Chloé fashion show: the return of the cult Paddington bag

For her new collection, Chemena Kamali sublimates Chloé’s heritage by reinterpreting her bohemian style and resurrecting the iconic Paddington bag.

On March 6, in the intimate atmosphere of the Tennis Club de Paris, Chloé unveiled its Autumn-Winter 2025-2026 show to a hand-picked audience. With an assertive vision, Chemena Kamali reinterprets the house’s bohemian DNA through steamy silhouettes and romantic femininity, inspired by a reinvented past.

Nostalgic, flowing fashion

The collection celebrates the plurality of feminine influences, drawing in particular from the 1970s. We find flowing skirts with wide belts, lace dresses worn casually, embroidered officer’s jackets revisited, quilted coats and denim or leather pants. The ensemble is adorned with organic hues and sensual materials, embodying a free, modern femininity.

The attitude is effortless, blending heritage and modernity, a signature that anchors Chemana Kamali as a worthy heir to the Chloé style.

The return of an iconic bag: the Paddington

Knowing how to create envy around accessories is a talent that Chloé masters to perfection. Following on from the success of her Bracelet bag, Chemena Kamali hits even harder with a reissue of the mythical Paddington, which appeared in 2004 under the impetus of Phoebe Philo.

Worn at the time by Kate Moss and all the It-girls, this cult bag returns in a new form, with grained leathers in brown, burgundy and blue/gray hues. It retains its emblematic padlock, while being adorned with Kamali’s signature modern charms.

With this faithful yet contemporary reinterpretation, Chloé is poised to captivate a new generation of fashionistas, confirming once again its status as atimeless icon of bohemian chic.
