The rumours were true: after three transformational years at Chloé, Gabriela Hearst is stepping down as its creative director, the brand has confirmed. Her last collection will be for Spring/Summer 2024, presented during Paris Fashion Week on 28 September. The Uruguayan designer presented her first collection for Richemont-owned Chloé in March 2021, carrying over her sustainability ethos from her namesake brand. At Chloé, her focus on sustainability — supported by president and CEO Riccardo Bellini — has borne fruit. The company achieved B Corp status in October 2021, introduced a social impact measurement tool in 2022, and launched a resale programme using digital IDs for improved transparency in 2023.
