Alexa Chung: The millennial It Girl

SHAMELESS MEDIA
About this episode

Today we’re tracing how Alexa Chung became the definitive millennial It Girl. Alexa’s distinct yet laidback approach to fashion has made her an enduring style icon, but how did she solidify her place in the fashion landscape? And, we discuss whether toe shoes are the next biggest trend. New York Fashion Week suggests so, but we polled our listeners to get their two cents on this divisive footwear.
