Sevigny has said she drew inspiration for her initial fashion line from her love of vintage clothing, books she read as a child, her favorite music and even some of her old prom pictures.http://nymag.com/daily/fashion/2007/09/chloe_sevigny_designs_the_clot_1.html Of her future fashion plans, Sevigny has said that she hopes to create a new line, though on a much smaller scale. She says she hopes to begin designing new pieces sometime in 2010.http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/tv/2010/01/10/2010-01-10_big_love_actress_chole_sevigny_on_highcollared_shirts_new_york_and_her_new_cloth.html
Chloe Sevigny and Opening Ceremony
The history behind the teaming up of actress Chloe Sevigny and the Opening Ceremony Boutique in New York City is an interesting one. The partnership developed out of an off-hand comment Sevigny made during a 2007 interview. Sevigny mentioned that she'd "love to team up" with Opening Ceremony on a future project. Within days, Opening Ceremony contacted Sevigny to set up a meeting.http://nymag.com/daily/fashion/2007/09/chloe_sevigny_designs_the_clot_1.html
