Publisher Description
Alexa Chung's IT: the Top Ten Bestseller from the international fashion muse and Vogue contributing editor
Now a Penguin paperback, this one-off collection of Alexa Chung's writing, doodles and photographs combines stories of early style inspirations such as her grandpa and the Spice Girls with discussion of figures of obsession like Jane Birkin and Annie Hall, reflecting on heartbreak, how to get dressed in the morning, the challenges of taking a good selfie, and more. Interspersed with pages from Alexa's notebooks and many a photo of a good night out, It is now perfectly sized for any bag - handbag or otherwise. Witty, charming and with a refreshingly down-to-earth attitude, It is a must-have for anyone who loves fashion, worries about growing up, or loves just about everything Alexa Chung.
'If you love Alexa Chung, buy it. If you are interested in fashion and style, buy it. If you're after a book full of pretty pictures and inspo, buy it' - Cosmopolitan

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
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.
Customer Reviews
Love this book
This quirky book is full of fashion inspiration from all different Eras, tips and tricks and how to be different in a world full of the same! So inspired! Loved it
Stay away from this
What a terrible book. Vain, narcassistic and totally dull.
Alexa represents what’s wrong in today’s society.
