Few fashion shows have caused quite as much excitement in the past few seasons as the debut of Chemena Kamali, Chloé's creative director who decided that, it was finally time for a full-fledged boho resurrection. Taking the house right back to its roots, Kamali has since made us all want to become Chloé girls (again), showcasing a parade of free-spirited dresses with cascading ruffles and sheer lace, all accessorised with knee-high boots, logo belts and the kind of insouciant attitude we've been trying to perfect since 2005.
Since that first show in 2024, celebrity stylists have been fighting it out over Chloé's bohemian collection, with Sienna Miller, the ultimate boho girl, leading the charge in a parade of boho dresses. Miller wore a white lace dress to the Met Gala last year, as she posed with her fellow Chloé girls, Zoe Saldana, Emma Mackey and Greta Gerwig, all accompanied by Kamali. More recently, Miller sported a ruffled Mango dress reminiscent of her Chloé favourites at a fraction of the price.
Alessandro Michele's run at Valentino has also been a celebration of frills and lace, with the recent SS25 catwalks featuring diaphanous maxis embellished with embroidery, rhinestone and bows. On Anthony Vaccarello's take on boho at Saint Laurent saw paisley printed maxis in deep green hues styled with leather bomber jackets. A moodier take on the trend, Daisy Edgar-Jones was recently spotted in Soho wearing one of Saint Laurent's floor-grazing maxis styled with a trench coat, proving the trend's versatility across seasons.
On the high street end, you'll find an abundance of breezy, ruffled midis and maxis. A key favourite amongst influencers recently is the Nobody's Child White Ruffle Bohana Midi Dress. Featuring long balloon sleeves, ruffles along the underbust seams and a trendy neck scarf, the 70s inspired dress is ideal for balmy summer evenings and weekend brunches alike.
