Behind the Cover Story With
since Alexa Chung was first discovered, she has spun a successful modeling career into being a sought-after presenter for radio and television programs on fashion and music; penned the book It; and continues to inspire designers worldwide with her uniquely British wit and style—a combination of crisp tailoring and rock-and-roll swagger, with a ruffle or kitten heel thrown in for good measure. In 2017 Chung launched her own label, AlexaChung, a tightly edited line that draws on her eclectic influences—from David Bowie to Victorian wallpapers to 1960s housewives—which she deftly distills down to singular looks everyone wants to be wearing. Last month, she returned to TV as cohost of the highly addictive Netflix series Next in Fashion, alongside Queer Eye’s Tan France

“I took inspiration for our wall paint from a pair of Celine trousers in my dream green. I tried to identify the exact shade and was told it’s made up of three different strands of color, so it’s impossible to replicate in paint. I’m pleased with what we came up with in the end. It has the right amount
of yellow going on.”
“I was in Paris recently, and I realized that the way we describe color is boring compared to over there. In couture, they have names for things and pride themselves on really identifying the color. It’s always something romantic; like lilac is ‘soft dove plume.’”
“This Virgina poster was created by my friend Illy Jankovich for a collection I did based on the Bloomsbury group and Charleston House.”
“ABC Carpet & Home is fantastic;
I could spend my life there. Future Perfect is a brilliant shop, too. And I have a
weird cushion addiction that I blame
John Derian for.”
“I draw the same head every day.
I don’t know whose damn head it is,
but if I ever meet the person, it will
be very weird.”
“I think the office is eclectic in the way that my style is. So it’s a mixture of classic (floorboards) but with unexpected things thrown in (lots of vintage).”
