My favorite fashion brand
My favourite fashion brand is Alexander Wang.
The New-York based fashion designer Alexander Wang started his own label in 2005. His predominately black palette and urban streetwear style designs create a unisex figure to his pieces of fashion allowing his beliefs of “anyone can look glamorous”, this is portrayed in his runways and photo shoots by creating a simplistic, clean, and Wang uses a mixture of male and female models to portray a more inclusive image of his designs.
In Wang’s early career after the launch of his label, he debuted a women’s ready-to-wear collection on the New York catwalk in 2007. In 2008, he then went on to win the CDFA/Vogue fashion fund, where he was awarded $20,000 to expand his business, later that year he launched his first handbag collection. In 2009, Wang moved away from his predominantly black designs and used a range of bright colours such as orange, purple, aqua, and hot pink, however following this he moved back to his usual black fabrics for his designs. On February 17th, 2011, Wang’s first flagship store opened in SoHo, Lower Manhattan.
Balenciaga ~ In 2012, Alexander Wang was named creative director at Balenciaga, as creative director, Wang had the responsibility of managing the men’s and women’s ready-to-wear collection and accessories lines. Wang left Balenciaga in 2015, after designing a collection for Swedish retailer H&M in 2014.
