Chloe Sevigny, The Early Years

Something for the magazine addicts out there to consider:

Before Chloe Sevigny was a Ben Cho muse, a Big Love star, or Beatrice Inn regular, she was Sassy's first fashion intern!

Chloe worked under Andrea Linnett, who's now the creative director of Lucky. Andrea photographed Chloe's every move, turned her outfits into fashion spreads, and eventually had Jay McInerny proclaim her an "It Girl" in the 1993 fashion issue of The New Yorker. She was seventeen years old, with no stylist and virtually no clothing budget.

The proof? This vintage spread from a 1992 Sassy, which features the indie style icon wearing homemade hats and skater socks.

Maybe she really is born with it...

She's so beautiful when she lets out a real smile!

Now that I have seen these, I don't think I have ever seen a picture of her with a genuine smile.

chloe has so much fashion cred it hurts. have you seen the video where she goes off on the origins of the high-waist jean? she's way more knowledgeable than most fashion editors i know, not to mention more stylish.

ohmigod, I totally remember this!
I knew there was a reason I've worshipped Chloe from the get-go....because of Sassy!

Wow, this is fabulous! It's so neat to be able to look back on stuff like this... she's come a long way from running office errands!

She really reminds me of (singer) Katy Rose in that bottom left picture... and now that I look at it I think she looks a lot like Evan Rachel Wood as well.

I agree with an above comment - it's so refreshing to see her smiling!

I totally remember this! The moment I laid eyes on it was the moment my Chloe worshiping began.

Born with what? A penchant for looking deranged?

I so remember this issue! Didn't she also do a feature on making a mini shift dress from a pillowcase? I always wanted to try that project...
