>> After much anticipation — so much, in fact, that J.Crew employees are rumored to be banned from using their employee discounts on the collection — Alexa Chung for Madewell is now available for purchase online; it will be in stores starting Sept. 11. The 25-piece collection, which first debuted last February during New York Fashion Week, completely encompasses Chung's quirky cool '60s-inspired aesthetic via high-waist shorts and jeans — which she designed to fit her "really weird proportions and ridiculous legs." The collection is rounded out with silk blouses, pea coats, and dungaree dresses priced from $48 for a tee to $295 for a coat. Check out our top ten picks in the gallery below.

This collection has a very generic feel about it, nothing about any of the pieces stands out and it also lacks a cohesive thread to be deemed a collection. Yet another example of a celeb who's lent their name to a clothing line. It would be infinitely more interesting for fine artists to do fashion collaborations.
