Paris Fashion Week | Chloé Spring-Summer 2022

This season, French luxury fashion house Chloé made it its mission to value the relationship between consumers and local producers, by expanding the number of products that are handcrafted by independent artisans. The initiative, aptly named Chloé Craft, also aims to incorporate more recycled and lower impact materials, while preserving its signature standard of quality.

The latest collection offers dresses adorned with dead-stock jewelry findings, cashmere pieces hand painted with vegetable-based dye, naturally sourced gemstone and even up-cycled pieces of fabric from previous collections. 

Chloé’s initiatives also include a collaboration with social enterprise Ocean Sole on the new Chloé Lou shoe line, as well as continuing its 15-year-long partnership with Akanjo, a World Fair Trade Organization guaranteed member out of Madagascar. 

The show itself was also committed to reducing environmental impact. Guests sat on cushions made from Chloé fabric remnants. Leftovers from catering were donated to a Paris-based NGO. Even the show seating was created in collaboration with Les Bâtisseuses—a network that trains women refugees in ecological construction as a means of better integrating them into society.
