Boy oh boy! The Chung strikes again! This time, Alexa Chung has been announced as the new face of Maje and will appear in the French label's fall 2012 campaign.
The Chung strikes again! Yes, Alexa Chung is back with
a fresh gig. This time, the 28-year-old British model, TV presenter
and fashion designer became the new face of Maje for fall 2012.
"Elegant yet edgy, her attitude reflects a personality that is both
glamorous and rock 'n' roll," the brand stated.
Maje's creative director Judith Milgrom explained why they chose
Alexa for the French label's fall/winter 2012-2013 campaign. "It's
really love at first sight," she said. "She's a chameleon. She has
a way of wearing designs that is very personal." As for Alexa, the
style icon confesses she feels super-excited with her new project.
"I am thrilled to be the face of Maje for their autumn/winter
2012-13 campaign," Chung told Vogue UK. "It's a brand I love and
wear, so to be asked was a huge compliment."
We already know that Alexa is extremely hardworking when it comes
to fashion and style tasks. And there are loads of evidences in
this sense. The renowned It girl proved she has writing skills as
contributing editor of British Vogue, but also the ability to host
a live show as TV presenter and reporter for Frock Me, Thrift
America, 24 Hour Catwalk.
However, Chung is mostly known for her modelling career appearing
in campaigns for Lacoste, Pepe, DKNY, Vero Moda, and Superga. Oh,
and did we mention that she designs for Madewell?
Vogue's Anna Wintour has described Chung as "a phenomenon" and we
now see she was right. For Maje's upcoming campaign, Alexa was
photographed by Glen Luchford at the Porte des Lilas metro station
in Paris. The black and white photos taken early in the morning and
evoking a Sixties heroine will be released in magazines in
September. "It was really eerie down there, but it was really
nice," Chung said.
