Alexa Chung Is Once Again Selling Her Actual Wardrobe On Vinted, So Prepare For Millennial Hysteria

This is not a drill: Alexa Chung is selling more of her wardrobe on Vinted (the first drop was in April). To millennials and members of Gen X, this is big. Like, really big. Because rather like truffling out pieces of Kate Moss x Topshop, the collaboration that is still doing a brisk trade on eBay two decades later, Chung's clothes have a special kind of sartorial relevance to the generation who grew up trying to copy her fringe and indie sleaze aesthetic on Popworld (RIP).

They've had multiple chances to 'get the look' before, of course. Chung was one of the first celebrities to really understand 'collab culture', partnering with M&S, Madewell and most recently Barbour. But was the first time people could actually get their hands on clothes that belonged to her.

The first sale went live on 4th May, and all of the proceeds went to the charity Endometriosis UK. And Chung dug deep, selling designer gems that include a crackled-silver pair of trainers which she described as 'very hard to say goodbye to' (Dries Van Noten), a candy pink shoulder bag (Gucci), a cropped cardi (Marc Jacobs) and much more besides.

Why Vinted? 'These items carry so many memories and we had great times together but now it is time to kiss them goodbye and the idea that they can live on in someone else’s wardrobe and be new again to them is very appealing,' Chung said at the time of the first drop, adding, for the benefit of shoppers who were poised to raid her wardrobe, that vintage is always the way to go: 'I love the magic and rush of unearthing something unexpected that might knock your comfortable style out of its regular lane slightly.'

If you missed out the first time round, the good news is that she appears to have steadily dropped a second lot of clothes and accessories, which, again, is like personally browsing one of the most idolised wardrobes of this century (not an overstatement).

Still trying to recreate that fringe? Put down the scissors and, instead, get yourself on Vinted.
