About
The fashion house Chloe is known for unfettered garments made of effortless fabrics. While serving as the lead designer for the label, Karl Lagerfeld brought his own renowned understanding of fabric to this dress. A dimensional weave not only brings a subtle depth of hand to this crisp cotton pique, but it also affords the wearer a textured cooling sensation—perfect for a summer garment. True to the practicality espoused by the firm, hidden pockets are included in the otherwise slim shirtwaist silhouette.
