For Pre-Fall 2025, Chemena Kamali invites us into a softer, more personal rhythm of dressing—one that feels less like chasing fashion, and more like curating a lifelong companion in style. Her latest collection for Chloé is not about trend cycles or fast impact; it’s about longevity, emotional resonance, and the quiet joy of rediscovery.

Set against a quintessentially Parisian backdrop, the lookbook unfolds like an intimate portrait gallery. With a cast that includes Tish Weinstock, Petra Collins, and Ever Anderson, the images eschew polished perfection in favor of something more enduring: authenticity. Each woman wears her ensemble like a second skin—unforced, personal, and layered with meaning. This isn’t just styling; it’s storytelling.

Kamali’s vision continues to evolve with gentle confidence. Her signature romanticism is very much present, but it’s now tempered with grounded, utilitarian flourishes. Delicate slip dresses in muted pastels and sheer reworked lace are balanced by robust outerwear: a vintage-washed leather car coat in aged teal, a liquid silk bomber, and a long embroidered coat that nods to folkloric nostalgia without ever feeling costume-y.

Outerwear is where Kamali expands her vocabulary most visibly. From a cropped tapestry jacket that channels old-world elegance to a double-breasted check blazer tailored with modern softness, she shows that Chloé’s femininity isn’t fragile—it’s layered, resilient, and always evolving. Shearling, already teased on the Fall 2025 runway, appears here in playful trims, hinting at a growing house code.

Jewelry styling weaves through eras, evoking an eclectic pastiche that only heightens the collection’s feeling of timelessness. Altogether, the mood is one of lived-in elegance: clothes that move with their wearer, age with grace, and resurface in moments of unexpected inspiration.

More than a collection, Chloé Pre-Fall 2025 is a meditation on emotional dressing. It champions the idea that the best wardrobes are not made in haste—but in layers, in time, and in love. Kamali continues to articulate this philosophy with increasing eloquence, positioning Chloé as a house that values presence over presentation, permanence over performance.
