Alexa Chung to British Elle on all the free stuff designers send her: “It’s not all things that I’d have chosen. It makes you question your own taste sometimes. Do I even like this? My house is tiny and I can’t fit things in. So if my mum or my friends don’t want it, I send it back or give it to a charity shop. It’s worrying to think how much those things are worth.
