About this deal

Well, with spring approaching its end and with summer lightly floating in simultaneously, I brought you something more easily digestible: Alexa Chung’s “It” – a refreshing, short, unusual autobiography of the world-famous model. do you know of any book written before Jean Dawnay's Model Girl (1956) about the modeling industry / professional written from the model's perspective?

While a lot of young fashion is geared towards flashing flash, Chung's style isn't really about that. Offers a collection of author's writing, doodles and photographs combines stories of early style inspirations such as her grandpa and the Spice Girls with discussion of figures of obsession like Jane Birkin and Annie Hall, reflecting on heartbreak, how to get dressed in the morning, the challenges of taking a good selfie, and more. Another, darker side of her fame rests on endless photos of her, followed by sneering comments about how thin/ skinny/ bony/ scrawny/ emaciated she is (select the abuse of your choice). It is a combination of irreverent commentary, fashion advice, photography and illustrations, mixed with autobiographical anecdotes.IT attempts to articulate, enrich, and justify Alexa Chung´s status as an “it girl” through essays, personal reflections, doodles, anecdotes, and film photos that she has taken and collected along the way. A truly one-off collection of Alexa's writing, doodles and photographs, It combines stories of early style inspirations such as her grandpa and the Spice Girls, discussion of figures of obsession like Jane Birkin and Annie Hall, and reflects on heartbreak, how to get dressed in the morning, the challenges of taking a good selfie, and more. We give people around the world the opportunity to contribute to the circular economy, earn money and protect the planet, by trading their unwanted books and media. IT made me wonder about myself; reading Chung invited introspection that enabled me to converse with Chung´s notes, and my very own.

Already a hugely popular television personality and a muse for Marc Jacobs and Karl Lagerfeld, Chung is now a co-anchor of the nightly music show Fuse News , covering today's hottest acts and entertainment news. I love photographs, and I also recently discovered my love for memoirs (thanks to I'm Supposed to Protect You from All This by Nadja Spiegelman), so this book came at the perfect time for me to read and enjoy.IT is a book that addresses all and nothing, a text filled with bits and snapshots of Chung´s youth; a niche of her own, a curation of an ambiance of a stylisée but effortless woman on the go tracing her way through the fashion and entertainment industry.
