review

13 September 2009

Alexander Wang can't put a foot wrong of late – each season his collections define New York understated cool and perfectly divine what New York's most discerning fashion mavens want to wear. Wang’s latest collection for spring/summer 2010 cemented his position as New York's rising fashion star, shown to a full capacity audience that included industry insiders and celebrities Diane von Furstenburg, Katie Grand, Julia Restoin-Roitfeld, Anna Wintour, Erin Wasson, Terry Richardson and Rachel McAdams - proving Wang really is the one to watch this week in New York. 'My designs are always about moving my label forward, evolving the brand and challenging myself - creating clothing that may not seem typically Alexander Wang at first glance,' the designer told us backstage. 'That is always when I feel I’ve been successful, when I’ve taken a new direction and point of view – but always with the spirit of the Alexander Wang girl in mind.' The collection was certainly a departure from last spring’s Miami sun-drenched pastel hues, but the unmistakable Wang attitude was there in full swing – models apparently sans make-up wore their hair in messy braids sporting outfits that might have been borrowed from their boyfriends. Wang has always described his girl as a little rough around the edges – and this season, it was as if the all American Wang girl stepped straight off the football field and onto the runway. Models wore oversize raglan-cut grey sweatshirts cut off at the midriff, along with knee-high socks cut out to reveal the back of the calf. Extended shoulders, high-waisted leather lace-up hot-pants, striped rugby-style sweaters, sports-back vests, a silk boxing robe and varsity jackets paired with leopard print peep-toe wedges and black leather shoe-boots put a new spin on the term American Sportswear that will keep Wang fans happy for another season to come.
