Tom Ford has officially been elected as chairman of the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA). It’s a big get for the designer, who is taking over from Diane von Furstenberg.

Women’s Wear Daily reports that reinventing New York Fashion Week, and continuing on with the CFDA’s work of tackling sustainability and diversity, will be top of Ford’s agenda when he assumes the role in June.

Last September, after years of appearances on the front row of London Fashion Week (and on the catwalk as a model), Alexa Chung held the first ever catwalk show for her eponymous clothing brand.

The show and collection – which was themed around travel – were heralded a great success, so how would the style star follow her knockout debut?

We found out today when Chung presented her AW19 collection, titled Off the Grid.
