“Mood of the Moment: Gaby Aghion and the House of Chloé” seeks to rectify both oversights, while introducing its founder, and her connection to her own Jewish identity, to the broader public.īorn Gabrielle Hanoka in Alexandria in 1921, Aghion moved to Paris in 1945, after her marriage to Raymond Aghion, and opened Chloé - named for a friend - in 1952, at a time when designer-dictated couture (made-to-order clothes for the elite) still dominated the French fashion scene, and Jewish roots were kept relatively quiet. For only the second time in its almost 120 years, the Jewish Museum is holding a fashion exhibition - and it is the first in New York dedicated to Chloé, the French ready-to-wear brand founded in 1952 by the Egyptian-born designer Gaby Aghion.
