DESIGNER PROFILE: Alexander WangFULL NAMES: Alexander Wang
ORIGIN: California (Chinese-American heritage)
FIRST COLLECTION: 2007
OVERVIEW: Alexander Wang began his fashion journey at 18, attending Parsons The New School for Design. He dropped out (sophomore year) and launched his first collection in 2007. He won the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund in 2008. Wang launched a diffusion line of pre-weathered cotton tees, tanks, and T-shirt dresses in spring 2009, T by Alexander Wang, as well as a footwear collection of towering platform sandals.
LATEST: Spring Pret-a-Porter 2011.(The latest is actually pre-fall 2011). A splash of white turned literal by the paint liberally distributed through models hair. He was aiming for something bright, uplifting, pristine- but never without the slouchy grunge edge his known for. The sporty trend has been good for this designer, with his constructed pieces married with his usual rock-french chic that is the DNA of his designs.
LOVE OR LIKE: I love Alexander Wang, and alot may judge solely by this line, but there's really much more to this designer, and when his pieces thrive in the limelight, with his avid celebrity following, it puts it all into perspective. From here its easy to see why this young talented designer is moving on up.
Always chic, always inspired.
