London Fashion Week is so different from any of the others. Compared to the strictness in New York, London seems freer from commercial constraints. Truer to the process, to street style, to a sense of humour.

At school, a careers adviser asked me what I wanted to be, and I said 'fashion journalist,' so writing for 'Vogue' has provided me with the opportunity to fulfill a dream.

As soon as that was kind of green-lit, it became very obvious to me what I wanted to do and it was an instinctive reaction to my relationship with how I wear my Ugg boots. Which is in London and in New York, I wear them as soon as I get in basically.

I've got an allergy to looking too neat.

If I'm doing my hair myself, I just wash it and let it naturally dry. I'm actually quite good at doing hair if I wear it up I usually do it myself.

I think it's every girl's dream, a little bit, to be a model because it seems from the outside to be a glamorous industry and I was really into fashion, and I remember just being excited and wanting to be part of that.

It's funny because I think that both France and Britain are known for their distinctive styles and everyone says that France is so chic and elegant but I think more than that French women are renowned for dressing in what suits them.

Stick to the classics, and you can't ever go wrong. I see old ladies on the street who have fabulous style and realize it's because they are probably wearing really classic items that they've had for years and years. I think if you find something that suits you, you should just stick to it.

I'm very selfish! I'm only thinking about how I would look in clothes, and not how we as a society might appear in those clothes.

Image
I can never say a line someone else has given me, which is why script meetings on TV shows always go terribly for me.
Alexa Chung
Image
I'm interested in aesthetics, in the way things look, in finding something in an image that maybe people haven't seen.
Alexa Chung
Image
I tend to splurge on fancy dresses because I always think I'll get a lot of wear out of them, but it's false logic. You should really spend more money on the things you wear every day, like jeans.

My relationship with sartorial news is only what I like.

My father taught me how to draw horses - for this I shall be eternally grateful.

I think it's about time people stopped judging women on their appearance and more on their intellect. Like you can appreciate my style without having to appreciate my weight. It's not actually mutually exclusive. I just get frustrated because just because I exist in this shape doesn't mean that I'm like advocating it.

The chihuahua and the pink velour track suit. I think it's kind of an iconic look.

I get a lot of fashion gifts, but rarely do I get something that's just fun.

The problem with heartbreak is that nobody can help you when you're heartbroken. Nobody and nothing. Not the films you watch alone desperately searching for a character who feels the way you do, not the glasses or bottles of whisky you keep by your bed and certainly not Instagram.
