Chloé has enlisted Uruguayan fashion designer Gabriela Hearst as its new Creative Director, taking over from Natacha Ramsay-Levi, who announced her departure from the Paris fashion house last week.

The brand's CEO, Riccardo Bellini, said of the appointment 'It is with great pleasure that I welcome Gabriela Hearst to our Maison. I have always admired her vibrant creative energy and exquisite sense of quality and craft. Her powerful vision of more responsible fashion truly embodies the values and sense of commitment of today's Chloé women.... Together, we share the conviction that we all have a responsibility to actively participate in the shaping of a sustainable future and look forward to jointly pushing Chloé to new heights'.
