A solid proof that you can make it big without 50 to100 years old worth of background as the majority of the big names of fashion today have. Alexander Wang is a successfull designer who has created his own label and Fashion line in 2007 at the age of 24 after dropping out of the very well renouned institute; Parsons the New School of Design. This young prodige has won over the big heads of Fashion, stealing away the CFDA (Council of Fashion Designers of America) fund award.
What I got from Alexander Wang's looks was a strong dominance in black and white tones. Alexander ads a modern touch to the otherwise monotone black by playing with the texture, the shape and the cut of his ensembles. Although the designer seems more comfortable with the classic B&W, I am quite impressed with the colourful collection he pulled off for his Spring 2012 Collection. Patterns are a difficult thing to pull off and Alexander Wang has done it interestingly well. Without using the outdated painfully blindfolds fluorescents, the color coordination on a white background creates a new style (maybe a new trend?).
Alexander Wang's skills don't stop at his designs; the fresh fashion house has shown their Business savvy side by creating a more affordable line called T by Alexander Wang that stays true to their signature modern mod look.
Another popular item, and my favourite bag of the moment, the ROCO studded bag is absolutely phenomenal, giving that edge to a black outfit without going overboard; the perfect Alexander Wang look.
