Alexa Chung insists book is not 'style bible'
Thursday 11th October 2012 | Amy
Alexa Chung has revealed what can be expected from her forthcoming fashion book.
The presenter turned DJ is expanding into literacy after the success of her fashion label, though she insists her book will not be a style bible. Whilst talking to Fashionista, Chung revealed the book is: ‘basically a compendium of drawings and photographs, and I’m going to write a bunch of stuff.’
She has taken inspiration from online American teenage magazine Rookie, and opted for light, humorous musings rather than the bible which has been circulating the media. This format could be said to reflect Alexa Chung herself, both in her style and personality. When commenting on her own fashion sense, she said: ‘I’m always quite scruffy. I don’t think I’m renowned for putting on a gown and DJing, that’s not my style.’
The news has got fashion magazines eager to learn more but as yet the book is still in its first stages, with a title still to be decided. The book, which will be released by Penguin Books, is expected to be out September next year.
