Alexa Chung Was Rejected from Fashion School

5. Alexa Chung, recently named British Fashion Council Young Ambassador, has admitted to being rejected from fashion design school. Alexa Chung, designer, style icon, and sheepishly proud founder of the peter-pan-collar fad, didn't get accepted to Central Saint Martin's fashion design program when she applied as a teenager.
So I feel a bit jealous of [design students], like I want to join in. I should've done this. And I veered into TV, but always end up in fashion one way or another. I suppose, even though I didn't get in to Saint Martins, I managed to leapfrog the process.
