Alexa Chung has a beautiful face and a pair of long legs, so the 28-year-old started her career as a model. Recently she appears in a shoot for Vero Moda. The shoot, which is her second for the Danish label, took place shot on the streets of Williamsburg, Brooklyn where she currently resides.
She poses in highlights from the spring/summer collection, which includes heart-print frocks and cardigans, Peter Pan-collar blouses and festival-friendly denim and parkas. Clearly at ease in front of the camera, she has worked each shot with her signature style and quirkiness.
Flat-out: Even in mannish-lace-up brogues, the ex-model’s legs are enviably slim. She wears flowers frock and shinning crystal necklaces. The bijou jewellery and dress made her a vintage beauty.
Unsurprisingly, Vero Moda is thrilled with the finished shoot. The label’s PR, Katja Hundrup explained why she believes the star’s style is so imitated the world over. She told the Telegraph: ‘She knows her fashion references and is able to combine high-end designer items with high street and vintage in a unique way, putting personality into whatever she wears.’
Of course Vero Moda is not the first brand to harness Miss Chung’s vintage-led, tomboyish style. The leggy Brit proved that she is more than just a beautiful face when she designed a collection for Madewell. The last limited-edition line was so successful, the retailer’s website crashed when it went on sale to the public. Miss Chung’s newest show, 24-Hour Catwalk, sees her mentor four designers competing to create an entire catwalk collection in the space of a single day.
