SPREAD UM: Chloe Sevigny for ELLE, June 2009

Chloe Sevigny posed for an under-the-radar, but great editorial in the June 2009 issue of ELLE (Megan Fox cover).

While we’re all tired of reading that the secret to great style is mixing high and low, I always like seeing it in action, especially when Kate Lanphear is doing the styling.

Lanphear draws on a tamed-down ’80s supermodel aesthetic – in the Carrie-Bradshaw-wears-a-big-blazer-as-a-dress kind of way, and luckily not in a magenta spandex kind of way.  

Keeping the looks true to Chloe’s personal image, the spread mixes basics from American Apparel, The Gap, and Express, with pieces from Alexander Wang and 3.1 Phillip Lim.  Lanphear, typically heavy into accessorizing, decorates Chloe with luxury belts, detailed leather boots and bags, and statement jewelry.
