Stamp of Approval: Chloë Sevigny for Opening Ceremony!

For years, I've sung her praises as not only an indie-film goddess (the movie Kids is actually an all-time fave of mine,) but a true style maven. She's actually pretty fabulous when she's not playing one-third of some sick, Mormon, love triangle. I mean, her quirky sense of style is both artsy, and chic-- much like her current neighborhood (the East Village.) And the day I discovered she showed up to some WASPy soirée in the same adorable J. Crew dress that became an instant fave of all my Summer frocks, I nearly died!

Ah, but anyways, the fabulous Miss. Sevigny's highly-anticipated Spring capsule collection hits stores today. She cites her "yuppie years" as a high school student in Connecticut as her chief inspiration. So, what does that mean? Very '80s, very hip. Her only qualm? She wishes the price point was a little lower (stating that she would've liked "high school girls" to be able to afford it.) But unfortunately, she went with Liberty of London for her screening-- and as anybody who's familiar with 'em can tell you, they don't work for peanuts. I think my only qualm about this whole thing is that due to prior commitments (aka schoolwork,) I cannot join in the festivities today. Although I'm hearing that her party tonight is expected to steal the thunder from even Marc Jacobs' legendary post-show parties! Well, not to fret, maybe I'll go shopping tomorrow...

Actually, I saw it at the Opening Ceremony store and thought it was a bit underwhelming. It was mostly comprised of black and white check print stuff that was priced at over $300. The price points didn't really match the material. At $100, maybe, but $300? I felt like she was insulting the consumer!
