Alexa Chung: The Fashion Mod

Few names are as synonymous with quintessential London style as Alexa Chung. From noughties Primrose Hill poster girl to Fashion Awards winner, her effortless mix of vintage finds, polished tailoring and British nonchalance often puts Alexa at the centre of the conversation about what it means to dress like a “London girl”.

Whether she’s pairing a miniskirt with ankle boots, a pretty dress with kitten heels or borrowing from the boys in an oversized parka and loafers, her style often references the ’60s and mod culture—playful yet polished, prim yet decidedly rock and roll. Her ability to make timeless pieces feel fresh, personal and unmistakably cool has cemented her status as one of the capital’s most enduring style icons, and this autumn her seasonal heroes (cardigans, skirts and statement coats) form the perfect foundation for a strong autumnal capsule.
