And she wants you to keep doing it with her latest Fucking Awesome skate collection
But as I learned while on a Zoom call with the actor the other week, while we were both vacationing miles apart in Cape Cod, she often sees people wearing her face in New York—and she’s very into it. The exact words she used were “I love it."Seeing unfamiliar faces wearing her face is also partially what inspired her most recent collection with Fucking Awesome. Back in 2014, the skate brand issued a pink skateboard deck with Sevigny’s shaved-head high school portrait on it.
As someone who has never had anyone wear their face, I asked Sevigny what it is actually like to see so many people wearing hers. “The other day my husband said, ‘Wow, there’s lots of clothing with your face on it,’” she said. When they went to see electronic band Salem in Coney Island a few weeks ago, she saw more than a handful of those pieces in person. Seeing them made her “very excited for a resurgence of the Fucking Awesome decks and to see them skating,” she said.
Do I go up to them? Or do I just leave them alone? Would it be exciting to them? Or am I being an asshole?Despite existing in the periphery of skate culture for decades, Sevigny admitted to barely knowing how to skate, although she said she did ride to Kim’s Video & Music on First Avenue in the East Village to rent films with director Harmony Korine back in the ’80s. She became interested in skate culture thanks to her older brother.
While she insisted she doesn’t really have her “finger on the pulse” of the current skating universe, at 48 years old, she’s somehow still at the center of it. Earlier today, Fucking Awesome posted an Instagram Story of security footage of a teen stealing a poster of Sevigny’s high school portrait that had been plastered on the brand’s New York store window.
It feels obvious to me why he would want it so badly. Sevigny’s face represents the ineffable coolness that used to permeate the streets of New York. And despite being able to purchase it—at least in the form of a T-shirt or skate deck—you’ll never be able to replicate what it represents. Unless maybe, you steal it.The new collection is available now at
