Karl Lagerfeld-era Chloé is one of the hardest fashion finds to come by.
“Lagerfeld-era Chloé is a great investment because it tends to be hard to come by,” Brynn Jones, founder of. “When you are able to get your hands on any of those pieces, you’re blessed with a beautifully made historical garment.”
The designer’s early pieces at Chloé—which marked his first foray into ready-to-wear—are among the most rare. “His work from the late 1960s and early 1970s shows how well he works with prints,” Lauren Lepire, founder ofChloé spring/summer 1986.Along with his flair for print, Lagerfeld’s surrealist influences were on full display during his time at Chloé.
The designer’s spring 1985 collection, entitled “A Homage to Dressmaking”, is also worth noting. “It really speaks to me for his ability to mix sophistication with a whimsical air,” Lepire says. “In this collection, he pays respect to the women who sew the clothes he and other designers envision.

One major selling point for Lagerfeld’s Chloé is how easy-to-wear so many of the pieces are, even today. “Karl was the first to do wearable print day dresses for Chloé, which people should look for as an investment piece,” Sabrina Marshall, co-founder ofWhile the designer’s time at Chloé may have been largely overshadowed by his legacy at Chanel, it’s arguably what makes these pieces so special.
