I Found this on Dazed Digital.I had to share. I ♥ Chloe Sevigny.
Ever since she first graced our screens over 10 years ago, briefly in Sonic Youth’s “Sugar Kane” video, then more fully as the HIV-infected Jennie in Larry Clark’s harrowing “Kids”; Chloe Sevigny has captivated with a unique mix of steely toughness, sloe-eyed beauty and heartbreaking vulnerability. Put simply, there’s no-one else like her. She can find hidden depths in marginalized characters like put-upon socialite, Alice in ‘Last Days of Disco’ or conflicted Laurel in Woody Allen’s ‘Melinda & Melinda’, often making them more riveting than the central protagonists. The roll call of directors she’s worked with, from Lars Von Trier, David Fincher and Whit Stillman, have helped cement her position as a fearless actress, willing to take on challenging, often controversial roles. While her Oscar-nominated turn as Lana Tisdel, white trash girlfriend of a doomed transgendered in “Boys Don’t Cry” remains her finest movie role, her increasingly nuanced and rich turn as Nicolette Grant, second wife in a polygamist family, in HBO’s “Big Love” should see her win her first Emmy nomination. Through all this, she’s been embraced by the fashion world for an effortlessly cool and idiosyncratic style. A love of dress up and thrift-shopping started as a young girl in the middle class enclaves of Darien, Connecticut and led to her being hailed by Jay McInerney in The New Yorker as the “coolest girl in the world”. After previous stints as creative director for now-defunct label, Imitation Of Christ and modelling in campaigns for Miu Miu and Dolce & Gabbana, Chloe Sevigny staked her own claim in the fashion world by designing a collection for New York boutique, Opening Ceremony in 2007. Inspired by New Wave music and her youth, the engaging mix of Liberty prints and vintage stylings proved an instant hit which led to the introduction of menswear for A/W 09. While backpacks with a plastic pocket for cigarettes and 50’s influenced brothel creepers were some of the more quirky pieces, there were plenty of adorable knits, button down shirts, jackets in relaxed tailoring, not to mention kick ass boots that will be desirable to both young men and their girlfriends. Chloe also injected a bit of New York attitude to London Fashion Week with a riotous party at The Double Club playing a DJ set that was heavy on 80’s nostalgia.
The collection is sweet
