Chloë Sevigny is an award winning American film actress, fashion designer and former model. In 1994 Jay McInerney wrote a six-page profile on nineteen-year-old Sevigny for the New Yorker coining her "The It- Girl" of the moment - a status she has maintained to the present day. Sevigny made her film debut with a leading role in the controversial film 'Kids'. A long line of roles in generally well-received independent and often avant-garde films throughout the decades established Sevigny's reputation as an indie film queen. In 1999, Sevigny won eight acting awards for her first mainstream role in the critically lauded 'Boys Don't Cry'. Sevigny continued acting in mostly independent art house films, such as 'American Psycho' and 'Party Monster'. From 2006 to 2011, Sevigny played a leading role in the HBO television series 'Big Love', receiving a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress in 2010. She has also played leading roles in the series 'Hit & Miss' (2012) and 'American Horror Story: Asylum'. Additionally, Sevigny has two Off Broadway theatre credits, and has starred in several music videos. She has also designed several wardrobe collections, most recently with Manhattan's Opening Ceremony boutique.
"Model, actress and muse of independent cinema, Chloë Sevigny is a
contemporary female icon who thinks outside the box." -Muse
Magazine
"Part of the pleasure of perusing Chloë Sevigny is
precisely in re-experiencing this pre-Internet era of 'alternative'
and 'independent' that Sevigny inspired with her mischievous,
do-it-yourself aesthetic. Even as she joined larger Hollywood
ensembles and accrued more mainstream success, her passion for the
avant-garde has not waned. Moreover, the book highlights
contemporary fashion's extraordinary spirit of levity and
inventiveness, qualities for which she has been largely
responsible." -Rolling Stone
"Thus was born the retrospective album Chloë
Sevigny (Rizzoli), a compilation of photographs, tear sheets,
scrapbook pages, and other highly personal ephemera curated by the
actor, designer, occasional Vogue model, and original street-style
icon . . . the grainy photos in the book have an undeniably
nostalgic appeal - in those antediluvian days we were still
communicating largely without the help of computers, instead
relying on the ancient machinery of typewriters, Polaroids, and
Xeroxes." -Vogue
"Sevigny's latest project aims to stitch together her diverse
pursuits. , a photo book published by Rizzoli, due out tomorrow,
collects a hundred and seventy images from the span of her career,
taken by friends and collaborators including Harmony Korine, Mario
Sorrenti, and Inez and Vinoodh, with essays by Kim Gordon and
Natasha Lyonne. It's not an art book or a scrapbook, she says, but
a fan book, in the vein of teen fanzine tributes to River Phoenix
or Matt Dillon." -The New Yorker
"As Rizzoli's new tome proves, little has changed since the '90s -
Chloë is still as cool as ever." -Harper's Bazaar
"Chloë Sevigny looks back on her three-decade oeuvre and delivers a
deeply inviting visual anthology." -Nylon Magazine
"Rizzoli's Chloë Sevigny catalogues the images, ephemera, and
personal details [Chloe] feels best represent her . . ." -V
Magazine
"Chloë Sevigny hit the big screen 20 years ago with Kids and later
earned an Oscar nomination for Boys Don't Cry and a Golden Globe
for Big Love. With the release of a self-titled book of portraits,
the actress reflects on her other full-time job: being cool."
-Entertainment Weekly
"The New Yorker famously called her 'the coolest girl in the
world,' so Chloë Sevigny needs little introduction. Boasting a
resume of eclectic credentials - each one more impressive and
unique than the last - she is that rare creature who is cool
without trying, effortless without being conceited, and interesting
without being pretentious. A muse to film directors, designers, and
musicians for over two decades, her latest venture is a self-titled
book published by Rizzoli that chronicles her journey from a teen
trawling skate parks in the early ‘90s, to her career as an
it-girl, actress, and model bar none." -Yahoo! Beauty
"...charts a rather fantastical, visually ecstatic coming-of-age -
street urchin to star - in pictures, Polaroids, snapshots, magazine
covers . . . the book is a wild ride through a well-spent youth."
-Interview Magazine
"The term 'It Girl' tends to be overused and is borderline
meaningless at times, but when you're talking about Chloë Sevigny,
it's an ideal descriptor. In her self-titled photo book—published
by Rizzoli and boasting a foreword by Kim Gordon—Sevigny's eclectic
and truly personal style is explored, from her days as a teenager
interning for Sassy to being the face of Miu Miu."

"This book will be a total blast for the legions of Chloë Sevigny
fans the world over and will be an inspirational must for young
women everywhere, who march to their own fashion tune and
appreciate Chloe’s fearless and fun choices— in fashion and in
life!" -Marinela.com
