THE LAST...
It’s the last page,
so it’s only fitting we
ask Brit style icon,
model, designer
(and Superga’s
new kicks-loving
global ambassador)
Alexa Chung...beauty product

THE GLOSSIER
CHEEK TINT
THINGY,
CLOUD PAINT....thing you bought
with cash?
I bought a scrap of fabric
for $1.60 from Dalston Mill
Fabrics, this cheap place in
London. I liked the colour
and how shiny it was....investment piece
you bought?
SOME CHANEL
SANDALS....song you played
on rotation?

I’m trying to #passonplastic....designer you discovered?
FABRIZIO VITI....drink you ordered at a bar?
A Woodford Reserve
bourbon whiskey and
dash of ginger ale, at Three
Sheets in East London....thing that made you mad?
My friend campaigned to
make upskirting illegal in the
UK, and the bill nearly passed
but a male MP backbencher
blocked it on principle. I was
mad because I thought,
“Whyyyy would you
want that to be legal?”
[The UK government has now
confirmed it will pass
legislation to ban upskirting.]...spontaneous
decision you made?
My life is a string of
spontaneous decisions others
seem to be taking seriously.Compiled by: Elle McClure. Photography: Getty Images; Instagram: @alexachung. White trainers, $139.95, grey suede trainers, $179.95, both Superga, gluestore.com.au...book you read?
I haven’t read a book for
almost a year, but I’m

Is Illuminated. The author
[Jonathan Safran Foer]
goes to a cafe I sometimes
frequent in New York,
and the owner had
a spare copy....time you sang karaoke?
My friends and I basically
live in karaoke bars. I have
many favourites, including:
“Breakdown” by Tom Petty,
“Crazy Little Thing Called
Love” by Queen, Cher’s
“If I Could Turn Back Time”
and “Oh, Pretty Woman”
by Roy Orbison....gift you gave?
I gave Derek Blasberg
a vintage St Louis badge
I found in a thrift store,
just because he’s from
there. It was a tatty gift really,
more just a silly trinket....text message you
received?
THE KISS EMOJI

LOU, MAKING SURE

“How was your party?
Sorry I didn’t make it out
of the cake. Are you in
Paris soon? X”...party you went to?
A sunset disco in Tulum that
my friend Ross was DJ’ing, as
part of a weekend getaway
with an online retailer. It was
very fun and glamorous –
I felt lucky to be there....thing that made you
really happy?
Work-wise, it’s collaborating
with Superga, one of my
favourite sneaker brands
[Chung’s second range with
them is out now]. And last
night I bumped into an old
friend I hadn’t seen in ages
and felt very happy to see
and hug him.@fabrizioviti@weareprojectzeroWith Derek BlasbergCher
