American actress and fashion icon Chloë Sevigny is one of Hollywood's boldest and most gifted actors. Known for her many indie film roles, Sevigny has garnered much critical acclaim since her 1995 debut, most recently a Golden Globe for her performance on HBO's Big Love. Sevigny is also widely revered for her sense of style, and recently launched her fourth collection for the hip NY label Opening Ceremony.

assassin Mia in the upcoming

Another brilliant clip from Opening Ceremony’s series of videos from Chloë Sevigny’s home. In this clip, Chloë gives us a look at some of her personal photos, and I particularly loved her quip about being an “unconventional beauty”.

This is me in 2003 by Inez and Vinoodh and they were doing portraits of “unconventional beauties” [laughs] for Harper’s Bazaar. And you know, “unconventional”, fine, I’ll take it.

Check out these photos of Chloë Sevigny with a new haircut and a warmer brown haircolor in New York earlier this week. Could this mean Hit and Miss has finally wrapped filming, and is the new look for another role (in Lizzie Borden perhaps)?

Thanks to Laurène and Letters to My Neighbors on Tumblr for the images.

Another magazine feature! Be sure to keep your eyes peeled for the Winter 2011 issue of Bullett magazine, in which Chloë Sevigny is interviewed about herself, her childhood and youth and her latest collection for Opening Ceremony. A preview of one of the covers for the issue is to your right.

The interview as well as some medium-res images from the accompanying photo spread highlighting the Chloë Sevigny for Opening Ceremony Resort 2012 collection are already up on the Bullett website; check them out at www.bullettmagazine.com. Chloë is not featured in the photoshoot itself, but the interview more than makes up for it. Some highlights, courtesy of Bullett:

What were you good at when you were younger?
I was really exceptional at entertaining myself for hours on end. My mother never had to give me a drawing book or crayons. She could just, like, leave me alone for hours and hours and I would entertain myself by playing imaginary games with my dolls, or just sitting in the backyard for five hours at a time. Nobody had to say anything to me. I didn’t need to be around anybody.

Were you terrible at anything?
Other than mathematics? I sometimes think that’s why I’m an actor, because I can’t add and I can’t spell. [Laughs.] As a kid, I was never that great at sports. I played softball, but I really wasn’t into group activities, especially in high school. I never did anything extracurricular. I guess I was more of a loner.

What was the toughest part about being a kid?
I was really unhappy with the town I lived in. I felt really dissatisfied, like I wasn’t being exposed to the outer world, and I was really mean to my parents because of that. I think I lacked confidence, which made growing up really hard. I didn’t like the way I looked, and that was so hard.

What about in high school?
I had a Volkswagen bus that I bought with my own money in Vermont, and I was really into it. It was perfect for weekend getaways. I was driving down the New Jersey Turnpike to a Grateful Dead show one weekend, and I blew a piston rod and the Volkswagen bus was killed forever. I called home — real high, I’m sure — and my dad had to come down and pick us up. It was awful. I think I might’ve even been on acid. It was that kind of trip.

What about Jersey Shore?
I think it’s really depressing that people are propping these people up as celebrities. The way they behave is embarrassing, and I think it’s kind of diminishing our culture. Most reality TV people behave like pigs, and it’s unfortunate that they get put on pedestals for doing so.

If you saw Snooki wearing something from your collection, would you approach her?
I read somewhere that Abercrombie & Fitch offered to pay The Situation not to wear their clothes — but who am I to say who should be wearing mine? I do remember someone saying that… what’s Paris Hilton’s sister called? Isn’t it Nicky or something? Anyway, she apparently talked to someone about my first collection, and was like, ‘I don’t get it.’ I was like, Good! I’m glad she doesn’t get it. It’s not for her. Besides, what’s there to get with clothes? So if Snooki wants to wear my clothes, go for it. I think she’d look a lot better in them.

Many thanks to Kim for the heads-up!

Check out this article from The Daily Beast in which Drew Droege discusses his (in)famous “Chloe Sevigny” YouTube drag impersonation. Here’s how he describes meeting Chloë for the first time at a Christmas party last December:

I’ve had countless people ask, “What does the real Chloë think of these videos?” We have several friends in common, and all I had heard was that she said that she hadn’t watched them because she has really thin skin and didn’t want her feelings hurt. While I don’t think my videos are mean-spirited at all, I completely respected her stance. I mean, how weird must this be for her? [...]

Finally, my friend Mike approached her and said something to the effect of “Hey, my friend plays you, and he’d love to meet you.” Then he literally dragged me across the room to meet Ms. Sevigny. We kind of just stared at each other for a while, and I said, “I hope you know how much I love you. Thanks for being you: you’re awesome.” Then, she gave me a big hug and made my Chloë face at me. That bitch has seen my videos! She’s doing me! Then we wildly laughed and hugged again and talked about vodka. She was the definition of cool, wearing a retro denim jacket, over a leather mini-dress, smoking a Merit Ultra Light, with unwashed hair and a homeless boy-date.

After realizing that she wasn’t going to throw her cocktail in my face, or punch me in the asshole, or simply ask, “Why are you doing this to me?” it came to my attention that I really like this person. My friend Darryl approached us and took a picture. And then I said, “I have to go, but it was so great to meet you.” I needed to keep it brief, so that I didn’t come off like a skin-wearing murderer or, worse, a starfucker. And she grabbed me by the back of the head and kissed me four times on the face. We never talked about my videos, which, I think, is a good thing. In five minutes, we traded mountains of nonverbal communication, and I think we were both a little relieved.

A few weeks later, she was interviewed in Entertainment Weekly, and she talked about meeting me. She said I was “very charming and very nervous.” Well, yeah, I think we both were. And she said that I don’t dress or sound like her, and she doesn’t see a connection between my character and herself. Which is totally valid. I get it. I think it’s always dumb and pointless for actors to describe their own work and their process and all that shit, but I will say this: I’m doing parody, I’m sending up a world, and I happen to look a little bit like Chloë Sevigny. However, my Chloë and the real Chloë are two very different people. Sometimes we just happen to go to the same parties.

Read the full article on The Daily Beast. You’ll find all of Droege’s “Chloe Sevigny” videos on YouTube.

Terrific article and interview with Chloë Sevigny from The New York Times, in which Chloë talks about her life and her relationship with fashion, with a couple of words thrown in from the now-defunct Sassy magazine’s former fashion editor Andrea Linett. (Linett originally “discovered” Chloë hanging out in New York in the early ’90s, getting her to both intern and appear in a photoshoot for the magazine in 1992.) Full article under the cut.


The ‘It’ Girl, Now a Woman

SHORTLY before Chloë Sevigny took off for an acting role in Europe (portraying a pre-operative, male-to-female transsexual assassin in a new mini-series called Hit and Miss), a job that would keep her away from her East Village apartment for several months, she visited a neighborhood holistic food store to buy birdseed for her canary. When the saleswoman asked if she was a member of the store’s frequent shopper discount program, Ms. Sevigny said yes and gave her name.

“I knew that was you,” announced the customer behind her in line. “I was going to say something. I recognize you by your style.”

Recounting this episode a few hours later, over plates of hummus and marinated kale at a cafe near her home, Ms. Sevigny laughed her loud, un-self-conscious, wheeze-honk-honk laugh, and said, “I mean, who says that?”

Well, frankly, if you have been near the fashion, art, skateboarding, grunge or night-life scenes of New York City at any time since roughly 1995, when Ms. Sevigny made her breakthrough in the Larry Clark film Kids, you might have said the same thing about her idiosyncratic style. She is someone who, now 36, appears as equally confident wearing a pinafore as a prairie dress as a Saint Laurent pantsuit. On this particular day, in early June, she wore faded Levi’s denim shorts that were cut off so shortly as to leave the inside lining of their pockets exposed several inches below the fray, a tight ribbed cotton T-shirt with a scoop neck and cap sleeves and black leather booties. Her hair was unwashed. You would not have confused her with Jessica Simpson.

It was once said of Ms. Sevigny, when she was 19, after Jay McInerney wrote a profile about her in The New Yorker, that she was the coolest girl in the world. Laurels of her part-nerdy, part-perverse sense of fashion have been bestowed at her ever since, prompting Bob Morris to ask, in The New York Times in 2000, “What is it about the young indie actress Chloë Sevigny that has turned the fashion world into a pack of dogs howling about her as if she were a full moon, or a lamb chop?” Her fabulous poses and linguistic mannerisms are so well known that they have become the popular subject of an online video parody by the comedian Drew Droege, who dresses as Ms. Sevigny and recites ridiculous insider fashion references like “this ironic art smock by Balenciaga Le Dix by Nicolas Ghesquiere.”

Unfortunately, Chloë Sevigny was not a winner at the inaugural Critics’ Choice Television Awards in Los Angeles, California last night. The award for Best Supporting Actress in a Drama Series, for which Chloë was nominated for her portrayal of Nicolette “Nicki” Grant in the fifth and final season of HBO’s Big Love, went jointly to Mad Men‘s Christina Hendricks and Justified‘s Margo Martindale. She is currently in Manchester, UK filming the Hit and Miss miniseries and did not appear at the event.
