Chloë Sevigny for O.C.
REVIEW
COMPLETE COLLECTION
LONDON, February 22, 2009
By Sarah Mower
"My references are all over the map," said Chloë Sevigny, "from skinheads to Connecticut kids to St. Mark's Place. But this all really started because I wanted to make a pink flannel shirt!" The result: androgyny with an indie/preppy slant. Sevigny's second collaboration with Opening Ceremony is a menswear collection that also comes scaled down to fit girls. The low-key mish-mash of moleskin pants, wool bombers (with matching backpacks), Fair Isles, long johns, oversize leopard and tiger knits, and other retooled Brit street-tribe and American classics were being worn by a group of friends and street-cast locals who mooched around at the Double Club in London. The laid-back Sunday scene was a hastily convened pit stop for Sevigny, who was briefly en route from Wales to Spain to finish a biopic of Howard Marks with Rhys Ifans. (Though it wasn't such a flying visit that she couldn't find time to score a pair of vintage high-waisted zip-sided black leather Montana shorts at Rellick, which she had on with one of her own shell-pink camp shirts and killer biker-style multi-strapped wedges.) One thing Sevigny has right is proportion and sizing—technically trickier to pull off in a unisex line than it might appear. The accessories, too, are strong: Western belts, creepers, and a collaboration with Bass that includes penny loafers and saddle shoes. Seeing Sevigny in the high-waisted, pleat-front trousers she describes as "a full David Bowie-Ossie Clark pant" might also be enough to convince anyone that boy style works. The reservation, though, is the quality of the fabric—a letdown compared with the styling.
