She has appeared in Vogue covers and as the face of brands such as Superga and Longchamp. After that, she decided to explore other fields and started working as a TV presenter. In , she published her first book, ' It ' where she shares her own personal inspirations, musings, and electric sense of style. It is a collection of writing, doodles, and photographs. She has also written for many magazines and served as a contributing editor for British Vogue. The fashionista is now busy with her own high-end brand Alexa Chung which was released in May Worn by anyone else, these trousers would look like fishermen's waders.
Worn by Chung, they give her the air of a beautiful, kohl-eyed waif in a Charlie Chaplin silent movie. Perhaps the clothes are a subconscious expression of how it feels to be back at the centre of other people's attention.

For some reason, Chung seems to attract a ludicrous amount of bile on the internet. Partly, one imagines, it is because she is strikingly beautiful and yet simultaneously unafraid of expressing her own opinion, a combination that leaves her open to accusations of condescension even though, in person, she is extremely nice, warm and witty.
