Chloe Dubois
Contributing Editor, Style & Adornment
After a decade working as a trend forecaster for major fashion houses in Paris, Chloe grew disillusioned with the industry's relentless pace. She left to start 'Le Flâneur,' a celebrated newsletter on the history and culture of clothing, which led to a role as a contributing editor. Chloe's work champions a more thoughtful approach to style, focusing on the longevity of bespoke tailoring, the thrill of a vintage find, and the cultural significance of adornment. She is known for her sharp eye and even sharper wit, cutting through the hype to get to the heart of what makes an item truly stylish. Her book 'The Fabric of a Life' examines the role of clothing in memory and identity.
