At Home with Chloe Sevigny




Chloe Sevigny gives Opening Ceremony a tour of her overwhelming wardrobe in part one of 'At Home with Chloe Sevigny', the sort of title that is synonymous with a excited sigh and rubbing together of hands.

She also laughs about that photograph taken with Kate Moss backstage at a Miu Miu show in the 90s and how she was "totally nerdy, uncomfortable and out of place" standing next to a sexily posing Kate. I'm also fascinated by Chloe Sevigny's ability to hoard so much when she must have collected lots over the years-clothes and newspaper cuttings and invitations and all of those miscellaneous objects that find their way into our homes-check out the masses of shelves as she walks down her stairs, like a cave of storage or the storeroom in the back of an old shoe shop which would require ladders and a great memory in order to navigate.

And a word on the new haircut-it's not my bag but another example of how much better it is to take risks and try to new things especially when it comes to hair. It's always interesting to chart how different hair styles  can affect the way others perceive and react to you and in turn how this impacts on your own behaviour. 'The psychology of hair', if you will. Plus, I'm convinced that being a bit braver about changes in appearance and stepping outside of your comfort zone is simply 'good for the soul'.

her hair reminds me of a modern pageboy meets peggy olson from "mad men".... i, personally, could never, ever pull it off, but i dig it on chloe.

i, too, am fascinated by how others manage to collect, stow, archive the beautiful, major, and minute nuances of their lives. i walk a thin line between collector and pack rat....

Agree with you on the the taking risks issue. And it's amazing to see how different people react to different hairstyles so strongly. I used to change my hairstyle freuently and i experienced that a lot.
