Archive by Alexa Chung M&S preview

Alexa Chung is one of my favourite fashion icons. Everytime we see her I am even more impressed! Today we were able to see the new collection Archive. To create this amazing new line she worked with M&S and their design team. 


The whole collection shall be revealed in April, but for now we can enjoy the previews! 

The first thing that caught my eye was this coat inspired by the 1989 Ada blazer, which Alexa then modernised to create this classy number.

This piece is most definitely my favourite. I have been wearing a lot of dresses recently, and I cannot wait to add this to my collection. As the full collection comes out in April, it will be perfect  for a simple Spring/Summer outfit.
