Chloë Sevigny Is The Snow Queen For Chopova Lowena

'Conversations with Angels'

This week, Chopova Lowena celebrated the launch of its third book, ‘Conversations with Angels’ at Bergdorf Goodman. The book, a modern interpretation of Han Christian Andersen’s classic 1844 fairtytale ‘The Snow Queen’, features ​​Chloë Sevigny as the titular character, with ethereal photography by Charlotte Wales and a modern retelling of the tale by London-born, New York-based poet Precious Okoyomon.

“Her tears fall to the ground making little snowflakes that look like iridescent bees

They drop at her feet and begin to fly around her head

Don’t cry little queen dry your pretty eyes and smile

Hold the present in your hands see the reflections of endless realities

Love will eat the fear”

Precious Okoyomon, excerpt from ‘Conversations with Angels’.

Shot in both New York and London, ‘Conversations with Angels’ showcases Chopova Lowena’s AW23 collection, named after the 1844 fairytale, which was inspired by ‘70s ski and Georgian era dress. 

We love creating books because it gives us a chance to completely express our vision in such a meaningful way. This one was such a special one, working with our long-time collaborator Charlotte Wales and the incredible Chloë Sevigny. We collaborated with an amazing creative team including Precious Okoyomon, Jamie Reid and Agata Belcen to bring the story to life. It was so exciting to work with Chloë on Conversations with Angels, we are huge fans of her work and it was a dream to work with her.” Emma Chopova & Laura Lowena.

“Chopova Lowena creates pieces that are punky, glitzy, graphic and childlike so I was excited to be part of their fairytale project ‘Conversations with Angels.’ Along with the whimsical photography from Charlotte Wales, it was wonderful to work with Emma and Laura on this book and I think we’ve made something really special.” said Chloë Sevigny.

Chopova Lowena’s AW23 collection and ‘Conversations with Angels’ are both available now.
