After a long quiet period I am so glad to finally see some new Chloë-ness! As we reported earlier, Chloë is now Elle magazine’s “style advisor” and will be writing a column for the magazine for the next six months, and thus she is currently featured in the March 2008 issue of Elle (UK) in a brand new, sizzling photoshoot!

I’ve added eight scans from the issue to the gallery thanks to OhJane of The Fashion Spot – I will upload better resolution scans (including such of the “Ask Chloë”-column on page 188 of the magazine, which are currently not among the scans) as soon as the issue reaches my country. Meanwhile, check out the magazine’s awesome interview with Chloë; you can read the article in its entirety at our gallery. Below is an excerpt courtesy of Elle:

The problem with being a style icon, part one: your look gets ripped off. ‘A few years ago I started wearing these white Ray-Ban Wayfarers that my mother found at a flea market in Connecticut,’ says Chloë Sevigny. ‘I loved them and wore them every day. But I was constantly made fun of by all the tabloids, attacked over and over again. It got to the point where my publicist and my agent had this conference call with me – yes, a conference call – and said, “Chloë, we know you really like those sunglasses but people are taking the piss out of you so much that we have to advise you to stop wearing them.” I was, like, OK fine, I’m sick of them anyway. But then the next summer those white Ray-Bans were everywhere! You could not escape them. Mary-Kate Olsen wore them and it was, like, “Mary-Kate starts a new trend.” I never got any credit! I’m so off the radar!’ She bursts into laughter – and what a magnificent laugh she has, kind of like an asthmatic donkey. She takes a sip of green tea and reconsiders. ‘Well, I think I am on the radar for style-setters. And then it trickles down from what they do.’

I don’t know about you, but I will snatch this issue off the shelf as soon as I find it. Meanwhile, enjoy the below scans of Elle magazine’s Chloë spread.
