Alexa Chung’s Career

Modeling

Chung started her career at the age of 16 after she was scouted from the comedy tent at the Reading Festival. She became a model for teen magazines such as CosmoGIRL! And Ellen Girl. She also worked for companies like Sony Ericsson, Fanta, Sunsilk, Tampax, and Urban Outfitters. In addition, Chung made appearances in music videos for various artists including Westlife, the Streets, Reuben, Delta Goodrem, and Holly Vallace. She also starred in Shoot Me, a scripted reality show that broadcast in 2005 on Fashion TV.

Chung quit modeling after four years intending to start an art foundation or perhaps a fashion journalism course. This is because she had become disillusioned as well as developing a sort of distorted body image and low self-esteem from modeling. However, on becoming a TV personality, she occasionally returned to modeling. Chung became the icon of Oxfam’s ethical fashion range, Revamped and Australian fashion label, Antipodium’s SS 2008 collection in 2008. She then walked the catwalk in September 2008 at London Fashion Week as part of the Vivienne Westwood Red Label Spring/Summer 2009 show.
