Alexander Wang

Although he is still considered to be fairly new in the fashion industry, New York-based designer Alexander Wang is definitely one of the designers to watch out for once fashion week arrives. He launched his first full collection of womens wear in 2007 and he now already has a string of followers and praises from the fashion industry. In 2008, he won CDFA/Vogue Fashion Fund Award beating other designers such as Jason Wu and Juan Carlos Abando

Wang describes his clothing as, "clean and pure in aesthetic, yet layered in complexities, with an approach towards the imperfect." His looks are actually simple but also interesting at the same time. I like his affinity for the minimalist look which also looks effortless and distinct at the same time. His main inspiration is everyday street style upgraded by refined silhouettes, clean cuts and luxurious fabrics. His looks are also very reminiscent of the early 90's during the "grunge-chic" phase.
