Chloé wool crepe halter dress & coat, c.1985
The top-line ready-to-wear house of Chloé has been described as luxurious, romantic, and quintessentially French. This marvelous ensemble is an excellent example of the Chloé style. I love the pairing of a classical tailored coat with a sexy, flirty, bias-cut halter dress: refined ladylike styling together with a bombshell dress covers all the bases!
The ensemble is fashioned from lightweight black wool crepe. The wrap-around bias-cut dress is unlined, allowing it to mold to the figure. The dress has long ties, which are tailored. The coat, lined with black China silk, features set-in front pockets. The coat closes in front with portrait buttons.
The coat was originally owned by a New York lady who appreciated cutting-edge design. The labels in the the coat and dress read "Made in France/Chloé."

1970s Chloe Topstitched Brown Leather Belt
Vintage Chloe is the softer, more humble side of Karl Lagerfeld. A designer with the ability to take on any sort of vibe the house needs him to have, it's hard to imagine he has such a larger than life persona when you see some of his more feminine things. A wonderfully simple milk chocolate brown leather belt with cream topstitching and an elongated slide buckle.

Chloe by Lagerfeld
This early 80s, black mini with exaggerated silver lame detailing on the shoulders and arms is such a fun piece.

Karl Lagerfeld's designs for Chloe in the 70s helped establish this house as a go-to for the glam and jet set. This nude halter gown with bugle bead on crepe also has a deco looking swag belt and a very convenient wrap.
