Style Icon: Chloe Sevigny



Hello all and a very happy Thursday to you!

Chloe Sevigny has been a style icon for the fashion world since the 90's, often regarded as 'the coolest girl in the world', which is quite the statement to live up to, huh?

The actress who's starred in many the cult film from 'Kids', 'Boys Don't Cry' to 'Brown Bunny', now 41, still attains her cool/It Girl status so she must be doing something very right.

Sevigny has always adopted a style that states 'wear what you want and only what you want' and don't feel obliged to wear something just because everyone else is or fashion says that it is cool. It seems as Chloe went forth and did her own thing when it came to style, she was respected for it and as the 90's fashion revival rolls on, Chloe is as relevant to fashion than ever.

It's quite the challenge to deduce Sevigny's style down to a few describing words. She's not defined as a classic beauty and some say that doesn't have the sex appeal of Kate Moss (not sure I completely agree). But Chloe does have one thing, coolness. Back in the 90's, she had the ability to make the ugliest of clothes look incredible- whether that was a pair of wide-leg trousers or a sporty crop top.

In a way, she makes you want everything she wears, regardless of how outlandish it is even though you know that it could never look the same on you. She has the ability to make anything look cool.

Sevigny has always said that she has a love for 70's fashion and anything prairie. But she also has a soft spot for short shorts, a hat, exposed bras, fur and red lipstick.

Here are some of my favourite looks of hers below, enjoy and be inspired!

Photographers You Should Know About: Jamie Hawkesworth


Hello all, today I would like to share with you the work of a photographer of which I have been absolutely loving of late, that I think you guys should know about.

Preston-born Jamie Hawkesworth's approach to photography is one of subtlety and elegance, all with playful references to Britain's heritage. What I love about Jamie's work is the ability to take an  unglamourous subject and make it compelling and beautiful, for example Jamie's work which portrays the reality of life in the north of England. I find myself completely absorbed in Jamie's work through the use of dreamy almost surrealist colour contrast, sharpness and the use of brightness and shadow within each piece. 

His editorial commissions are published in Acne Paper, AnOther, Dazed & Confused, i-D, Love, Vogue amongst many other publications. Alongside this he has also created catalogue and campaign work for Alexander McQueen, J.W. Andersen, Loewe and Miu Miu. Jamie is definitely one to watch in the fashion world.

Here's some of my favourite pieces of his work below...

enjoy and be inspired!
