Did you know…?
• Chloë’s older brother Paul Sevigny is a well-known New York DJ.
• Chloë originally auditioned for the role of Brandon Teena in Kimberly Peirce’s Boys Don’t Cry (1999).
• Chloë turned down a $500,000 supporting role in the 2001 movie, Legally Blonde.
• Chloë used to babysit actor Topher Grace while in high school.
• Chloë never really aspired to become the indie-film poster girl, and has often sought work in mainstream productions.
• Chloë hates tracksuits.
• Chloë says the only role she ever did solely for money was that in If These Walls Could Talk 2.
• Chloë says she hasn’t made a lot of close friends in Hollywood, despite her career of more than a decade of film, save Natasha Lyonne — “two peas in a pod”.
• Having been labeled the “It Girl” already in the 90’s, Chloë says she was confused by the title early on and resisted it as she felt it was something used to refer to socialites or party-girls rather than fashion forerunners.
• Chloë is a smoker, and has tried drugs in her teens.
• Despite being known as a fashion forerunner, Chloë did not venture into fashion design until early 2008, when she debuted her collection for Opening Ceremony at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. Prior to this she did, however, work a stint as “creative director” for Imitation of Christ.
• Chloë has appeared in advertisement campaigns for Cesare Paciotti, Miu Miu, Uniqlo, Ellus and H&M.
• Following her controversial oral sex scene in The Brown Bunny (2003), Chloë was reportedly dropped by the William Morris Agency. Although her publicist denied the rumor, Chloë nevertheless left the agency and instead signed up with Endeavor.
• Chloë has been romantically involved with controversial writer-director Harmony Korine.
• Chloë interned for the now defunct Sassy magazine in 1993.
• The umlaut in her name is actually not on her birth certificate (Chloe, not Chloë). As a child, however, she had a book called Chloë and Maude, which is where she got the idea to include the umlaut in her name. “A little flair. Just to confuse people even more.”
• Chloë’s father David has been a great influence in the development of Chloë’s fashion sense. David sadly passed away of cancer in October 1996.
