ICON/ Chloe Sevigny

Chloe is one of my favourite individual young actresses in the
world today. Her style is a mix between designer fashion and
vintage finds, she manages to mix and match and often starts
a lot of celebrity trends. Come and find out a little bit more
about this eccentric cool young actress.



And here is the rest of it.

Name: Chloe Stevens Sevigny

Born: November 18, 1974

Where: Connecticut, USA

Lives: East Village, Manhattan




Parents:
Born to H. David Sevigny, an accountant turned interior painter, and Janine Malinowski, a Polish American.

On being a star:
"I’ll never be a star in America. It’s fine. I don’t want to be. Not in that way. In a Sissy Spacek way, in a Shelley Duvall way, in a Sandy Dennis way, that’s how I’d like to be a star. But movies aren’t as good now as they were in the ‘70s.” Chloe Sevigny"

On her personality: "I am most proud of my integrity and least proud of my cynicism."

Fashion Design: She collaborated with exclusive new york boutique Opening Ceremony to create her own line of clothes.

On her line of clothing:"mix-and-match, day-to-night... something quirky, something different".



Favourite designer: Christopher Kane, Proenza, Lanvin, Valentino, Balenciaga

Favourite Style: Bright colours and floral prints

Can't live without: An over sized gray mens cardigan. She says "preferably long enough to cover my ass, and with pockets I can shove my hands into when I get nervous in social situations, which is a constant."

Fashion Icons: Women who are outrageous yet effortless. Liz Goldwyn, Cecilia Dean, Angelica Houston, Marlene Dietrich, Debbie Harry, Poison Ivy, Slim Keith, Patti Smith—women who own their looks and themselves. Never looking uncomfortable in your outfit, or skin for that matter is a must



Ads: Chloe, Miu Miu, Louis Vuitton, MAC

Films: Kids, Brown Bunny, Boys Don't Cry, Gummo, American Psycho, Zodiac, Party Monster



Fact 1: Chloe was play fighting with a friend when she fell and chipped her two front teeth. Both are now veneered and one is completley fake.

Music that inspires her to design: The Cramps, Johnny Thunders and Patti Palladin, Lizzie Mercier, The Slits, The Shangri La's.

Favourite Movie Character: Little Orphan Annie!!!!!! Christiane F., any character in a Fassbinber movie. Linda Manns in Out of the Blue, Molly Ringwald in Pretty in Pink, Ally Sheedy in The Breakfast Club, and Sally Bowles from Cabaret.



What would she name her kitten: Sabbath after the little girl in Flannery O'Conner's Wiseblood.

Fact 2: She turned down a $500,000 offer in a comedy.

Fact 3: During her senior year of high school she shaved her head.

nooooooo, I can't stand her! I'm so over her 'indie posturing'. Yes she's worn some daring fashion choices but good gawd, isn't there a new indie queen we can all gush over????

olivegrey said...

she gets shy in social situations...how cute...

On Track said...

Olive, i found that adorable to, probably because I can relate but she seems so confident :)

Charlotte said...

i have kinda love/hate feeling towards her, but I must admit she has personality indeed

On Track said...

Charlotte, I can understand what you mean, you kind of get over everyone hailing one girl for her fashion until it becomes unorginal and everyone in Hollywood is wearing it, I guees we will have to take the good with the bad ;)

Siljesfashion said...

Raining Hats and Clogs said...

love her! great post on her!

Jelenie said...

She used to really annoy me (esp during watching her film brown bunny which i completely hate) because she used to really dress horribly before and everyone was hailing her as a fashion icon. But I'm warming up to her now and she's not taking any more bad risks.

jenny h. said...

The Clothes Horse said...

I love Chloe and how she isn't classically beautiful. She rocks.

On Track said...

Benedicte, I love them as well, I hear that she gives a lot of her clothes away to a charity shop near her house, I would love to go there ;)

Romeika, I know, some of those combinations I would never even dream of looking stylish, its great to see something different

Ediot, awww.... thank you. You are ALWAYS so sweet, thank you again :D

Raining hats and clogs, she is such an individual, its so nice to see a change from those 'cookie cutter' celebs

Jelenie, maybe she was going through an experimental stage, trying to see what worked and what didnt? I love the way she dresses now to ;)

Jenny, I am so glad you are a Chloe fan, she is so darn stylish :D

The Clothes Horse, I love that she isnt traditionally beautiful as well, she is gorgeous but in a different way then the norm, you are very very right ;)

A dreamer said...

i looooooooooove chloe.
i thinks she may be the one celeb whos style i truly admire.

Romany said...

Gosh Chloe S is just EVERYWHERE at the moment! It's insane. Lol.
She's great, though. I hope that she never has the problem of being 'so original that it's not original anymore' - if that even makes sense? Lol. Sorry...
