The concept of the "It" girl started in the 1920s with Clara Bow and the famous film "It." Now many young starlets are bequeathed with the title simply because they are waifish and just enough ahead of the trend curve to help set off the next big thing. Some of London's biggest "it" girls have a specific love when it comes to jeans.

Alexa Chung

Media darling and model Alexa Chung first made a name for herself after being discovered by a highly influential modeling scout at the age of 16. Not long after she took over British television and radio waves with a series of hosting gigs for music and fashion related shows. Taking a brave leap to the United States, Chung hosted a short-lived program on MTV and has since returned home to London to host yet another television show.

Chung's "It" girl status is not something she relishes, but the idea sticks none the less. Known for her quirky sense of fashion, she continually takes top honors in many fashion bible magazines for being one of the most iconic in the fashion landscape.

Jeans Style

Though Chung is spotted in just about everything, she does tend to gravitate towards a certain jeans aesthetic. When she is caught in jeans, she is only in the skinniest of the skinny jeans. With her thin, bordering on gangly body, she can easily pull off the second skin look of ultra skinny styles. Her staple shade stays almost exclusively in the dark rinse range with classic blue through black being a clear favorite, though she has been seen on occasion, typically photo shoots, in very light washes.

To recreate the look of style maven Alexa Chung, it's all about sticking with dark skinny jeans to keep that thin frame looking model-esque. Pair them with a slightly baggy shirt and a killer pair of heels and you've got the London "It" girl look of Alexa Chung down pat.
