Alexa Chung is a supremely talented TV presenter and model with an already impressive list of credits given her short time on screen.
Currently based in New York, Chung recently fronted her own show for MTV. The magazine style show, It’s On With Alexa Chung, replaced the hugely popular TRL. Attracting A-list stars such as Shakira, Alicia Keys, Gerard Butler, Cameron Diaz, Jack Black, Jim Carrey, Adam Sandler, P Diddy and Blink 182 to her sofa every week, Alexa wowed audiences and executives alike over two successful series.
Often referred to as a global style icon, Alexa has appeared on the covers of Harpers Bazaar and ELLE in the UK, Jalouse in France and WWD in America. Following on from her successful column for The Independent newspaper, Alexa has also been made a contributing editor for British Vogue, where she has already graced the cover.
Before leaving the UK in May, she presented several high profile shows, including Frock Me, where she joined hot, young designer Henry Holland. The series had a fast-paced, spontaneous magazine format, each week exploring a youth culture trend from the worlds of fashion and music and linking celebrity guests, bands, regular guests and VT’s together.
Fashion-wise, Alexa has been featured in campaigns for DKNY and Pepe Jeans and has recently launched a collection for Madewell in the US, which has been acclaimed by Anna Wintour, garnering as much attention as the existing top brands during NY fashion week.
She has many more covers and campaigns in the pipeline. She won the 'Editors Choice' award at the recent Elle Style Awards and was number one in UK Vogue's best-dressed list of the year, beating the likes of Kate Moss and Emma Watson.
Her next TV project promises to continue her domination as the main UK style icon.
