Sometimes I really can’t believe my luck.  Every time I find Chloe, which isn’t often enough, I rejoice in the most modest way (I keep thrifting)…. Yes finding Chloe is so rewarding, finding vintage Chloe is ecstasy.  This isn’t vintage but it Shirley will do.  Chloewas founded in 1952 by Gaby Aghion, an Egyptian-born Parisienne with a dark beauty and a bohemian spirit.  Rejecting the stiff formality of the 50′s fashion, she creates soft, body conscious clothes from fine fabrics and called them “luxury pret-a-porter”.  ”Chloe” – a name that was chosen for its warm, feminine appeal – is perfectly in synch with the new mood of Paris : youthful and modern in design.  Karl Lagerfeld, Martine Sitbon, Stella McCartney, Phoebe Philo , Hannah Mac Gibbon have all designed for this brand.  Clare Waight Keller is the creative director now.  Today, just like Grace Kelly & Maria Callas did before them, young stars like Kirsten Dunst & Jessica Alba fall in love with the soft elegance of the French house.  Could you blame them???  NO.  So remember me telling you that its rewarding to find Chloe but I continue shopping?  Good thing I did because I soon found these Marc by Marc Jacobs shorts and the two of them couldn’t be any more complimentary …  Both are modern, both are fresh and both are instant classics.  Timeless.  I’m your luxury curator!
