In Spring 2008, Opening Ceremony launched an ongoing design collaboration with actress and style icon, Chloë Sevigny. Inspired by nostalgia for her early days in New York, high school thrift store finds, and music by Depeche Mode, the line featured body-conscious gingham check skirts, mesh jersey party dresses, and floral prints from the renowned textile maker, Liberty's of London.

Opening Ceremony brought together emerging American talent along with both young and established designers and artists from abroad.

In Fall 2009, Chloë Sevigny continues her collaboration by designing a line of her favorite menswear pieces. The unisex collection looks very comfy, simple, modern and classy-chic at the same time.

And this isn't the end of her work with Opening Ceremony. She wants to continue designing for them, but would also consider other projects. Maybe I'd do a very small collection for one of the big luxury brands, she said. But right now, Opening Ceremony is right - we have a shared aesthetic.

Chloë Sevigny made her film debut with a leading role in the controversial 1995 Kids, which was the beginning of a line of roles in critically acclaimed independent films in which she starred in throughout the past decade. It wasn't until 1999 that Sevigny gained serious critical recognition for her first mainstream role in Boys Don't Cry. For her performance in this film, Sevigny received Oscar and Golden Globe nominations for Best Supporting Actress.

Chloë Sevigny is one of the best fashion icons who inspires me a lot. She has a strong personality, a great sense of humor, a fancy side and I admire her professional choices. Most admirable of all, she has her own style philosophy.
