Advance Notice. Alexa Chung for Madewell.

Alexa Chung is a British TV presenter and model who's known for having great style. She moved to Brooklyn to host her own MTV show, "It's On With Alexa Chung", but the show's now over and she's moving on to the designing world.

The news of the fall collection was reported by WWD in January, and is available September 9 online, and September 11 in stores. Long sweaters, skinny jeans, and vintage-style dresses populate the line.

When I got my new J. Crew catalogue over the weekend, a well-designed postcard slipped out, announcing the "Alexa Chung for Madewell" line. Madewell is part of the J. Crew group, and is a relatively new addition to Los Angeles malls like the Westfield Century City and Americana at Brand.
