We finally have some new information on Chloë Sevigny’s new menswear line for Opening Ceremony, Autumn/Winter 2009. As some of you will know, Chloë recently debuted the collection at London Fashion Week in the UK.
For starters, the gallery has been updated with eight medium-res photos of a Chloë promoshoot for the collection. Chloë furthermore recently sat down with DazedDigital.com to discuss the new collection. If you’re interested in a collection preview, the website also has an additional look at it, which is definitely worth a look. From DazedDigital.com:
DD: Your first collection was inspired by your Junior High years, is your menswear from the same period?
CS: I guess so. I was hoping that a lot of pieces were more timeless. A shirt jacket in navy, it could be from any period. We wanted to make lots of oversize jackets for girls. My favourite piece is probably the full pants. But they’re all pretty classic pieces.DD: You’ve appeared on the cover of L’uomo Vogue in menswear. What’s your take on androgyny?
CS: When I was 19, 20, I had very short hair and I was very into the androgynous look. But I was much thinner then and I’ve filled out and become more of a woman now. I don’t think I could pull it off so much now. But I think the androgynous look is so beautiful. It’s one of my favourite looks on women.DD: Is designing a nice release after working on a dramatic show like Big Love?
CS: Oh yeah this was fun. I don’t wanna say it’s a vanity project but it kind of is y’know! It’s just something for me to do that’s creative and fun. I get to make pieces I always wanted to wear.
Lovely, the new site just looks perfect!!
