Sixteen years later, Chloe Sevigny, the 37-year-old actress, follows actress Mia Wasikowska as the new face of Miu Miu’s fall 2012 ad campaign, shot by Mert Alas & Marcus Piggot.
In the new images Sevigny sports an androgynous look as she presents the label’s bold and colorful Fall/Winter 2012 creations. The collection itself is evocative of the psychedelic atmosphere of 1970′s with major references to 60′s Mod culture now carpeted luxuriously. The woman Chloe represents is one of a provocative personality – she’s seductive, but not in the sense you expect her to be. The rules she abides by are her own – if she has any rules, to say. The intimate setting alongside the structured yet effortless pose provides us with the notion of today’s cultural climate. The mixtures of decades and sub-cultures alike.
16 years ago, Juergen Teller shot her for the brand in one of her first major modeling gigs. Here, she’s sporting a similar haircut but a much more maximalist Miu Miu aesthetic.
Chloe Sevigny and Director Chris D’Arienzo: The SXSW Interview
Barry Munday is a fun, kooky comedy and it even stars Billy Dee Williams. How could you not want to see this film?
And if you can, listen to the audio interview. There’s much more that I didn’t include.
What spoke to you in the novel?
Chris: I mean, the characters were really specific and human, they weren’t traditional romantic comedy characters. They were flawed and their flaws were really naked. And I just really liked that. When I read it, there was a way to do this that was kind of in the spirit of comedies that I really love. Movies like Harold and Maude or The Graduate that are just kind of –
Chloe, one of the first lines in your film is, “I’m a slut.” So, I’m wondering what it is about the character and the role that attracted you to this?
Chloe: I think it was more the overall project than the character. I think everybody involved and meeting Chris and talking about the film and what he wanted to do with it. And kind of his references to other films that he loved, the kind of movie that he wanted to make. I’ve never been in a comedy, a straight up comedy before, so that of course attracted me to the project.
Chloe: I have to say it was the calmest set I have ever been on. And one of the funniest. I mean, everybody was so relaxed. So mellow, and everybody got along. I was like, ‘What the hell is going on? Are we making a movie here? Shouldn’t there be tension? Shouldn’t people be screaming about getting the shot?’ We did minimal takes and minimal set ups. It was really nice. Really laid back.
