Gabriela Hearst has just presented her final Chloé fashion show, for spring-summer 2024. The designer joined as creative director three years ago, and few believed she could make ‘sustainable’ fashion look and feel as sophisticated as her newest collection, which once again highlights solutions against global warming. Following a season rooted in regeneration, another on clean energy, then female leadership, this time Gabriela Hearst explored the power of individual action as a form of defense of the environment. For the designer, reacting in a thoughtful and targeted manner is essential to climate success. To do this, she unveils a series of sophisticated silhouettes, in which themes of black and white, but also flowers, reign. Below, we provide a look back at everything you need to remember from Gabriela Hearst’s final Chloé show.
Flower Power
In winter, we typically opt for wild prints such as crocodile, leopard, or snake. When summer arrives, the patterns become colorful and rural. And Chloe understood this well. The house, which presented its new collection for spring-summer 2024, offers this season botanical-inspired creations surrounded with flowers. The collection enhances the beauty of the geometry of flowers via a white knit dress that frays in the form of fringes to resemble roots, the zygomorphic shapes of orchids which are reflected in the delicate and curved seams of the garments, or even ceramic and leather flowers that magnify a pristine knit dress.
Chromatic Range
Black and white may have dominated, but Gabriela Hearst decided to tint her wardrobe with colors reflecting clarity, with bursts of coral, orange, but also silver (which is also establishing itself as the key trend color of 2024). She also takes the opportunity to review and correct wardrobe essentials, including the trench coat which is infused with leather, the long coat which includes balloon sleeves, and the strapless dress which plays the bi card.
Samba Finale
As the last model was returning backstage, members of The Mangueira School in Rio, made up of musicians, dancers, singers and “porta-bandeira”, burst onto the podium, to the delight of the guests. It was in the creation of wrap dresses and standard cut-out dresses that Hearst most accomplished her final performance. Accompanied by cowboy coats and ponchos rooted in her Uruguayan rancher background, and leather tailoring that felt inspired by that same world, they painted a perfect picture of the fashion Hearst will be remembered for at Chloé. She closed the show with a samba performance, taking bow in dancing, celebratory fashion.
Star-Studded Front Row
From Venus Williams to America Ferrera to Olivia Wilde, many personalities came together to attend Gabriela Hearst’s last Chloé fashion show.
