My Designs – Alexander Wang

This time, I have decided to focus on the personal expression and style of the Asian-American Designer, Alexander Wang. The designer started his own brand in 2005 at the age of 19. He dropped oft of Parsons The New School of Design and started his own brand with the hep of his family. The first pieces for the collection were based on the unisex silhouettes which formed the style of the brand further on and made him known and distiguishanable. Right now, Alexander Wang is considered one of the most successful young designers in the world and his clothing can be seen on everyone, up to Anna Wintour.

Alexander Wang is known for creating simplistic clothing, but at the same time he shows the dark side of fashion. There is a lot of black present in his designs, as well as leather. It helps to show off what he is trying to convey to the public, as well as it is something that he finds himself interested in. Throughout the whole career he has been carrying the same but priceless mood – model-off-the-runway. It is relaxed, but stylish and high-class at the same time. Something that would perfectly fit a modern fashionista on a busy day.

This first look was inspired by the original Alexander Wang style: a lot of leather, black color and synthetic materials. Also, the iconic Rockie bag is present, because it is one of the main things that the brand is very famous and well-known for. The ‘net’ materials and textures are always present in all of the collections, as well as they are the key details and inserts in many of the garments.

The evening attire look was influenced and inspired by the dress that has been worn by a couple of celebrities on the red carpet. Alexander Wang doesn’t do too many formal gowns or dresses -he is more about short, leather or synthetic. But if he creates pieces of the formal attire, he does it with his own style. There are going to be inserts of something like plastic, or complicated designs. But in all of it, we of course see Alexander Wang himself!
