Chloé's Chemena Kamali Fêtes Spring Collection at Lapérouse with Cynthia Erivo, Claire Danes, and Apple Martin
On the morning of October 2 in Paris, Chemena Kamali presented her spring line for Chloé and later hosted a dinner at Lapérouse, drawing a varied crowd. Cynthia Erivo, who started in a bohemian black skirt and printed purple jacket, switched to a teal plaid silk chiffon outfit for the dinner. She praised Kamali's use of broderie anglaise, especially a gown featuring a black harness neckline. Kamali noted that the eyelet embroidery held personal significance, linking it to Chloé’s past designs. Claire Danes, attending her first Chloé show, called the collection "deeply feminine, yet steeped in strength." The dinner featured dishes like foie gras and chocolate soufflé, with K-pop star Anna Tanaka seated near Jorja Smith. Kamali told Vogue she aimed for the collection to evoke "freedom and emotion."
