Chloë Sevigny Sold Her Old Clothes, and People Came in Droves
For a certain kind of fashion fiend, it was a dream: shop the actress Chloë Sevigny’s closet, with her present.
Ms. Sevigny, lauded as a fashion influencer and enthusiast, held a sale on Mother’s Day in a studio space in the NoHo neighborhood of Manhattan. Customers had the chance to buy items from Ms. Sevigny’s own wardrobe, Academy New York, pieces she had designed with Opening Ceremony, and costumes from various roles.
“I decided to properly care for or store some things in Los Angeles,” said Ms. Sevigny, who wore a black Comme des Garçons shirtdress and Manolo Blahnik slides. “And then there was a lot left over and I was like, you know what, I’m 48, I’m a mother, there’s a lot of stuff I don’t want to wear anymore. This is a big purge to pay for a few years of storage, give a chunk to a charity and pay for some more storage.”
The event was organized by Liana Satenstein, a former Vogue writer whose “Schmatta Shrink” service helps fashionistas clear out their closets and has evolved into a video series called Never Worns, where she tells the stories behind those clothes.
