- Abstract
The article discusses the exhibition "Mood of the moment: Gaby Aghion and the house of Chloé" at the Jewish Museum in New York. The exhibition showcases the history of the French fashion label Chloé, with a focus on its founder, Gaby Aghion. The exhibition takes a more understated approach compared to other fashion exhibitions, displaying garments on simple hangers and dress forms. However, there is criticism that the exhibition lacks sufficient information about Aghion and how her legacy is portrayed. The article also raises questions about how the museum handles the problematic history of Karl Lagerfeld, who worked at Chloé. Overall, the exhibition provides a glimpse into the evolution of Chloé and the contributions of various designers who have led the brand.
