Chloë Sevigny Jokes She Needs to Have a Daughter 'Soon' to Pass Down Her Most Treasured Clothes

We all have those pieces that we’re holding onto in our closets. Whether for sentimental reasons or sartorial, there are always items that hold special meaning in some way or another. But Chloë Sevigny has so many pieces she’s saved from her childhood that she jokes she needs to have a daughter ASAP so she can hand them all down.

“I have pieces that I wore over and over again in high school. My collection is vast and exhaustive and a little embarrassing,” Sevigny tells Stewart. “Just all the pieces that I hold and think about what was happening when I was wearing them. The sense memory of that.”

She continues, “I still have the shirt I wore in the movieKids. I have the bunny ears I made forGummo. I have all kinds of weird articles from different characters I’ve played, photo shoots, events. My Oscar dress. It’s embarrassing. I better have a daughter soon or I don’t know what’s gonna happen.”

In the cover story, the two actresses also discuss Sevigny’s perception in Hollywood, especially when she was starting out. “Everyone was like, ‘You have to be more approachable. Hollywood thinks you’re too weird. You’re never going to get any parts.’ Meanwhile I was like, Johnny Depp gets to be weird! But it didn’t work for me.”

Stewart reassures her, “That’s why everyone else thinks you’re so cool, though.”

“Well now that’s acceptable,” Sevigny explains. “Now ‘weird’ is a brand. But before, it wasn’t. Before, you were telling Hollywood you didn’t want to be a part of it.”
