    Alexa Chung covers ‘Blue Denim’ for new fashion collection

    The multitalented It-girl takes to the stage in a new fashion film

    Not only is fashion’s ultimate cool girl a TV presenter, model and author, now Alexa Chung is officially a singer, too.

    It’s no secret Chung loves to sing – she even threw a karaoke party for her 31st birthday in New York last year, sharing snaps of herself behind the mic on Instagram – but we had no idea the girl actually had talent.

    Starring in an exclusive video for mytheresa.com, the British It-girl performs a cover of Stevie Nicks’ 1994 hit “Blue Denim” in Valentino shoes and an indigo mini-dress from her new collaborative collection with AG (Adriano Goldschmied) (yes, she’s a designer, too).

    Ignoring the unimpressed party crowd, Chung gives the Dev Hynes-produced track her all while totally uncool guests dare to suggest she’s hogging the mic with her ninth rendition of the tune. Um hello, she’s Alexa.

    The fashion film, which was shot by director Gia Coppola in her own Hollywood Hills home, is part of mytheresa.com’s Tunes series, which celebrates the merge between fashion, film and music. Oh, and that dress is available January 15.

    VINTAGE VIDEO: ‘Blue Denim’ from Late Night with David Letterman

    Stevie’s performance of “Blue Denim” on Late Night with David Letterman (and her entire Street Angel saga) is memorable for a number of reasons. Stevie had recently completed treatment for a debilitating addiction to prescription medication and finally released her fifth solo recording Street Angel after several delays and attempts to “fix” the album.

    Despite the tepid critical response to the album, Stevie forged on with the necessary promotion, which included a national tour and requisite TV appearances, such as the Letterman performance. Rather than sulk or go through the motions, Stevie gave it her all — busting out the bold costumes, whimsical set designs, and powerhouse vocals that longtime fans wanted her to unleash once again. Not all of the transformations worked out, but her gallant efforts proved to the world, and most importantly to her fans, that Stevie Nicks was a rock and roll survivor, crimped hair and all! Perhaps she was channeling the look of future drummer Jimmy Paxson…?
