i loathe most of these photoshoots. there are some nice shots in the mix, but the sex factor is overdone and the tone reminds me of her "kids" days for goodness sake, or worse, of richardson's style, so just bleck. no, no, no - especially to 618 marfa journal.

more like barf-ah!

enough with the crotch and a_ _ shots chloe. aren't we past this yet?

 

[Wolkfolk]

I'd rather see more film or tv work from her than those pretentious artsy shoots. The MUSE story is the only one I like, some good photos for OC as well.

Chloë Sevigny and Liv Tyler for Proenza Schouler
In this new film for Proenza Schouler – inspired by gritty 90s documentary series Real Sex and Taxicab Confessions – cult actress Chloë Sevigny, a very pregnant Liv Tyler and Dazed cover star Binx Walton abstractly discuss senses, colours and the pros and cons of womanhood, directed by Dazed contributor Harley Weir. Her signature sensual magnetism sets a dreamy scene for the retro film style short, showcasing the SS15 collection with the help of women who have been both friends and inspirations to the pair of designers – also including the Dazed 100 artist India Menuez, models Fei Fei Sun, Liya Kebede and a gaggle of other creatives. “We call these women our muses in that they are all women that have kept us creatively inspired over the years,” explain Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez. “They each bring very diverse and unique qualities to the table and they all have that certain X-factor that we are incredibly attracted to.” Watch the premiere of the video below:

The Edit by Net-A-Porter
April 9, 2015

A True Original
Model Chloë Sevigny
Photographer Thomas Whiteside
Styling Natalie Brewster

From her art-house film roles to her ultra-cool closet, CHLOË SEVIGNY is the poster girl for individuality. She tells Man Repeller’s LEANDRA MEDINE about going her own way.

There is quite simply no one more perfect than 40-year-old Chloë Sevigny to front The EDIT’s first Personal Style issue. From her breakout role in cult 1995 movie Kids to her two decades in the spotlight since, the American actress has epitomized fashion individuality, and become that rare thing, a true modern
style icon, in the process. But if there is one woman who rivals Sevigny’s non-conformist attitude to fashion, it is Leandra Medine, aka Man Repeller, the New York-based uber-blogger with an enviably irreverent approach to getting dressed. The EDIT introduced them...

“Chloë Sevigny is tuned into a special kind of style frequency that has no regard for rules,” says Medine. “On an especially cold New York afternoon, she was wearing a black turtleneck, a mini skirt and calf-length flatform boots. She describes herself as knowing very little about fashion, yet she radiates a distinct sense of self-expression and confidence, rejecting what she calls the lethality of “good taste”. She is so profoundly relatable, you almost forget you’re talking to the coolest girl in New York.”

But talk they did...

Leandra Medine: When I think about the late ’90s and style, I think Chloë Sevigny. How do you feel about the fact that people call you ‘cool’ so frequently?
Chloë Sevigny: I would rather be called cool than uncool. I think most actors or even most people from New York in general have a sort of innate sense of cool with less effort.
LM: Cool has become a difficult concept. People try so hard to be it, but it isn’t something you can buy.
CS: You know, I’m very confused by the whole fashion ‘goth’ movement because I wonder if these are offbeat kids or if they’re just dressing like that because they know that’s how Céline or Givenchy has spun it. It’s hard to determine what’s authentic.
LM: Although it’s not superficial, because the way a person chooses to dress is reflective of who they are and what they’re thinking.
CS: But now there’s this lethal concept of everything being in “good taste”.
LM: Too polished?
CS: Yeah. I miss [the time when] things were a bit...off.
LM: I think we’re ready to feel a little bit uncomfortable again. I write a blog called Man Repeller – it’s about trends that women love and men hate.
CS: I feel like men hate leotards... Anything that complicates access to a vagina.
LM: Do you ever look at websites or blogs?
CS: No. I don’t really go on the internet.
LM: That must be very soul cleansing.
CS: I’ve never [really gone on the internet], so I don’t know. The only reason I even joined Facebook was because I was single a few years ago and my friend was like, “It’s a good way to check guys out.”
LM: When did you realize who you were, style-wise? That moment of, “This is the way I’m going to dress now because I know who I am”?
CS: Probably in the eighth grade. I was always very into what I wore. Even in sixth grade, I was obsessed with catalogues. I made a choice that I was going to wear these outfits when everybody else was in their Benetton, because my look made me feel different somehow.
LM: Rebellious?
CS: Yeah. To me, the way I dressed was always a statement or an opinion, reflecting how I felt about myself. I can’t remember a time when I wasn’t concerned about what I was putting on.
LM: I’ve always been that way, too. My mom used to get so frustrated because I wouldn’t wear sweatpants, even just to stay home. I didn’t like how they made me feel. What are you mostly wearing right now?
CS: I’ve been getting into some weird Comme des Garçons and Yohji Yamamoto pieces. Jeans, obviously, always, and I recently got this vintage Jean Paul Gaultier black leather flight jacket and I’ve been wearing that because it’s been so cold.
LM: What sort of advice do you give to women who are trying to figure themselves out through fashion?
CS: Actually, I don’t feel like people come to me for advice. All my girlfriends have great style. Maybe if we’re together and getting ready to go out, we share our opinions.
LM: What is the process of getting dressed like for you?
CS: It depends on where I’m going and who I’m seeing. I find it difficult if I have a Hollywood meeting and then I’m going into some sort of hip [social] scenario, because those are two different roles that I have to play. I wish I was a person who could wear jeans and a T-shirt and be like, “This is it,” but I’m not. There have been periods of time where I haven’t bought any clothes for six or seven months because I was so depressed by how I needed to look to feel good about myself. For example, if I was going to go out on a date or doing a show, I would think, “I have to have something new or I’m not going to feel good about myself. I’m not going to feel sexy.”
LM: Do you work with a stylist?
CS: No, but I can understand why some actresses do. You want someone with that fashion eye to help you. I have less of a problem with celebrity stylists than I do with the whole machine of the
[red] carpet and the tabloid photos and the online photos. I think actresses don’t feel like they can just dress in something from their own closet anymore.
LM: With a stylist you have to speak up about what works on you.
CS: I know if some pieces work on a model, they're not going to fit me. Then there’s the problem of fitting the sample size – as a 40-year-old actress, that’s hard!
LM: Tell me about the book you have coming out.
CS: It’s a collection of photos of me, some personal, some film stills, some that have been published before. It’s like a scrapbook. I didn’t want it to be too glossy.
LM: Like the original Personal Style blog, but in 2015?
CS: Something like that. It’s a collection of photos, kind of like a scrapbook. I wanted it to represent the niche that I’ve carved for myself, which is a little indefinable, I’d like to think. In the internet age, it is so hard to have your own voice. I wanted this book to be timeless, not too intimate and not too grand. It feels like a ‘no-style style’ book. There’s a foreword by Kim Gordon and an afterword by [Orange Is the New Black actress] Natasha Lyonne because I didn’t want to write anything myself.
LM: What are you hoping people are going to take out of the book?
CS: Optimism and an appreciation for authenticity; that ‘free in the streets’ vibe. It’s not chronological, but I think you get an overall sense of this world that I’ve created, or different people I’ve been able to work with who have helped build my point of view.
LM: Do you look back at photos of yourself and cringe?
CS: The red-carpet ones make me cringe! That’s me when I’m trying to be something I’m not. Or propelled by the fear that comes along with going anywhere my photo might be taken: I always end up on those “What was she thinking?” pages in tabloids. I want to dress like I dress but I get made fun of until the cows come home.
LM: I take issue with worst-dressed lists – how can you tell someone they’re doing a good or bad job based on something so personal?
CS: I called my great aunt who lives in Florida over Christmas. I hadn’t seen her in a while and she said, “Oh, I never get to see you [in person] but I always see you in the back of US Weekly. They’re always making fun of you,” and I was like, “You know me, I dress crazy.” It makes me feel bad.
LM: Why? I don’t think anyone takes those pages seriously. Worst-dressed lists are setting us back. People are afraid to be individual so they retreat to uniforms.
CS: Rock stars are allowed to be wild or have a personal style, but if you’re an actress you get neutered.
LM: For many people, you embody the difference between fashion and style. You speak with conviction about how important what you put on has been for you, and yet you don’t seem to care about what’s currently popular in fashion.
CS: I’m just too frugal for high fashion. I feel like a true alternative girl who has preppy roots. That’s in no way reflected in how I dress for the red carpet, but it is how I am in my real life.
LM: Would you ever just drop the mic, say, “Screw it,” and put on whatever you want to walk the red carpet and get out there?
CS: Maybe I should try! Just wear something from my closet.
LM: Yeah, I mean, you make the rules, right?
CS: Yeah!
Chloë’s book, Chloë Sevigny, is out on April 21.
