WANG'S WINNING COMBINATION

One of the hottest tickets during New York Fashion week is the Alexander Wang show. He is one of the few young designers who is well-known globally. He is a genius in marketing his brand. Indeed, he is considered a boy wonder. For this season, he took his collection to a different realm... modern outwear. The dominant piece in his collection is the cocoon shape poncho like jacket. When I saw the collection, it reminded me of Rick Owens, Haider Ackermann, and Ann Demeulemeester all combined. He combined all the best elements of these designers and came up with his own interpretation. Voila! A stunning collection was produced.

Throughout the series of clothes that paraded on the runway, he used so much fur. Shoes were accented with fox trims, glasses with mink details, and jackets with neck and arm adorned in luxurious mink.

The color palettes were done in black, champagne, and gray. Like Phillip Lim, his business is soaring high. His brand is never intimidating. Everyone can have a taste of Alexander Wang' clothes because the price points are reasonable.

His evolution as a designer keeps on going. I am pretty sure that he will be staying in the industry for a long time.
