It feels as though many fashion houses are taking cues from one lovely lady, and her name just happens to be Alexa Chung--I mean, just look at the Proenza Schouler Fall 2010 collection. Doesn't almost every piece look like something she's either worn or will probably wear?
I'm not trying to label Alexa Chung as a hipster (despite my title) because I honestly think she's way too ahead of the curve to be called that, but I can't help but see the Proenza Schouler Fall 2010 collection as such.
