Luckily New York has Alexander Wang, an optimist with boundless energy who's not afraid to take a risk:
Discussing the current state of the American fashion industry is always a bit of a downer. There's the messy fashion calendar situation; a jam-packed New York Fashion Week schedule with few marquee names to draw international press and buyers. Then there's the matter of American talents either defecting to Paris or sitting out the shows altogether in order to experiment with consumer-facing marketing methods.
Luckily New York has Alexander Wang, an optimist with boundless energy who's not afraid to take a risk and has his finger firmly on the pulse of youth culture. He's an avid collaborator — Adidas, Uniqlo, H&M — an ahead-of-the-curve tastemaker, a celebrity favorite and, in addition to his clear genius for branding, he's got a great sense of humor.
Section one brought out the workwear, albeit with a Wang twist. Outerwear was oversized, logoed and structural; blazers were made from leather, a tight catsuit replaced a business suit; trousers had sporty fold-over waistbands; and off-duty pieces like studded leather shorts or casual crewneck sweatshirts rounded out the wardrobe.
Third was "preppy Americana," with clear inspiration from Ralph Lauren. In keeping with the current "yee-haw" trend, there was suede fringe, Western shirts, head-to-toe dark denim and layered leather belts. The collegiate goods were kept cool with the addition of trompe l'oeil shirting, slouchy pants, oversized cropped outerwear and bucket hats in plaid.
