dropped hems that nodded to founder Gaby Aghion and Karl Lagerfeld’s archive.
  • Strong shoulders, funnel‑neck outerwear and high‑waisted skinny pants brought an ’80s edge that some critics said risked weighing down Chloé’s lightness.
  • A high‑profile front row included Claudia Schiffer, Alexa Chung, Liv Tyler, Georgia May Jagger, Rita Ora and Aimee Lou Wood.
