Poking around the Chloé campaign archives over on TFS, I started getting all nostalgic over my earliest encounters with the label. I remember while pouring through beat up, third-hand copies of Vogue and W in high school art class looking for photos to tear out or to draw from it was always a little thrill to come upon a Chloé ad. They were just so beautiful and nostalgic in precisely the way I so wanted to emulate--then and now.
This last one is actually an ad from 1987. I really want to see more vintage Chloé pieces and images, especially the 70's Karl-era stuff. I imagine that some of it is probably pretty awful...and that I'll probably secretly like it anyways.
Its nice to see those images again! :)

No matter how old they are, Chloe ads are always beautiful :)
ReplyDeletei love the last one, so cool!
ReplyDeletei love the 'hair in motion' that many of these ads illustrate. those spring '05 ones especially. messy blonde hair all over the place. my hair is now past my boobs, i just noticed today. i propose we braid our hair into a singular plait sometime, while singing cyndi lauper's "true colors" to eachother. too much?
ReplyDeleteDewd this is totally us!1!!1!
ReplyDeletethe pictures ive seen of gaby aghion's first show at cafe de flore are beautiful. I think instyle did a little slideshow of "chloe" from from the beginning. its kind of cool.
ReplyDeleteDoes it get any cooler than Chloe? I think not. Love!
ReplyDeleteI love, love, love everything about Chloé, the ads is no exception and I made a post about them an awful long time ago, here´s the link if anyone cares http://tarteaucitrone.blogspot.com/2009/02/chloe-4-ever.html
ReplyDeleteI´ve also been on the lookout for 70´s Chloé, seems hard to find, please do post if you find any decent pictures!
wow, these are making me want to poke around that forum too! I have always loved their ads and ripped them out, only for them to end up in the pile of other ripped out inspirations. thanks for making me aware of a digital way to archive beauty!
