Gabriela Hearst Departs Chloé, Fendi Show to Follow

Gabriela Hearst is leaving Chloé after a three-year tenure as the creative director of the French fashion house. Chloé had been positioning itself as a beacon of sustainable fashion, and the combination of Hearst and Chloé seemed like a good match due to Hearst's focus on transparency and sustainability. However, rumors of their separation had been circulating, possibly due to the pressures of Hearst's trans-Atlantic schedule. Chloé's next creative director may be Chemena Kamali, a former design director for Saint Laurent. It remains to be seen whether Chloé will continue its investments in responsible fashion or take a new direction.
