Six clothing and six jewelry designers from the Houston area will have their designs sold at Lot 8 alongside Chloe's signature collections.

Chloe hopes to continue to bring new designers into Lot 8 in the future, and is also working with the fashion design program at Houston Community College to highlight younger talent.

Ms. Dao herself is currently working on designing a signature bathrobe that will be showcased nationwide at Massage Heights. With her Spring 2011 collection currently on sale at Lot 8, Chloe will soon be back in her studio designing away for the fall.
