Chloë Sevigny on Designing Fucking Awesome’s First Women’s Clothing Line
Chloë Sevigny was initially skeptical of reissuing her Fucking Awesome skateboard. The 2014 deck, which bares Sevigny’s senior class portrait, is now worth upwards of $1,000 on EBay. “At first, I was like, ‘Oh, I don’t know,'” Sevigny tells WWD. “It was such a perfect thing and it existed in its own little bubble.” What sold her on the idea, though, was the prospect of creating the brand’s first-ever women’s collection. Chloë Sevigny x Fucking Awesome “For a while, the only skatewear you could ever get as a girl was like, a Thrasher panty,” Sevigny jibes. “I thought, ‘let’s do a sexy baby tee, let’s do a crop, let’s do a booty short with Fucking Awesome across the butt.'” Featuring a sparkly new version of her coveted skateboard deck, Sevigny’s capsule puts an edgy spin on back to school attire. Eyelet-trimmed tennis skirts, knit argyle vests and patch logo polo tees give the collection a uniform feel that still manages to honor the brand’s DIY roots. Even Sevigny’s skirt design is based on a garment she upcycled herself. “I actually sewed rows of eyelet onto a kilt because [stylist Haley Wollens] had cut it really short,” Sevigny explains.
