Gabriela Hearst

Hearst grew up working her family’s sheep and cattle ranch, and the label runs on that supply chain’s honesty — merino from Paysandú, deadstock fabrics, and knitwear hand-worked by artisan cooperatives. In 2019 she staged what was billed as the first carbon-neutral runway show, and at Chloé she drove the house to B Corp certification, making sustainability a boardroom fact rather than a press release.

The clothes themselves argue that responsibility and luxury are the same discipline: double-face cashmere coats, sculptural leather, and tailoring built to be kept for decades. Her Paris shows draw a clientele — and a political class — that wears the label as a statement of values.
