Alexander Wang

Alexander Wang "Everything is based on the idea of classics with a fresh, modern take, basics that a girl can make her own...I like the idea of a girl running through the streets at night, splashing in puddles and ripping her nylons, understanding that it makes the outfit that much cooler." - Alexander Wang

Born and raised in San Francisco, Alex moved to New York at the age of 18 where he attended Parsons Design School and partook in a variety of internships. He launched his first full women’s collection in 2007. He lives in New York City’s Lower East side, where there is never a shortage of inspiration in music, life, reality and culture.

The directive in Alex's vision is upholding your own individuality, and breaking the conventional idea of a predictable "uniform." The ways in which his clothes are unabashedly styled and worn are as imperative to him as the clothes themselves. Alex's love for contrasts is reflected throughout the collection, with juxtaposing notes of street and luxe, sexy versus androgyny, and where vagabond meets a street-smart modernist.
