Check out these pictures of Alexa Chung's very first foray into the designer world - her debut collection for Madewell.

Having only just announced a partnership with the US brand back in January, the pretty presenter has been hard at work to get her first collection ready in time for New York Fashion Week.

Alexa chose to stage the presentation as a pretend photo shoot, having her models pose among a set of vintage suitcases, bicycles and flowers - in an off-site location at Manhattan's Bowery Hotel.

And consisting of preppy shorts, long scarves, pretty tea dresses, casual tees and that undeniably Alexa socks ‘n' sandals combo, the collection looks as though it could have come straight out of Miss Chung's wardrobe.

But the best news? Despite the fact that it might not necessarily be available over here right away, Madewell is a high street brand - sister to US giant J. Crew - so the pieces are pretty much guaranteed to be nice and affordable.

What do you think of Alexa's debut collection for Madewell? Let us know your thoughts in the comments box below!

I like it. Very wearable. But it's a love it or hate it type collection. A bit like Alexa!

I agree it does look like it came straight from her wardrobe! I like it but I don't think it's particularly interesting - they're nice pieces that I would wear but there's nothing new or original about them.

I really like this collection but it is suited to only one body shape i reckon.

Dont you just hate how all these 'stars' literally empty there own wardrobes on to a catwalk and then make loads of money from it. BORING!

Yes Anna...and it isn't mine! :)

It is lovely though.

I used to have some velvet hot pants like Alexa's in the early 90's, though sadly wouldn't get them past my knees now...

o yes, i can just see my thunder thighs busting outta those tiny shorts right now!!!! I dont think! very ordinary

not sure... looks like a grown-up Jack Wills collection, suited to stick thin 20 somethings with no individual style, note to Alexa - must do better !

BORING!!! They are all styled to look exactly like her...self indulgent much! My goodness can anyone who has had 5 minutes on TV get a fashion line now a days?
