French fashion house Chloe announced Thursday that its creative director Gabriela Hearst, a strong voice for sustainable approaches to fashion, will be leaving the post after less than three years
“It has been the greatest privilege to share my creative vision and to add my voice to the story of Chloe, a remarkable Maison that I have always loved so dearly,” Hearst said in a statement.
Her final show for Chloe will be as part of Paris Fashion Week womenswear collections in September.
“I feel empowered and excited about the work done at Chloe and moreover, to leave a clear message that a woman can do it all and have fun while at it,” she added.
The Uruguay-born designer, 46, had a successful run with the French house.
But she was also still running her own label, which she established in New York prior to joining Chloe in 2020.
“Gabriela has brought great energy and a dynamic creative vision to her role at Chloe, contributing to a period of significant progress for the business, and writing a powerful new chapter in the story of our Maison,” Chloe CEO Riccardo Bellini said in a statement.
