My mother isn't particularly vain. Growing up with a parent who put emphasis on personality over looks was important.

My relationship with sartorial news is only what I like.

It was genuinely horrible. I stopped using Twitter for a while because I got so much s**t about being anorexic. And Im not.

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. You know, it doesn't look like a faceless model just wearing whatever. There's always personality that comes through. That was quite important for me to capture.

I didn't moisturise when I was younger, but when I got to 27 I decided to start slathering myself in oil, and now I'm obsessed with moisturising.

Looking effortless takes a lot of effort. When I get new Converse I dedicate some time at home to shoving mud on them so they don't look squeaky clean.
Alexa Chung
Image
I'm not preaching about things you should do, I'm not political or anything. I'm probably not the best role model.

I prefer using cream-based products on my skin. I love having that summery dewy skin - I like using cream blushers as well.

I'm terrified of being bored and not learning.

Thank you, Jane Birkin, for providing me with infinite outfit ideas and the confidence to dress like a boy but act like a girl.

Image
I don't ever want to stop learning. And I really want to learn French fluently. It would be great to go and live in France.

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.

English suspenders not American. Could you imagine? Just a pair of knickers and some suspenders. I don't know. How would you wear that? I think this is kind of a cute first date look. A mini sixties Ossie Clark inspired mini dress with a pair on your trotters.

I didn't mean to be a TV presenter, I just hated modeling. It feels very odd that it's turned into this 'It-girl' thing. What does that even mean? I wear clothes and I go out. It's so weird.
Alexa Chung
Image
I think Maje typifies that French vibe where it's simple items that are very practical, very wearable but also like incredibly chic and expensive-looking.

I'm really interested in photography, like every other human being.
Alexa Chung

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.

We've had distressed edges. We've had culottes. We've had high waisted jeans, we've seen the heralding of the new bootcut back again. I'm so sorry to say this to you, but the only way forward is ultra-hipsters, you know? Like super-low cut, low-rider jeans, to the extreme.
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.
Alexa Chung
Image
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.

Nobody goes through life without having their heart broken and one day you'll wake up and it'll be okay.
