Alexa Chung Sitting Pretty for Elle UK's November 2010 Issue
Girl Crush – I’ll admit I was a bit thrown when a few friends asked me who the hell Alexa Chung even was after I posted this story about covering Teen Vogue’s Young Hollywood Red Carpet last month. Srsly? Ok, so here’s the abbreviated skinny: The stylish British expat found her way stateside to host MTV’s “It’s On with Alexa Chung” and the show was cancelled, yet she gained a cult following amongst the fashion set in return + a collection she just launched with Madewell. The refreshing thing is – she’s a bit reluctant, self-effacing and, from our quick convo on the red carpet, certainly doesn’t seem to be buying into her own hype. She’s also been quoted as saying, “I’m quite proud that geeky, asexual dressing has become cool. It’s good to promote a different look. It’s cooler to get something for a fiver in a charity shop, than spend five grand in Versace.”
Check out Elle UK’s behind-the-scenes VIDEO of their November issue photo shoot [below] to get a hint of Alexa’s disarming charm and I think you’ll soon be another Alexa Chung Plus One.
