Chloe Sevigny

At age 17, Chloe Sevigny was spotted on an East Village street by Andrea Linett, a fashion editor of Sassy magazine, who was so impressed by her style that she asked her to model for the magazine.

She was later made an intern. When recounting the event, Sevigny recalled that Linnett ”just liked the hat I was wearing.”

I’ve done it in everyday life. Everybody’s done it, or had it done to them. It was tough, the toughest thing I’ve ever done, but Vincent was very sensitized to my needs, very gentle. It was one take. It was funny and awkward—we both laughed quite a bit. And we’d been intimate in the past, so it wasn’t so weird. If you’re not challenging yourself and taking risks, then what’s the point of being an artist?
