It’s Fash-ON with Alexa Chung!

She may have been a model before she became the quirky presenter we all know and love, but we doubt even Miss Chung saw her rise to superstar fashion status coming. And in this spread in V magazine it’s easy to see why she’s taken us Brits, and now America where she's set to front a DKNY jeans campaign this season, by storm. Wearing an array of Chanel, Dolce and Gabbana, and the Stella McCartney lace jumpsuit Stella herself wore to the MET ball this year, Alexa looks every inch the supermodel in the photos taken by Sharif Hamza.

But while we may have lost her to the other side of the pond, we know where her heart is as we constantly spot her out and about in European labels including Charles Anastase and Acne. Hell, Mulberry even named a bag after her. They obviously love her as much as we do. And, beautiful as she may look, it’s nice to see Alexa hasn’t lost her feisty side. On her new life in Brooklyn, she tells V, “I just don’t tolerate douche bags. You get them in England too, those people who just sort of hang out and hold coats or something. But there’s more of them here. It’s like they make jobs as friends, like your best friend is your stylist now.” Alexa Chung, we salute you.
