Alexa Chung started her career modelling, signing up to Storm Management at the age of 16. Appearing on covers for teen publications such as Elle Girl and CosmoGIRL!, Chung abandoned the industry at the age of 20, disillusioned with the effect that it had on her own self-esteem and body image.
With vague ambitions towards TV work, Alexa had auditioned for T4 at the age of 18. Her big break would come four years later, when her tape was reviewed and she was offered the role of presenter, alongside Alex Zane, for Channel 4's Popworld.
Further television work has followed, although it's been Chung's It-girl status which has rapidly ascended.
Topping a number of high profile best-dressed lists throughout 2007, the presenter has become a regular on the London party circuit, often spotted alongside Agyness Deyn, Peaches Geldof and Arctic Monkey boyfriend, Alex Turner.
