Alexa Chung

i agree, i think kate dresses like crap too and her designs aren't so hot. certainly not worth the hooplah and praise she gets

for me 'style' has alot to do with the attitude/impression/vibe i get from the person...(maybe it would change if i met them in person) but i dont get any from Alexa...or Kate...i do get it from Sienna though...

sienna dresses like crap, i don't see how people can call her a style icon. alexa doesn't really do anything new at all and i don't see her as a style icon either. i think she just dresses the way she wants and her style will probably change, which is normal.

i think you're right, sienna used to have this fabulous boho style, not looking "i try too hard", but nearly one year ago, after she did factory girl, her style started looking over the top and no-stylish at all, she came with those really tacky extensions..so ugly, i mean she just picks up a lovely dress and some ankle boots most of the time and thats nothing like what she used to be, even her hair looks worse than before, something about her isnt the same, in the other hand, i think alexa has a "london street" style, and i love how she pull it off, shes got a great sense of style, shes not a fashion icon of course u can tell that, but she knows how to look trendy and stylish.

I understand what you mean by a "vibe". I do get that from Alexa though, she seems to dress for women, rather than men and there is a sense of intelligence and classiness about her style.

These days, generally speaking, the only vibe I get from Kate is "trashy, attention-seeking child"

But it's really silly to compare Alexa to Kate or Sienna - both of them have been very influential and have been lumbered with the "style icon" tag. Alexa's style should be enjoyed (or ignored) for what it is - not as that of a "style icon".

well she used to dress 'boho' and everyone loved it...lots of designers came out with their whole collections themed 'boho' cos it was trendy at that time....but time changes...that was 2004, we have 2008 now and Sienna changed and so did her style...shes more 'street' now...
anyway its not about Sienna...i didnt want to develope a further discussion about her style vs Alexa...i just think they have nothing in common....Sienna (in my opinion) never followed trends...but created them along with others...i dont see her with geek glasses for example, like Alexa

The 'boho' style was never fabulous to begin with [imo]

She's feted for her edgy London style, but Alexa Chung reckons she dresses like her gran. "I dress like a grandma, a sailor and 60s-style, all in one," she tells Elle magazine, out tomorrow.

 

[modela]

she is quite skinny

 

[laisla]

you dont know how badly I want that lace dress!

I'll try and pick up Elle tomorrow, does she have the cover?

 

[modela]

Thanks laisla, that'd be great. No, Kate Hudson has the cover.

 

[laisla]

Kate Hudson has the cover unfortunately. yawn.

 

[XxpinktinksxX]

Love the white lace dress

 

[laisla]

Alexa is on the cover of the Elle "highstreet" supplement. She has a 10 page editorial showcasing the latest highstreet trends and another 2 pages with a small interview and set of b/w photos.

I'll try and scan it later today but if not, I'll get it done by tomorrow morning at the latest.
