Alexa Chung dishes on style at the Foundry opening on Melrose
Quote:
British fashionista Alexa Chung made an appearance in Los Angeles on Friday to host the opening of the new Foundry boutique on Melrose Avenue. [...]

We caught up with Chung, who was recently appointed a British Fashion Council Young Style Ambassador, while she shopped the store's collections in Aussie label Lover's gray lace dress and a pair of gold dusted Marc Jacobs flats. As she smoked a cig and playfully cursed in that manner only acceptable by those with a British accent, she dished on her favorite up-and-coming designers, must haves for fall and her personal style.

ATR: Who are some of your favorite emerging designers?

AC: Antipodium is a brand from London, and they are actually the first people to lend me clothes without asking questions when I started. I would be like "Hey, can I borrow this and people would be like, no." Whereas they were really sweet so I actually did a campagin for them a couple of years ago. They are really nice and they do really brilliant, really wearable things. Their prints are always amazing. They just did this bunny house print, which is unexpected but in classic shapes.

I just found out about Samantha Pleet. Am I really behind the times? I didn’t know her that well but she’s got lovely things in there [Foundry]. It’s kind of reminiscent of Christopher Kane but, um, perhaps more feminine. That’s really lovely.

Tracy Watts is a really amazing hat designer. I always want to wear a hat, especially at festivals -- it’s always good to cover up the sweaty grease that happens. And traditionally I go to Mock and Co., which is a classic British place but I went to a French shop in New York the other day and I found this Tracy Watts lady and she’s ... awesome.

ATR: What are you coveting right now?

AC: I really want that Prada bag with the flowers on it. I don’t know, do you think that is going to be like a good investment or it will be like... [shrugs shoulders]? The thing is I’m always loath to buy things that are very specific of one collection, but I really like it.

ATR: What's the one item you can't live without?

AC: I have like a boy’s vintage army jacket which weirdly goes with everything. Same with a motorcycle jacket, you know, when you just wear it all the time. But, yeah, this army jacket I got from Stella Dallas in New York, this vintage shop, and it’s pretty good. You can wear it with, like, jeans and a boy outfit or equally if you’re wearing a feminine dress. I really like how it sits with that. So that’s the one at the moment, but I’m very fickle about change. I’m as changeable as the wind.

ATR: What are your favorite beauty products?

AC: I really like talking about beauty products because I’m not affiliated with any brand so I feel like I don’t have to [mislead] anyone. I really like Stila, they have really amazing convertible color pots. It’s like a blusher. I use it as a blusher and a lipstick as well. And Chanel liquid liner, it’s like my go-to.

ATR: How would you describe your personal style?

AC: All I know is I always want to be able to, like, climb a tree. Nothing that makes you too vulnerable. In a way it’s kind of power dressing, not in an '80s shoulder pad sense but like I want to be taken seriously. I do think there is a way of dressing how you want to portray yourself. I don’t like looking too much like a dolly bird. I mean I like dressing like this for a nighttime event but on TV I want people to listen to what I’m saying and trust my opinion, so that’s always played into it. I also just generally feel more comfortable in trousers and like stuff you can sit in without flashing your knickers. I guess dressing for men has never really been on the agenda, but it sort of has as well.

So many contradictions in that last answer. Dressing to be taken seriously? Preferring trousers to skirts?? Hmmm..

I didn't like her part on Gossip Girl, firstly she didn't look pretty and secondly her role was irrelevant....they could have done so much more with her....

Man I love that last look. I agree it's very Birkin-esque. The shoes are probably my favorite part though. And for once her hair looks tolerable.

The shoes actually ruin it for me, I think it needed a heel, even (can't believe I'm saying this) her favorite heeled Mary Janes. The outfit is indeed gorgeous.

ETA: Ah, not an original look, straight from the Versus runway.

I love the outfit with flats myself, as it tones it down a little, and her hair looks beautiful there.

That's the thing about her hair; sometimes it looks fabulous and other times just bad.
