Go behind the scenes with fashion icon Alexa Chung as she talks about her style.
Transcript
00:00My fashion line can be described in these three words.
00:05Um, clothes I like.
00:11My mood-based graphic tee right now would just read, um, tired.
00:18Tired brain, tired body.
00:21In truth, probably quite hungover.
00:26Does it look real?
00:27Yeah.
00:27No, it doesn't.
00:28Yeah, it does. I swear to you. You want to see a photo?
00:36I met and freaked out over meeting Patti Smith once.
00:40And I was at a dinner party for a fashion event.
00:42I saw my name was sat next to her.
00:44So I sat down at the table and I was like,
00:47Hi Patti, I'm Alexa, big fan.
00:50And she went, I'm deaf in this ear.
00:52She's not, by the way.
01:02I was at school, there was a library, but we didn't really go there that frequently.
01:07But my method for studying was to just like, I'm quite a visual person, so I used to highlight
01:11it and draw pictures around things and words so that then I would have an image to associate
01:16with the spelling.
01:25If I had $10 to eat in New York City, top tip, if you wait outside Subway, at a certain
01:30hour
01:30they take all the sandwiches out and hand them out to everyone surrounding that area.
01:34So I would just go to the one on Houston and hope for the best.
01:38And then I'd spend the $10 on one drink.
01:43Here are some great lazy styling tips.
01:46One, wear sunglasses indoors at night and you'll look like you don't care and therefore
01:51it's slightly badass.
01:53Also you look really pretentious, but...
01:54Or you could wear socks with open toe sandals and everyone would be like, oh wacky, you're
02:00really edgy.
02:01There was a day when they didn't exist and then the next day everyone knew what it was
02:06and it all existed.
02:07Yeah.
02:08That one goes with your outfit.
02:10All I've seen them is on Diplo's Instagram on girls' asses.
02:14I mean, why not?
02:18I legit think I am a dad that's been reincarnated as a lady.
02:26Whoa!
02:28One, two, one, two, three, four!
02:37I got kicked out of music class as a kid because I dressed my friend in tambourines.
02:41And he didn't like it.
02:42I was like, you're not open-minded enough.
02:44One thing I'd never wear is...
02:48Well, my thing is always that you shouldn't say that you wouldn't ever wear anything because
02:51you should keep an open mind.
02:53For example, I didn't think I'd be sat in like a quite acrid, bright green mohair sweater
02:59with beading on it a minute ago.
03:02Yeah, here I am loving it.
03:07You like it now?
03:08Yeah.
03:09There's hope on.
