No, Alexander Wang is not related to Vera Wang, a well-known icon and popular designer in the fashion industry. Actually, we can say that Alexander Wang never needed any famous relatives to get to the fashion peak. He has already received numerous prizes by the Vogue, Swarovski and GQ, and in 2013, he has become the creative director of the fashion house Balenciaga.
Of course, this talented couturier also pleases us with his own fashion under his eponymous label. It reflects his entire vision of fashion: an urban, sporty, minimalistic design with a touch of subtle extravagance. His newest collection is also inspired by this concept.
Draperies on dresses, pointedly placed pleats on wide pants, mini-skirts and an extensive palette of materials, which strikes out with leather, but also wool and transparent fabrics, add a thrilling character to the simple-colored fashion. The purist color spectrum, which is marked by greys, black and white, emphasizes the significance of the cuts and the silhouette that defines Wang’s fashion.
My favorite piece is the black jumper which consists of a transparent material that is decorated by opaque, wide stripes. One stripe covers the breast and shows the American symbol for explicit content. Don’t worry. Alexander Wang’s fashion can’t be described as explicit or obscene. It’s more sensual and utterly sophisticated.
If you are in Rio de Janeiro during the time of April 08 to April 11, you should definitely check out Alexander Wang at the Rio Fashion Week!
