Alexa Chung

My gripe is that a lot of young girls aspire to be super sexy and I don’t see why. What is attractive or alluring is not necessarily how much flesh you bare, but how good your brain is, or how much charm you have. Fake tan, fake tits - this porn thing has become embedded in our culture. It’s a shame. Maybe it’s because I’m a country girl, but I hate it when women only dress for men. I think it’s more exciting to reveal less. Maybe wear layers of smocks and then have super-sexy underwear on. Dress like a pilgrim on the outside and a whore underneath.

Erdem Spring 2012 RTW












Erdem is a wonderful young English designer.  His signature is florals.  Flowers are a symbol of spring and I love that he used blue, even though blue isn't really a spring color.  The contrast between the flowers and the blue gave this collection a very dreamy, light quality about it.  The girl of this collection is young, but loves to try on older women's clothes; she's trying to be mature.  I'm a big fan of Erdem and his dresses, they are always so feminine and elegant.  XOXO, Allie
