It Girl Alexa Chung talks fashion and style icons.
On leading rather than following trends, Alexa said: “I don’t believe in trends. I’m drawn to things I love and have my own perennial choices. For example, mini-dress, mannish shirts, black skinny jeans and ankle boots.”
The 28-year-old fashionista puts her own spin on looks by mixing feminine and masculine elements for a ready-to-rock look. The model for Danish high street brand Vero Moda said: “I’m going to style Vero Moda’s flapper dress with boots and opaque tights for an every-day look.”
You won’t catch her in high heels and a mini-dress. Alexa said: “I usually don’t go for dressing things up as I like to dress things down, hence the boots and opaques which would be very simple. But if i were to dress up the flapper dress it would be with a statement cocktail ring, ballet pumps and a ribbon in my hair.”
On art-rock inspiration when styling herself, Alexa said: “These are the people who inspire me: Keith Richards, Anita Pallenburg, George Harrison, Kurt Cobain, Marianne Faithful, Alice in Wonderland, Minnie Mouse, Grayson Perry.”
