Exclusive Video: Alexa Chung Wears Her New Madewell Collection

You can see over a dozen pieces from Alexa Chung's second Madewell collection in this new video, which was filmed in tandem with the road trip-inspired ads shot in Austin, Texas. Like Chung's first collection (which was a great success, sales-wise), there's a ladylike, buttoned-up look to the clothes, especially a few silky collared shirts in delicate pinstripes and polka dots. There's also a continuation of Chung's signature shape: an emphasis on the legs with high-waisted short-shorts, thigh-skimming dresses, and slim-cut cigarette pants in a vintage-y floral pattern, balanced out with a looser top like a chunky knit sweater. Other highlights: a hunter green plaid cape, a cute red beanie hat, and playful zippered clutch printed with eyes.

The collection will be available in stores and online on September 22.
