ALEXANDER WANG – NEW YORK S/S 2011 FASHION SHOW

This year Alexander Wang surprisingly featured a collection that consisted primarily of white looks rather than his usual black pieces. “I was looking for something optimistic,” he said, “something pure.” His construction theme was part of his real life experience with his expanding studio, new apartment and the building of his first store on Grand Street. The mix of beiges and burnt orange added to the over-all very upbeat collection, with strips of rose gold placed here and there meant to resemble duct tape.  A far more wearable collection than some of his past seasons, no doubt with his new store opening he is focusing more on sales.
