Founded in 1952 by Gaby Aghion, Chloé is now one of the most famous, iconic French fashion Houses and, as its current artistic director, Clare Waight Keller, says : " Chloé always knew how to represent the romantic femininity, but, more than this, it also has a really urban spirit. " For its Autumn/Winter 2015-2016 fashion show at Grand Palais in Paris, the fashion house has opened its backstage to CNN's Isa Soares.

Succeeding big names as Karl Lagerfeld, Stella McCartney and Phoebe Philo, Clare Waight Keller, the current artistic director for the brand, compares her work to Karl and Stella's ones : " At the end of the 70's, Karl has his own style marked by cheerfulness and surrealism. Stella was more British and Rock'N'Roll. Me, I'm bringing a modern side with a touch of realism. From England, I'm bringing this urban casual spirit and mix it with the perfection of French culture and traditions. "

In Chloé's atelier, alchemy happens thanks to French artisans giving birth to fashion masterpieces. The Autumn/Winter 2015-2016 collection is beautiful, romantic with flowers prints inspired by Clare's trips and discoveries especially in London and Miami. The Florida city is " a fantastic mix between things from South America and North America " : a bizarre eclectic mix in short.
