The Fashion Challenge with Alexa Chung | NET-A-PORTER

hello i'm alexa chung you're watching netaporte's fashion challenge it's been a bit of a sort of weird time for us all and i really couldn't take anything else more unexpected so i decided that i would actually set myself the challenges and they're all kind of based around things that i can't wait to do as soon as we're out of lockdown but before we get to the actual challenge itself i thought i could talk through some of my mood boards and inspirations for our new collection come into my lair so i wanted to talk to you about my spring collection vertigo which was inspired by horror movies and it kind of expressed itself with these amazing prints that we have we've got the shadow puppet print there's the ditsy mushroom which is like a trippy alice in wonderland vibe and the process is quite straightforward i'll start with a mood board like this and so i'll put up pictures of isabella rossolini who's very much the kind of icon of our collection or like notes so i'll be like we should be watching the shining all of this spins into ideas and shapes and then this lovely collection comes out which i'm really really happy with there you have it that was a whirlwind trip around our collection but now to the challenges let's go challenge number one i don't know why i said it like that your local is finally open your friends have only actually seen your shoulders up look for the best part of a year and you want to show them that yes you do still like getting dressed what do you wear to the local pub for a sunday roast with friends very english this one sunday roast with friends in a pub i cannot wait when i go to the pub of a sunday i also like to combine it with a flower market experience so i want to try and dress like belle from beauty and the beast as if i'm like waltzing through the set birds are flying down landing on my shoulders it's just like idyllic so definitely i want to be wearing a dress and it could be this which we call the milkmaid dress is literally built for a sunday so i'd wear this guy then shoe wise okay the shoes that i probably should wear would be like a boot something like this like a heavy tread zone but actually even though they're impractical i love these manolo ballerina style and a slip-on shoe for me is very challenging and honestly i can't keep them on my feet so these this and definitely a basket bag i'm going to put this on and then we'll see what other touches it might need tada do you know what these are delightful but i don't think they're right sue might be this guy yeah cute and a little warm cardi for over the shoulders and then it's a bit of this voila sunday roast with friends and then you're like hi oh just the wine for me thank you oh have they got a veggie roast great let's do it oh no tables what okay we'll wait here and chat for an hour i can't wait challenge number two is this the end of instagram live gigs from musicians in their kitchens let's hope so no that's mean they were great we really enjoyed them but you've always forgotten what it's like to stand out in the crowd what do you wear to a gig with friends um a gig with friends it's always tough with gigs because well it depends what kind of music you like but i like quote unquote rock and roll trying to look gig appropriate but not too rock to a rock gig is a fine balance that said i do feel like i want to wear leather and we made these really amazing black leather shorts so i think definitely going to incorporate these into the zone and then to juxtapose that i think maybe something prairie and good girl on the top half and then okay if i'm not wearing tights then definitely a boot but if i am wearing tights then maybe it's a heel and also as i'm getting older it's not like a dreamy way of expressing that anyway as i'm getting older i do want to dress more sexy before it's too late so i think i'm going to wear like a jimmy choo these remind me of like a 70s punk girl vibe like maybe nancy i'll be the nancy to someone sid anyway i'll try it on and then we'll amend it be right back there's life in the old dog yet she still wears hot pants they're still leather i don't care i would say little bag with you for lipstick mobile phone passport maybe you're going to end up on the pj it depends what caliber of band you're hanging out with heels probably not that great for a gig but it's literally the first time out of the house in a year so let's just throw caution to the wind and go crazy oh take sunglasses because if it goes well you might be staying out all night that's a solid look right there oh one more thing i do have the option of a matching leather jacket i mean am i in the band am i watching the band it doesn't really matter that's the gig look okay challenge three you're at the airport what's an airport i hear you cry it's one of those places where you go and then you get on a plane and then you go to another country it was really fun you're gonna like it again but anyway you've never been more excited to buy an oversized toblerone at duty-free show us your best airport attire i used to spend a lot of my life at the airport and airport dressing is something that i really really enjoy doing because i think it's a moment where you know you're going to be surrounded by strangers so i would wear dungarees because i usually do so these would be really cool with a t-shirt underneath and uh this coat that when i made it i was like this is an airport coat it's the dream airport coat it's the truman navy coat it's really nice to wear it swishes around it doubles as a blanket you know when you're sitting on the plane i'll put this on and then we'll figure out what the accessories are come on you [Music] yes i'm getting out of here um i bought my passport with me just to show you that i'm excited so airports i love actually making an effort in airport i think is really key you never know who you're going to meet you never know whether they might want to upgrade you they don't little satchel which is never big enough what you actually need you need something that can fit your magazines a pret or another brand of takeaway food weird stuff that you don't need from duty-free i like to buy a red lipstick because when i land you put that on and then you trick people into thinking you're not exhausted and the absolute key thing a shoe that can slip on and off easily as you go into the um what do you call it what is that thing called security wow it's been a while another thing i like to take a pajama with me then you can annoy all the other passengers by getting in a full pyjama set and sitting in the middle aisle acting like you're in first class pop the champagne you brought with you and it's a perfect experience but anyway also doubles as a handy outfit say you're going somewhere warm you can wear your bikini and a pair of denim hot pants and this shirt or you can wear these with a oversized t-shirt and some really cool flip-flops such as handy these but anyway whatever you're not taking those to the airport they're in your bag so that's it voila this is the airport ugh i love going to the airport there we have it
