Chloé’s Paris Fashion Week Show Already Has Us Dreaming of Summer

In just a season, Chloé creative director Chemena Kamali has shifted the paradigm of what style can look like. The nouveau-boho movement that’s currently afoot can largely be attributed to her, along with the return of hobo bags and ’70s wedges. So naturally, all eyes were on what she’d unveil today at Paris Fashion Week.
“I wanted to capture that longing for summer and the way summer makes you feel,” said Kamali of her summer 2025 collection, which drew Sienna Miller and Liya Kebede front row. Dubbed the “Freedom Collection,” it included wispy, angelic guipure lace that radiated sensuality, tiered dresses, bubble skirts, and babydoll frocks. In her show notes, Kamali said that she wanted the fabrics and colors to look sun-faded, almost as though they’d been on a summer vacation of their own.
Having logged significant time at the house prior to her creative director appointment, Kamali knows her Chloé history, and she’s a genius at panning the archives for current-day gold. There were well-cut jackets in sherbet hues that were based on the lines of the house’s flou blouse, ’70s-style trousers, and crocheted pieces—plus a few wild-card items, like a bathing suit emblazoned with a flamingo, an oversized gold shell belt, and whimsical bloomers (perhaps this season’s most unexpected trend). A 1977 piece of art inspired the rich floral prints that adorned a series of dresses, pants, and swimwear.
And, unsurprisingly, the accessories were a standout. The mix of shell and stone jewelry felt like pieces from someone’s personal collection, while raffia bags and jelly flats screamed summer. Our only complaint is that we’ll have to wait so long to wear them.
