Editorial Reviews

Style setting is what Alexa Chung does. The model/Fuse News co-host not only won the British Style Award in 2011, 2012, and 2013; he also frequently graces the covers of Vogue, Elle, and Harper Bizarre. Her apparently flawless fashion sense has made her a favorite of designers on both sides of the Atlantic and her "What I'm Wearing Today" photo blog has become a designated stop for her growing army of admirers. In It, she raids her desk and laptop to give us a distinctive collage of words, drawings, and photographs on all things Alexa; from clothing choices to random thoughts on life, music, and love. Charming, just as we expected. Now in trade paperback.

Fashion muse, model, Fuse News cohost, and British “it girl” Chung’s first book is heavy on style and charm but light on substance. She brings would-be admirers (and current fans who follow her on street style blogs and social media) into her world with this combined style guide, memoir, and scrapbook. Filled with doodles, personal photos, lists, and discussions of her sources of inspiration, Chung lightly sketches a portrait of her universe in an engaging voice. The majority of the book is given to random musings about fashion, with Chung naming Annie Hall, Gwyneth Paltrow in the The Royal Tenenbaums, and Edie Sedgwick as just a few of her influences. Of Paltrow’s portrayal of Margot Tenenbaum, Chung muses, “I love her side-parted bob and preppy Lacoste dresses.” Elsewhere in the book, Chung offers odd pronouncements, such as, “How to rage: Get a balloon and a best friend. Go to a festival in a desert. Be 24.” Die-hard fans will no doubt embrace this slim, whimsical offering, or delight in receiving it as a gift. 149 photos, 17 illus. Agent: Paul Stevens, Independent Talent. (Nov.)
