Chloë Sevigny (Or My Girl-Crush Explained)

I think, out of all the people I admire for their stylistic pursuits (countless girls that post on wardrobe_remix, and a select few in the public eye) no one is more inspiring to me than Chloë Sevigny. I know, I know, I'm not alone in my love for her. There's just something so effortless in her attitude towards clothes that makes me foam at the mouth. And I do like the fact that she can be on best dressed lists as well as worst dressed ones. I'm in the former camp, yet I like how provocative her style is to a lot of people. Needless to say, I want one of the dresses from her line with Opening Ceremony (a Liberty print one with pockets) more than anything.

This is just an excellent t-shirt. And swiped from Harmony Korine, no less.

It It always amazes me how much modelling she does and how great she is as a model. I think this has lead in turn to her more 'fashion-y' reputation. My favourite shoot of hers was in s/s 07's Self Service magazine, titled "I'm very into a kind of circus look right now" which can be seen here.


Yellow looks incredible on her, as do those great boots.


I I I like the deconstruction of this dress. Plus it has pockets! Great boots again, she really knows how to play up the asset that are her legs.


I really adore this; it's playful and fun, although I know it wasn't recieved very well. Look how adorable she is! The pink lip is a really good look for her.


Pockets again! Such a great colour on her, Luella s/s '07. The statement necklace just finishes it off.

And finally, the photograph that started my Chloë-crush. Florals and white peeptoes! I have incredible amounts of love for this outfit.

Overall, I think her style works so well because it is obvious that it is her. She doesn't employ a stylist, and she is now serving as a style advisor for UK ELLE magazine. Her style is something very natural, and very becoming. Now that is something to strive towards.
