Its designs have graced the wardrobes of the rich and famous for over six decades and now, to celebrate 60 years at the top, an exhibition dedicated to Chlo is coming to Selfridges.
The iconic London store will host an installation next month as part of the French fashion house's anniversary celebrations, which will feature a series of vintage pieces from the Chlo archives and videos of the label's most memorable fashion shows.
From 1 March to 31 March the Concept Store on the ground floor will be transformed and, as well as the installation, the label has reissued 16 key pieces from its past as part of its commemorative Edition Anniversaire collection.

'Reflecting on Chlo's incredible accomplishments and contribution to the world of style is a must for! followers of fashion, and we're delighted to showcase that within our store.'
