Random Questions For…Alexa Chung

She’s been an It girl in the UK for quite some time, thanks to her ineffably cool personal style and model/DJ/TV host jobs.  

Now Alexa Chung has become a fashion force to be reckoned with here in the States, since relocating to New York last April to host MTV’s It’s On with Alexa Chung (think of it as a revamped TRL).

During New York Fashion Week, we spotted her at several shows (Phillip Lim, Marchesa and Preen, among others) and Chung also graced the front row of the Topshop, Vivienne Westwood, PPQ, House of Holland, Twenty8Twelve, Luella and Burberry shows during London Fashion Week’s 25^th anniversary celebration a week later.

The Fashion Informer nabbed a minute with the leggy beauty at Milk Studios to talk about music, job perks and breaking the rules.

So, Alexa…

What’s in current rotation on your iPod?
The-Exies are on there and The Shirelles and Roky Erickson.

Biggest difference between New York and London?
The rules in America are very oppressive.  There are so many rules that people love to stick by.  Like ID’ing you all the time, not letting you bringing a coffee into this venue (laughs). People are just sticklers for rules and they don’t let you sneak a sneaky one.  Like smoking cigarettes…  It seems quite regimented.

Favorite getaway spot?
At the moment, England, I guess.  I don’t really have one since I never get to get away because I’m always working. 

Best thing about your job?
I get free clothes!

When and where are you happiest?
When I’m anywhere my boyfriend [Arctic Monkeys singer Alex Turner] is.

Stay tuned next week for Random Questions For Shelly Steffee.
