Chloé Mendel Corgan is a designer and co-creative director of House of Gilles, the New York couture atelier she runs with her father, Gilles Mendel, formerly of J. Mendel, where occasion dressing is treated as a form of storytelling. Her work exists in close proximity to the moments people actually dress for: weddings, celebrations, and everything that requires more than everyday clothes. Her sensibility favors restraint over excess and structure with ease, with an emphasis on hidden construction, lightness in proportion, and a fit that feels deeply personal. For AIR MAIL, she shares an edit shaped by that instinct, grounded in real occasions
