I find it rather boring too, but it's got a lot of wearable pieces that I'd probably have some interest in if I was a female.

I'd be interested in seeing bigger pictures of the rest of the collection. And pucci - surely it's only going to be carried at Opening Ceremony in NYC? Are there any UK stockists for Opening Ceremony?

Chloë Sevigny for Opening Ceremony: The Unfortunate Reactions

She's wearing clothes behind that artsy blurPhoto: Courtesy of Opening Ceremony

Opening Ceremony posted the look book for Chloë Sevigny's new line on its Website yesterday, and bloggers — us included — are all aflutter with judgment. This is Sevigny's second line exclusively for the boutique, and she even models the clothes in the look book, which includes images veiled with a blur that is so artsy it prevents human eyes from seeing the clothes altogether. We thought the blur would have done service to some especially ugly outfits. But some of our peers disagreed. We've compiled opinions and pictures after the jump.













FabSugar says: "It's mostly eccentric, but did we expect anything else from the quirky actress? I'm talking gingham, florals, and fun frocks — with an early '90s reference. I'd definitely wear individual pieces, though in a slightly more polished way."
We say: We can't say we'd wear any of it, especially that T-shirt on the right. Sevigny must not have gotten the memo: When the florals come out in warm weather, so do the boobs.

Pink Rock Candy says: "The clothes are obviously ultra fresh in an 'I love Clueless' sort of way. I love the way she mixed pieces I never would have thought to mix (leopard leggings and below the knee pencil skirt?)"
We say: Clueless is not fresh, and there's a reason you never would have thought to mix leopard leggings with a checked powder-blue-and-white pencil skirt. Wasn't it Cher who used the term "hagsville"?
Fashionista says: Crop tops, bobby socks, leather "Ricky-from-Project-Runway" hats, turbans, zippered spandex bodysuits – I'm feeling sick."
We say: Nausea is contagious. Sevigny looks like she was on her way to the salon to get a much-needed dye job and concealed her gnarly roots with the only hat she could find. And socks and shoes on the left: no, no, no, NO.

Fashionista says: "When I was seven, my mom bought me a matching floral tank and shorts. I threw a temper tantrum and threw the ensemble out the window - this stirs up familiar feelings. Maybe I would like the clothes that are stuck behind those floaty, artsy clouds?…"
We say: Funny, Sevigny looks rather sheepish about her floral ensemble as well. Maybe she hid behind the cloud to conceal her ensuing shame along with whatever atrocious outfit she's got on.
Jezebel says: "Chloe Sevigny for Opening Ceremony looks, well, like the crazy prepster-indie-skater-prairie girl **** you normally see on … Chloe Sevigny."
We say: Agreed. We overheard Chloë Sevigny raving to one of the Olsen twins about the Olsens' clothing line backstage at Fashion Week in New York. Maybe she was sucking up to her because she thought these looks might be something the girls would wear.

We can't resist noting: These outfits look like the stuff the day-care counselors who scared us the most as children wore.
We can't resist noting: We don't want to see anyone wear leopard flats with skinny, high-waisted, CHECKED pants. In fact, we don't want to see anyone wear the shoes or pants, period. Also, if we saw a girl walking down the street in that dress, we'd instantly judge her, and you all know how.

The end

asos carries opening ceremony (just discovered this myself last week!) but i'm not sure they'll carry the collab. maybe they will? I do like some of the pieces. The way it's styled I think makes it look very Chloe and it's hard for people to see how they could wear it in an updated way but I actually think it'd be nice to wear a very polished outfit and then have a bit of a floral grunge underneath.

^^I can't help but agree. I could definitely wear the black pencil skirt and jacket, but not necessarily together. Also, the black tank and the necklace could be worn with many things. So could the checked high-waisted pencil skirt.

So far I can't find a place in SF where I can find Chloe Sevigny for Opening Ceremony---Only NY and LA--too bad for me. Hope the line will be available here.

I really love that floral dress with the peter-pan collar but it is a bit too pricey for my wallet

i've followed chloe since she worked at sassy magazine..

i love the flowered dresses!

[nogoodforme]

i was at opening ceremony today and looked at some of the pieces in person. i have to say, i LOVE the shoes. they are genuinely awesome, but expensive. a lot of the pieces are nice and decently-made, but i genuinely find the prices slightly too high for what they are, which is essentially gussied-up better-quality urban outfitters. i don't really get the lookbook (i mean, i'd like to be able to *see* the clothes!), but i think the clothes can be adapted well into a wide variety of looks and aesthetics actually. i'd probably hold out for a sale to pick up anything. oh, and yes, the flowered pieces are really cute in real life! the colors and patterns are much more vivid in person, in a good way.

Chloë is lovely

I know that they've been talking about opening a webshop for some time now.

I also know that they ship for a fee(then you might not have to pay tax either), like 50 bucks or so, just find out what dress you want and size you need and call them.

It would be cool if you could buy the clothes on the website
