For her debut show at Chloe last season, Chemena Kamali brought out one of the brand’s most known shoes: chunky wooden platform sandals with leather uppers. Variations of the shoe were ubiquitous on the front row with the likes of Sienna Miller, Georgia May Jagger, Pat Cleveland and Liya Kebede among others wearing the shoe.
On the runway, only one style with a wooden heel made an appearance for fall 2024. But for spring 2025, Kamali is redoubling her efforts with a new version.

Within the new range, Kamali presented a new iteration of the shoe, now with a PVC upper. The shoes include the classic, chunky platform that Chloe has become known for with a slick slingback-style upper. The slip-on shoe features a V cut vamp as well as an open toe. It was shown on multiple models, combining Chloe’s history via the wooden platform as well as the still-trending slingback silhouette into one product.
The upper fabrication also is a through-line of some of the collection’s shoes. Multiple models wore sheer, jelly-like style thong flats. That silhouette includes an ankle strap.
On the front row, the classic version of the wooden platforms was still getting its due. Taiwanese model and social media star Kiwi Lee wore the platform mule with gold-tone studs that was seen last year. The shoe was named the Jeanette and features a large Paddington buckle on the top of the clog. Others like Viky Rader, Charlotte Groeneveld and Jong-Seo Jeon wore the Maxime wedge.
That shoe features two thick criss-cross straps as the other as well as a slingback-style heel strap. The platform of that clog also features scribbles of words like “Chloe” as well as “I Love You” that references the brand’s heritage like engraved notes on trees.
Both the Maxime wedge and the Jeanette wooden clog are available to purchase currently.
