Sevigny's opening ceremony for both boys and girls


“Not only did I want to do something for the guys in my life, but a lot of my girlfriends prefer to wear men’s stuff,” Sevigny told style file, “I think what they like about men’s clothes is the fit. So I don’t want to change that. It’ll be a new challenge.“


So the news is that Chloe Sevigny is designing a menswear line with women in mind for Opening Ceremony. Most interestingly the girl versions will not have different tailoring, they will just come in smaller sizes. I am intrigued and a little scared by this idea. I'm a fan of Sevigny's but I wasn't impressed with her previous effort for Opening Ceremony but she might have a better eye for menswear (I must admit that I'm far from convinced - I predict punk t shirts, washed out denim and some flannel)...If she does come up with the goods though we might be seeing a few more couples dressing alike and that is no bad thing.
What do you make of this? Do any of you care?

  2. Not impressed at all by her efforts so far. I think this is an odd move by the usually reliable OC.

  3. I've always been a little underwhelmed by OC. I always expect great things but they never quite deliver....

  4. hmmm... I actually find this one quite scary. I'm just not too keen on seeing Sevigny do a menswear line. And, I doubt she could pull antics of a woman rethinking a man's wardrobe in the same breadth as Ute Ploier.

    I'm keeping raised eyebrows on Sevigny most definitely.
