Born In Flames

Did you guys know that I am a reformed Chloe hater? I hain’t proud of it but it’s true. It may have something to do with the fact that EVERY boyfriend of mine in the 90s had a total bone on for her. It may be the weirdly absent, anodyne characters she played in her early films that functioned solely as ciphers for the pervy Lolita fantasies of the male leads. It may have been her association with Harmony Korine, who just seems like the most tiresome, self-satisfied phony artist asshole on the whole entire planet to me.

But like now? I just love her. She’s adorable and always perfectly tan and her collections are getting better every season and she seriously will not take a role these days unless she gets to play a total prig, but in real life she can and does out-party any 20 year old, and I love those glasses she wore in Zodiac, and she’s just this awesome, cool girl who’s running around, following her own weird whims and being great at everything she does.

I’m 15 years too late but I give. I fuckin love you, Chloe. Here she is taking a bow last night at her first-ever runway show, and I am so happy for her.

Her very first Fancy Dress at her very first runway show, I feel so proud!

I’m so excited for the Vision Streetwear collaboration! In the 90s all you needed was a skateboard, one of those dumb Christian Slater wedge cuts, and a Vision Streetwear shirt, and panties would just drop for you everywhere you went.

I love how she’s wearing stuff from her old collection (this dress, and the shoes she wore at the finale). It’s so gauche to wear your own brand new shit at the runway presentation, it’s like the fashion equivalent of buying a t-shirt and changing into it at the show.

ZOMG YOU WERE THERE? Gonna need close-ups on the lace details on the white pinafore dresses, all the shoes, and maybe a pic of Chloe’s hair too please. Hell, just bring them all when you come visit! ;)

He gives good gown too. Definitely one to watch.

Stop endlessly asking ‘what do women want’ and just give us cute prints on a swishy pleated dress.

The stomping, the wearing of black, the defiantly jutted chin, the swinging of small metal purse. I’m just getting such good fashion bestie vibes from this.

I like this a lot. The long-sleeve minidress is an eternal weakness of mine, and I had a brief fascination with the Harlequin print in 2008, but there were so many other fashion obsessions floating around my head at that time (Cabaret, the circus, tie dye and docs [lol]) that I never feel this print got its due. This is making me wanna try again.
