Alexa Chung debuts her collection for Madewell at New York Fashion Week

Alexa Chung’s fashionista status has just gone up (yes we didn’t think it was possible either).

The model turned TV presenter turned fashion designer presented her debut collection for US brand Madewell at New York fashion week yesterday.

Her designs, which included tea dresses and shorts were inspired by the 1960s and reflected Alexa’s own personal style, especially the grey socks worn with sandals. However our favourite part of the collection has got to be the cute denim dungaree dress.

Of her collection Alexa said: “[Madwell's] vision is kind of the same as mine. They like laid back styles, they like kind of relaxed clothes — classic, timeless things. So when they asked to collaborate, it was a perfect fit.”

We really hope a UK based retailer recognises Alexa’s talents soon because we’re itching to get our hands on some of her creations.
