Chopova Lowena presents its first-ever fairytale book dubbed Conversations with Angels. American star Chloë Sevigny is the star of the tale as the angelic muse behind the newly imagined version of The Snow Queen originally by Hans Christian Andersen. The book is written by Nigerian-American artist Precious Okoyomon and it sees Chloë Sevigny in a mystical world wearing the Fall/Winter 2023 collection by Chopova Lowena.
The images see these looks captured alongside London kids that aim to reflect the designer's beloved childhood story. Conversations with Angels imagines the traditional tale with a psychedelic twist, telling the story from an eerie angle that also has a touch of modernity to it. The cover sees Chloë Sevigny wearing a sheer white laced shirt with the wind in her hair.
