Alexa Chung designs for Madewell

Latest news on the celebrity-designer front is that Alexa Chung has been signed up to design for Madewell, the brand owned by J. Crew. The popular US label is a favourite of Alexa's and she was their top choice as guest designer, 'Alexa is totally cool. It's not the way she looks or dresses. It's the way she is', says Millard Drexler, Chairman of J.Crew Group.

As well as designing tea dresses, high waisted skinny jeans and bomber jackets, Alexa has had input in other areas - her own sketches will also appear in the look books.

Blimey, are there any actors/singers/models left not designing clothes collections?
