SHOW ME HOW IT'S DONE: Chloë Sevigny

Actress, model, and recently turned fashion designer Chloë Sevigny is not only the ultimate style icon IT-girl, but is also a living breathing inspiration to women around the world.

She's known to think out of the box and has never been afraid of new challenges and have often seen to be trying something new even if its out of her comfort zone. No wonder she's been in a few mishaps and controversies. Remember Cannes Film Festival in 2003? People feared the end of her acting career when she took on a lead female role in The Brown Bunny where she was seen giving co-star & director, Vincent Gallo, a fellatio.

Critics and even her agency scorned her for being "one step above pornography", and William Morris Agency eventually dropped her as a client.

But it didn't take long until Chloë Sevigny was back on her feet and all it took was Big Love in 2006, a critically-acclaimed & highly popular TV series by HBO that continues to broadcast till this very day which shows an unusual take on polygamy as a husband with his children from three wives all settle under one roof in a modern day American setting. Ironically, Chloë Sevigny is a practicing Roman Catholic.

So why be in awe of Chloë Sevigny? Well, why not?
You'll be head over heels in love when you see her collaboration with Opening Ceremony .

"Opening Ceremony is a multifaceted retail environment comprised of shops, showroom, and private label collection that establishes a new, international creative forum in downtown Manhattan. Opening Ceremony brings together emerging American talent with both young and established designers and artists from abroad. Each year, the unique commercial and cultural character of a visiting country is represented at Opening Ceremony by capturing the essence of the country’s consumer experience. Opening Ceremony has also become known for its myriad collaborations with the likes of Chloë Sevigny, Spike Jonze, Pendleton, Levi's, Timberland, Keds, Robert Clergerie, and more."

It all started in 2008 and I personally think it's kismet since Chloë's always been a style icon herself ever since the 90's check out Exhibit A:

And you'll be amazed with how far she's grown from that to Exhibit B:

And from modeling and acting, Chloë's made headlines in the fashion industry. Check out Exhibit C:

A sweet and edgy vintage take when it comes to fashion, Chloë continues to set the trend as she designs head-to-toe for Opening Ceremony.
Watch out for her latest Resort 2011 collection and here's a sneak peek just because I know how hard it is to keep good news to yourself. Teehee.
