New York Fashion Week Coverage
Alexander Wang Spring 2012
If this spring collection by Alexander Wang looks completely different than his spring collection for 2011, you’ve been paying attention. This is a major departure from his nearly-all-white SS11 show, but the departure is a welcomed one. Wang, seemingly unencumbered by expectations, has embraced his role as fashion’s street style guru. This collection is tough, sporty, and sure to be a hit with the youth crew.
The looks here are rather severe for spring athleticwear. The tough tops and pants, dresses, and skiwear ensembles are protective in a way that’s meant to ward off the elements and the unwanted advances. Think of it is as cool street style armor. The velvet one-piece dress should look soft – seeing as how it’s made of velvet – but the extra bulky pockets and punchy cut give off a “don’t mess with me” vibe. Though this could easily stray into masculine territory, Wang keeps the look feminine, but feminine at its fiercest.
