LOOKING FOR CHLOE
We are in Paris in the early 1950s, in the bustling post-war Saint-Germain-des-Prés.
A beautiful, sparkling young woman from Egypt, communist and emancipated, Gaby Aghion is about to revolutionise fashion by creating the house of Chloé.
While the world is still in Haute Couture, Christian Dior in his corsets, Gaby, a pioneer, chooses luxury ready-to-wear. 10 years before Saint-Laurent, she liberates women from their shackles. Soon, she discovers a “clumsy, awkward” young man who will become her right-hand man for 20 long years: Karl Lagerfeld.
