LOOKING FOR CHLOE Screening
One Night Only
LOOKING FOR CHLOE | 6:00 PM | Wednesday, October 30, 2024 | Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum
The Bolton Arts Foundation presents the Texas premiere of the acclaimed documentary “Looking for Chloe” — the first time the film will be screened in the United States outside of a secular film festival, offering a rare opportunity for Dallas audiences to experience the life and legacy of Gaby Aghion, the visionary Jewish Egyptian woman who founded the iconic fashion house Chloé.
About the Film:
“Looking for Chloe” delves into the remarkable story of Gaby Aghion, whose groundbreaking approach to fashion revolutionized the industry by making high fashion accessible to women everywhere. Aghion’s journey, from her origins in Egypt to her rise as a pioneering force in Parisian fashion, is a narrative of resilience, innovation, and cultural significance. The documentary has previously only been shown at Jewish film festivals, making this Dallas screening an extraordinary occasion for both fashion enthusiasts and the Jewish community.
