ALEXA CHUNG'S 'HOT ONES' EPISODE IS 24 MINUTES OF FASHION-NERD DELIGHT
In this house, we at Fashionista very healthily worship Alexa Chung, and have
since at least 2009, when the then-26-year-old "It" Brit moved to New York to
host MTV's "It's On With Alexa Chung." We've chronicled the ebbs and flows of
her career with as much precision as we have the designers of major fashion
houses, from her Longchamp campaigns to her book launches to her makeup lines
to, most recently, her eponymous fashion brand.
You can imagine our delight, then, when we learned late last month that Chung
had joined host Sean Evans on an upcoming episode of First We Feast's "Hot
Ones," in which Evans interviews guests while eating progressively spicier
chicken wings. (In the interests of journalistic integrity, we should report
that Chung, who is a vegetarian, ate vegan nuggets.) Well, my friends, patience
is a virtue, and that episode is finally here!
As it turns out, Evans is an enormous Chung fan himself, telling her at the
start of the interview that "Hot Ones" is partly based on work she did in her
early career, even going so far as to call her the "patron saint" of the
episode. And, we get it: Chung is an excellent interviewer herself, but as per
our speculation, she's also an excellent interviewee, using her 24 minutes of
air time to rehash some of her more enlightening life experiences, like getting
fired from a DJ set by Kate Moss at a Fendi party and feeling "like a piece of
shit" having to corral celebrities while hosting the Golden Globes red carpet in
2011. At one point, Evans asked about the one thing that's "really as bad in the
fashion industry as everyone says it is," to which the former model replies,
"photographers being creepy," explaining: "It's always a little bit of a weird
transaction, maybe. It can't not be," she said. "Because you're being observed
and captured for a purely visual asset and they're the ones doing it."
