Chloe Sevigny Hates Fashion Shows
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Shows,
Chloe Sevigny hates going to fashion shows.
The Gummo actress doesn't like to attend high fashion events because she is not comfortable being around people she deems to be "popular kids."
"I don't enjoy going to fashion shows. It's very high school, it's very 'the most popular kids in the front row,' and everybody's checking everybody else out, and you have to do all this press and get your picture taken. It's not fun for me - it's work."
Stylish Chloe claims she goes to shows in order to support her friends, or if she is "getting paid." Ironically Chloe, 37, initially made her name through her unique sense of style. "My style helps me make a lot of money, so it's kind of important. It's kind of a hobby. I like getting dressed, I like putting myself together. I admire people who put a little effort into their style. But as far as my face in the industry, it has been pretty lucrative for me. I think that those companies are interested in me because I don't work with a stylist - it's me, myself, it's my personal style. They can sense that," she added.

Marios Schwab on pressures of being Halston Creative Director
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Fashion Designers, News,
Marios Schwab says becoming creative director of Halston is a “huge challenge”. The designer was announced as the newest addition to the label earlier this week, and revealed he is thrilled to be joining the firm.
He said: “Of course I feel the pressure. It’s a huge challenge but fashion at the moment needs innovation. I would be hesitant to do just one thing - it’s important to be able to create and be open-minded. It’s a dream - to bring your creative force to a different brand. I love Halston. We share a very similar frame of simplicity and elegance as well as the technical approach. I’ve been an admirer for a long time.”
Marios added he plans to build on the firm’s reputation for working with strong women, but will also be pushing its aesthetic forward. He added, “For me, the brand is very well known for the women it dressed - Bianca Jagger was a favourite Halstonette - capturing a decadence and glamour. I want to embrace this. But paying homage is one thing but you need to bring it to the future. A modern view point is what I want to give - it’s crucial for future success.”
Marios will be moving to New York to take up his new position, but plans to keep working on his eponymous label - of which Kate Moss, Kylie Minogue and Chloe Sevigny are fans - in London. He said: “I love the thought of having two fashion metropolises. London is amazing inspiration and New York is an interesting place to be - it’s important what comes out of them.”
