The must-haves of the English it-girl? Hunter rubber boots, polo shirts, flats and Barbour flats.&nbsp;

Sleaze indie style guide by Alexa Chung , it-girl, model, designer, who continues to fascinate us with her incredible coolness. It was the early <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/fashion/y2k-fairies-trend-2000s-what-to-buy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2000s</a> , when MTV - music mecca - launched the program " It's On with Alexa Chung". Born in 1983, originally from Hampshire, Privett, who lead into 2009. In those years she was engaged to the frontman of the Arctic Monkeys Alex Turner , from whom she will separate in 2011. Those were the years of the combo Brit model and singer of the scene indie rock of the 2000s: if Alexa was with Turner, <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/culture/everything-we-know-so-far-about-the-moss-freud" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kate Moss</a> with Pete Doherty, leader of The Libertines. From there the Festivals: Itunes Music Festival in London and Glastonbury which is still a permanent presence. The look? Barbour jacket, mini dress and knee-high rubber boots, in perfect indie sleaze style.

Noticed at just 14 at the Reading Festival, in a short time she was in the ranks of Elite Model Management. <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/fashion/alexa-chung-french-girl-style-moments" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alexa Chung</a> is immediately liked by magazines and fashion brands for her linear and clean features. Having entered the Olympus of fashion in the blink of an eye, she is still one of our favorite it girls today. Witty, seemingly simple, slightly awkward, a tangible sign of years that are long gone but still retain a place in our hearts - of those who lived them and those who remember them through dusty Instagram profiles with the hashtag <a href="https://www.instagram.com/indiesleaze/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">#indiesleaze ,</a> Alexa Chung enjoys a timeless charm. His style is underpinned by garments and accessories that over the years have given rise to a real trend, while also updating itself in terms of vocabulary, has remained constant: slip dresses with very thin straps, colorful mini dresses and a-line miniskirts (closer to the twee and <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/fashion/neck-ties-fashion-trend-shopping" target="_blank" rel="noopener">preppy</a> style) combined with a <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/ibiza/the-end-of-an-era-as-bar-flotante-shutters-this-week" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wax Barbour jacket</a> which over the years has reconfirmed itself as a must have together with the muddy Hunter boots, the last bulwark of English music festivals under the rain. But also converse and minimal t-shirts, polo shirts , flats or Mary-Janes.

THE STYLE OF ALEXA CHUNG

If indie sleaze literally means "indie debauchery" and the style is inspired by the aesthetics of the <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/fashion/vivienne-westwood-sex-pistols-and-the-origins-of-punk-fashion" target="_blank" rel="noopener">punk</a> and rock bands of the 90s and 2000s who tried to distinguish themselves from the mainstream music scen to create a rebellious and transgressive image, it is true that Alexa Chung's wardrobe as well as that of a more mature Kate Moss and actress Drew Barrymore, is a mix of aesthetic influences and reinterpretations that make it "softer" swinging from indie to preppy to twee. When it comes to indie sleaze style, one cannot fail to mention Courtney Love, singer, actress and wife of Kurt Cobain, but also Alice Glass, leader of Crystal Castles, Shirley Manson, lead singer of Garbage, known for her dark and heavy make-up around her eyes, Winona Rider - 90s fashion icon - and an early rocker Angelina Jolie .
