Filmed by her pals at Opening Ceremony, Chloe Sevigny walks us through her cluttered closet and explains the inspiration for her Resort 2012 OC collaboration, plus tells some tales from her fashion-filled life. The biggest takeaway? That she enjoys a good laugh especially if she’s the butt of the joke. Plus, she comes across as totally normal, kind of the opposite of all things Hollywood.

The ease  and casualness represented in the women’s looks for Wood Wood are  perfect for a Monday.  A certain  chic conveyed without trying to hard. Except for the hair which we have no comment about, to each his/her own  …

Released earlier today, enjoy Lady Gaga’s “Marry The Night.”

Helen Jennings and Oluchi

From Suno to Boxing Kitten and many others,  the African influence in fashion while not new has made itself more palpable in recent years. In tribute to the movement, Helen Jennings, editor of Arise, has put together a book titled New African Fashion, a glamorous reference to the buzz worthy style and artistic influence with roots in a very vast and diverse continent. Last night marked the New York launch of the book as well as the introduction of  Heritage 1960, an African lifestyle site and online shop. Hosted at the Parlor in SoHo, the intimate gathering  was a stylish and fun filled affair. On the next page a glimpes at attendees.

Titled’ Living well, Live well…’ the Spring/Summer 2012 Cantão collection exemplifies what can easily be seen as perfect  summer dressing. Geometric cutouts , swimwear details, fluid silhouettes that move away from the body conveying a sexy nonchalance we find irresistible. From the wooden beaded fishtail hem dress  opening the show  to the sporty choice of footwear every thing about this collection works. Some detailed shots on the flip.Enjoy!

H&M has released images of the collection designed in conjuntion with the movie Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. Nothing ground breaking and not meant to be–just plenty of everyday, affordable pieces you could wear down to the ground if this is a look that appeals.
