Chloë Sevigny was one of the original cool girls of the 1990s, and her influence on 90s fashion and style can still be seen today. In this video, we look back at Chloë Sevigny in the 90s, from her early days in New York and the downtown indie scene to her rise as an actress, fashion icon and style inspiration. Known for her distinctive 90s style, Chloë became closely associated with the alternative fashion scene and a more individual approach to getting dressed. From her early modelling work and appearances in fashion magazines to her film career, street style and collaborations with designers, Chloë Sevigny helped define what the 90s cool girl looked like. Her style was a mix of vintage, designer pieces, thrifted finds and unexpected combinations that felt very different from the polished celebrity style of the time. Looking back at Chloë Sevigny’s 90s fashion gives us a glimpse into New York’s downtown culture, indie fashion and the changing idea of what it meant to be a style icon. A look back at Chloë Sevigny, 90s fashion, 90s style and the original cool girl era.
