I think the challenges that come with the responsibility of art directing something is something that appeals to me.

I would say probably Paris [Hilton]. Because to me that's her in character and she kind was always sort of winking at the camera. There was satire I think involved in what she was doing. I like to think there was.

I'm not 100% nice all the time, so I find it quite hard to be really pleasant.
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.

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.

It's shot by Ben Rayner who I think is very talented at doing portrait photography as well as fashion photography. His images never look like a model.

Clothes are about manipulations: how I feel, how I want to feel and how I want others to feel about me.

My relationship with sartorial news is only what I like.
Alexa Chung
Image
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.

I think there's more room for different representations of women within fashion imagery.

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.

My look is pretty low maintenance, I have a great team around me for hair and make-up, and they have also taught me some great tricks over the years for when I'm doing my own.

The idea of giving someone something that I got, that makes me feel sad.

I can never say a line someone else has given me, which is why script meetings on TV shows always go terribly for me.

I'm terrified of being bored and not learning.

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.

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.
