Chemena Kamali's Chloé Went Full Prairie Chic This Season

Chloé's Fall/Winter 2026 show, led by creative director Chemena Kamali, offered one of the most cohesive single-house trend stories of the season, built almost entirely around a prairie-chic mood that had been building since her arrival at the house.

Tartan and gingham motifs ran throughout the collection, appearing on everything from tailored coats to soft, flowing dresses, while fuzzy pants paired with ethereal sheer tops gave the country-inspired silhouettes a lighter, more romantic edge than the checks alone might suggest. The collection sat comfortably within two of the week's biggest overarching trends sheer "naked dressing" and a broader return to romance — while still reading as distinctly Kamali's own vision for the house, distinct from the era of her predecessors.

Critics noted the collection's cohesive aesthetic held together even within its sheer, "naked" moments, a balancing act that isn't always successfully pulled off when houses attempt both texture-heavy tailoring and translucent fabric within the same show. For Chloé, a house historically associated with bohemian femininity, the prairie-chic direction reads as a natural evolution rather than a dramatic pivot evidence that Kamali continues to sharpen a point of view that was already visible in her earlier collections for the label.
