Alexa will continue to attend key events as part of the BFC�s annual calendar including London Fashion Week, the British Fashion Awards, LONDON show ROOMS and events for Fashion 2012, the BFC�s cultural platform of fashion events during the Olympic year. 

�I always name London first when asked which city in the world has the best style. There's something so inherently rebellious about how people naturally style themselves. Brits aren't afraid to experiment or take risks with how they look, perhaps that's why London has always been home to the most dynamic and daring designers in the world. I adore fashion and am proud that it's now officially my job to champion those London designers both new and established that inspire me so much.� - said Alexa Chung.
