After years of delays due to construction, Chloé finally opened the doors of its swanky new L.A. outpost on Melrose Place yesterday.

经过多年的拖延是由于建造，克洛艾终于敞开了大门的高档新洛杉矶前哨梅尔罗斯昨天举行。白色壁商店-这感觉更像一个通风排屋比零售商店-特色庭院，贵宾区，巨大的天窗和落地窗户。


克洛艾: 第一家豪华成衣店

“之前，克洛艾的推出，豪华时装公司只有不断生产高级时装（即作出衡量）的衣服。这是罚款的少数谁能够负担，但它留下每个人都经常不好的发言稿，所提供的当地裁缝。

克洛艾的造物主，盖比阿洪，拒绝了激烈手续的1950年时装（和遥感中的一个空白市场） ，决定建立一个行了机架，高品质，柔软，身体意识的罚款面料的衣服，她所谓'豪华成衣波特' ，因此，成衣波特（成衣）市场，我们知道今天，诞生了。

该couturiers迅速跟进（首先是纪梵希，其1956年的成衣收集; '纪梵希大学' ） ，今天，设计师成衣重超过时装。 “

The first house of luxury ready-to-wear

"Prior to Chloé's launch, luxury fashion houses had only ever produced Haute Couture (i.e. made-to-measure) clothing. This was fine for the few who could afford it, but it left everyone else in frequently poorly-made copies, supplied by the local seamstress.

Chloé's creator, Gaby Aghion, rejecting the stiff formality of 1950s fashion (and sensing a gap in the market), decided to create a line of off the rack, high quality, soft, body conscious clothes from fine fabrics, which she called 'luxury prêt-à-porter' and thus, the Prêt-à-Porter (Ready-To-Wear) market we know today, was born.

The couturiers quickly followed suit (the first being Givenchy, with their 1956 Ready-to-Wear collection; 'Givenchy University') and today, designer ready-to-wear heavily outweighs couture."
