Chloé Spring 2026: ‘Female Vertigo’ Redefines Femininity Through Cinema and Fashion

Chloé reinvents femininity in its Spring 2026 collection, blending 1980s cinema, contemporary fashion, and powerful visual storytelling.

The French maison Chloé presents ‘Female Vertigo’, its Spring 2026 collection—an audacious proposal that transforms the way we understand femininity in modern fashion. Drawing inspiration from 1980s film and photography, this collection not only pays homage to a bold visual aesthetic, but interrogates and reconstructs it through design.

‘Female Vertigo’ begins with two opposing perspectives that shaped an era: the dominant male gaze of noir thrillers and the more intimate, authentic vision offered by creators such as photographer Sybille Mallmann and filmmaker Bette Gordon. The result is a complex visual narrative that blends bold structure with fluidity, sensuality with introspection, and nostalgia with critique.

The garments showcase contrasting silhouettes, alternating between blazers with architectural cuts and light dresses that follow the body without exaggerating its shape. The choice of fabrics and colours reinforces this dialogue between strength and subtlety: materials that hold their form in motion, and tones that range from cinematic red to Berlin grey. Each design speaks to the power of duality—a woman who is both the protagonist and the director of her story.

The visual language of the campaign, photographed by Johnny Dufort, features not only actress Lily McInerny, but also emerging voices from the international modelling scene. Rather than telling a single, unified story, the campaign opts for multiple faces, each expressing their own sense of identity, desire, and presence. Femininity, far from being a fixed image, becomes an open field for interpretation.

With this collection, Chloé achieves a fusion of the cinematic and the everyday—a fashion that doesn’t just aim for spectacle but questions its very structure. Rather than replicating aesthetics of the past, Female Vertigo deconstructs them to offer a renewed, critical, and deeply contemporary vision.

Available from November 2025 in selected boutiques and at chloe.com, this collection is more than a seasonal proposal—it’s an invitation to explore new ways of seeing, dressing, and inhabiting femininity in today’s fashion.
