After being at the helm of the Parisian-based brand for three years, Gabriela Hearst is bidding adieu to her role.

After a three-year run with Parisian fashion house, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/gabriela-hearst-chloe-debut-fall-winter-2021-sustainability" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gabriela Hearst</a> is stepping down from Creative Director of <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/chloe-fall-winter-2023-collection-looks-runway-photos-gabriela-hearst" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chlo&eacute;</a>. Under Hearst's leadership, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/every-look-chloe-spring-summer-2023-runway-photos-pfw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chlo&eacute;</a> became a leading luxury brand in regard to sustainable initiatives and saw a noticeable increase in revenue. The French fashion house became the first luxury fashion label to achieve the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/chloe-b-corp-certified-gabriela-hearst-sustainability" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Corp B Certification</a> in 2021 &mdash; an achievement handed only to those who practice positive social and environmental impact to the highest degree.
On the fashion front, Hearst celebrated Chlo&eacute;'s timeless minimalism and French roots, bringing an effortless elegance to each collection &mdash; though it was still suited for the modern-day woman.&nbsp;

<a href="https://wwd.com/fashion-news/designer-luxury/gabriela-hearst-leaving-chloe-designer-change-1235673104/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sources told WWD</a> that the split was amicable, as Hearst is wished all the best as she focuses on her eponymous label and other projects. Her final collection for Chlo&eacute; will be during <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/shopping/paris-fashion-week-street-style-looks-outfits-shopping" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Paris Fashion Week</a> for the Spring/Summer 2024 season this fall.&nbsp;
"Gabriela has brought great energy and a dynamic creative vision to her role at Chlo&eacute;, contributing to a period of significant progress for the business, and writing a powerful new chapter in the story of our Maison," said Chlo&eacute; President and CEO Riccardo Bellini in a statement. "I would like to warmly thank her for bringing so much of herself to this mission &mdash; her passion, drive, and values, and for her unwavering commitment to supporting the Maison&rsquo;s meaningful progression in shaping a more responsible future, true to the legacy of our founder."
He continued, "I wish her much success and happiness as she focuses on her next creative endeavor."
Going out on a high note, Chlo&eacute; also partnered with <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/angelina-jolie-best-90s-y2k-fashion-moments" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Angelina Jolie</a>'s newest fashion venture Atelier Jolie for an exclusive ready-to-wear collection. Co-designed by Hearst and Jolie, the partnership upholds both brands' social commitments respectively, reinforcing Chlo&eacute;'s push for sustainability and Atelier Jolie's founding principle on ethical practices.&nbsp;

"From the moment I heard about Angelina&rsquo;s vision for Atelier Jolie, I believed in it," Hearst said in a statement. "It is a way to elevate others through the beauty of garment-making and her deep respect for the environment. It&rsquo;s an honor for me that <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/chloe-resort-2022-gabriela-hearst-upcycling" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chlo&eacute;</a> will be the first collaborator for Atelier Jolie, as both have high ideals for the betterment of our species. That is the reason why I love both Angelina and Chlo&eacute; so deeply."
The collection will focus on eveningwear encapsulated with a timeless aesthetic. Some of the pieces will be produced from the work of artisans from a Fair Trade enterprise while numerous pieces will be crafted out of deadstock and eco-friendly materials.

There is currently no news on who Hearst's successor will be.
