BTS Archive: Alexa Chung

Sometimes I wish my opinions were different, but alas, I am who I am. I’m glad that a star chose to wear a piece from Christopher Kane‘s challenging, futuristic collection to a heavily photographed public event, and I’m proud of Alexa Chungfor having the cojones to do it, but I wish she had picked something long for an event as formal as the 2011 Met Gala. Yeah, I said it. And I’m not entirely happy with myself. The Met Gala provides an opportunity to wear dramatic, over-the-top looks that might [...]

Of all the It Girls in the fashion and pop culture worlds at the moment, Alexa Chung has always struck me as the one with the most accessible personal style. She doesn’t wear the kinds of things that can only be had at a designer boutique or that can only be worn by a very particular and difficult-to-maintain body type, and because of that, it seems as though lots of women have embraced her as well as her various collaborations, such as the very well-received Madewell capsule collection on which [...]

Nothing has the power to bring out the stars like front-row seats at a really great fashion show, and year after year, Chanel is always one of the best. Of course, when starlets attend these events, they almost always pull out their best looks from that brand to make sure that they look the part. For Keira Knightly and Lily Allen, I’m sure that wasn’t too hard – both have been the face of one party of the company or another over the past few years, and being in favor [...]

Since ex-model, TV presenter and Mulberry Alexa namesake Alexa Chung is more or less a walking, talking, apparently quite nice (according to a friend of a friend, but I believe it) trend machine, it shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone that she’s carrying one of Fall’s most fad-tastic accessories: a leopard-print bag. The two were bound to collide at one point or another. What also shouldn’t surprise you is that she chose one from Russell & Bromley, a British label without a wide international following that makes somewhat reasonably [...]

Even if you’re like my and have never seen Alexa Chung on TV or in the pages of any magazines that I’ve bought, you’re probably still aware of who she is. I know that I am, despite my lack of consumption of Alexa-related media. The important thing for handbag fans to know, however, is that she’s the namesake of the super trendy Mulberry Alexa Satchel. Since Alexa is British and Mulberry is the go-to brand of almost every British starlet I can think of, it only makes sense that the [...]

Taylor Momsen Versace 7

I’m still only nominally aware of Alexa Chung‘s existence, but everything that I’ve read about her has indicated to me that she’s a person that I’d probably enjoy. She’s British, after all, and that automatically makes her cooler than I am. But you know what seals the deal for me? The look that she’s giving frownie-faced Taylor Momsen in this photo. There’s no better way to poke fun at an angsty sourpuss than by being preternaturally cheerful. But I must say, I enjoy both of their equally divergent yet stylish [...]

Alexa Chung Mulberry 2

I’m not sure that I’ve ever encountered this Alexa Chung person on television, which probably means that I’m getting old. But that’s ok, I have the internet to keep me up to date. I’ve certainly heard of her before, but just now I had to consult Wikipedia to find out exactly why. She hosts her own show on MTV, which is awesome, and she just seems to be a fairly cool young woman in general. I say well done, Alexa! And well done on the awesome leather biker jacket as [...]
