Sevigny, who is originally from Darien, Connecticut, credits her teenage weekends spent in neighboring New York City as a crucial early reprieve from her obscenely wealthy and staid upbringing.
When Sevigny was eighteen years old, a fashion editor for Sassy magazine happened to pass her on the street. The editors of the progressive teen magazine hired Sevigny as an intern after being impressed by her talent for street style.
This led to a few modeling opportunities with Sassy and X-Girl, the urban apparel label founded by Sonic Youth frontwoman Kim Gordon.
