An Interview With Chloe Sevigny, Indie 'It' Girl

An Interview With Chloe Sevigny, Indie 'It' Girl

It's a savagely cold December afternoon in Manhattan, and the wind could freeze the tears in your eyes. I'm with the actor Chloë Sevigny, driving at a crawl to a photoshoot where she will model outfits from her first clothing line, which she has designed for downtown boutique Opening Ceremony. The line is a charmingly sincere ragbag of patterns and influences, inspired by the "clothes collages" Sevigny would throw together as a bored adolescent in the commuter suburb of Darien, Connecticut. Nothing ever happened in Darien. Sevigny has claimed she would yell every night at her parents, "I can't believe you're bringing me up here! You guys are, like, evil!" Entire afternoons were whiled away watching her older brother, Paul, and his pals skateboarding in the backyard. Mostly, she sewed. "I had nothing better to do, so I made my own clothes."
