chloe and the capsule closet concept

At the risk of sounding like a ubiquitous "celebrities; they're just like us!" tabloid article, it's both refreshing and endearing to see Chloe Sevigny getting so much enjoyment out of all of her Chloe pieces.

Granted, if I had a pair of Chloe scalloped shorts, then damn right I'd be wearing them everyday (how else would they become cost-effective?) but when somebody who is high enough up the "fashion ladder" to get a collections worth for free still can't bare to take them off, well, it warms the cockles of my heart!


Ms Sevigny looks radiant in every case (With the possible exception of the last image, taken at the Big Love press conference last month, only because she opted to pay homage to her Mormon character's hair) and as she has said in the past, she has been sticking to the legs-on-show formula which makes the most of her best feature(s).

Though it's nice to see a little variety, there is something about the (self) styling of these recent outings that harks back to that idea of a capsule wardrobe. Having 12 pieces of so, that you know work well for you and just remixing them each time with a couple of different pairs of shoes. It depends what kind of person you are, as I wonder if in truth I'd get sick of such a routine. Maybe the "capsule closet concept" is purely a fashion editor's gimmick; a way of persuading us to buy those £700 Yves Saint Laurent as part of our 'refined collection'? A way of reasoning with us to buy a designer piece that otherwise would have an intolerable price tag.
