Alexander wang

They called him a "T-shirt designer" and did not believe that a young ambitious boy could achieve anything more. Many people still wonder how he was able in just six years to go the way that others take years.

Today we will get acquainted with the American brand of a young Californian who managed to conquer the whole world in just one decade.

Alexander Wang is a popular brand founded by a talented designer whose surname can be pronounced like Wang and Wong, but the first option is still preferable.

Alexander was born in San Francisco and from childhood became interested in sewing and designing clothes. Parents strongly supported their son's hobbies, so he had the opportunity to do what he loved as a teenager.

In 2002, Wang moved to New York and entered the Parson School of Design to study with the famous Marc Jacobs. True, he did not manage to finish school - Alexander started creating his own clothes, dropped out of school and was expelled.

But the young designer did not lose heart - in 2005 he registered his own brand Alexander Wang, becoming one of the youngest American designers.

Two years later, he presented his first official collection at New York Fashion Week. It was dominated by unisex-style models, and simple knitwear was used for sewing, so ill-wishers instantly called him a "T-shirt designer".

But this could not overshadow the effect produced - critics and journalists immediately reacted positively, thanks to which the clothes were scattered in more than 200 stores across the States.

In 2008, the designer released a collection of accessories, and a year later he began to create shoes. At the same time, he launched the relaxed T by Alexander Wang line of basic apparel.

At the end of 2012, the brand's second boutique was opened in Beijing, and Alexander himself was appointed art director of the Balenciaga Fashion House.

In 2014, the Alexander Wang Denim line of denim was launched.

The designer himself boasts countless collaborations with various brands of clothing, accessories, cosmetics, appliances and furniture.

The Alexander Wang brand is not only its creator, but a whole team of more than 100 peoplewho deal with various issues. This is how almost all designers work, but Wang is one of the few who does not forget to mention it.

Fashion magazines and stylists describe the brand's style as "urban chic," and Wang says she is inspired by grunge, hip-hop, rock, street aesthetics and ordinary people. His clothes are always simple and laconic, there are no unnecessary fancy details in them and you rarely find handmade elements.

Alexander believes that “it's great to create intricate clothes, but if you can't wear them every day, then what's the point?” And it's hard to disagree with him.

In 2014, a show of the collection was held, which the designer presented together with a well-known Swedish brand. It includes 38 women's and 23 men's models, sewn from high-tech fabrics, of which Wang is a fan.

The women's assortment included jogging tops, T-shirts, dresses, shorts with laser perforation. The predominantly seamless technique of creating and using quick-drying fabrics that are suitable for sports and an active lifestyle. Outerwear also looked very impressive - seamless parkas, down jackets and coats.

Sports bags, backpacks, water bottles, and much more were presented as accessories.

The collection was sold out in the blink of an eye, but items from it can still be purchased on eBAY, however, with a significant overpayment.

In 2017, the third collaboration between the sports giant and the young designer took place. Each presented collection instantly flies off the shelves of stores, because this is an excellent opportunity to become the owner of Wang design clothes at an affordable price.

As a rule, all clothing is presented in unisex style, the collection includes tracksuits, T-shirts, hoodies, shorts and sneakers... The lookbook is designed in the current style of normcorn.

Alexander says he remembers well his first Adidas sneakers - since the school had a strict uniform, they were his personal means of expression. Over the years, he continues to wear sneakers and sneakers, but now he personally designs their designs.

While releasing the latest collection, the Alexander Wang team tried to improve them as much as possible so that they do not lose their shape for as long as possible. They have invented a new approach to sneaker styling by deconstructing the sole, reducing volume around the ankle and releasing the tongue.

• For example, the RUN model has a unique lacing system that attaches to the heel and a toe insert that fits snugly around the ankle.
• The white model is called RUN CLEAN and, unlike the previous one, has no laces at all. It looks more like a sock that fits the leg tightly.

Sneakers with the uncomplicated name Skate look very stylish. They have a thick rubber sole, bulky laces and a wide range of colors, which allows you to choose several options for everyday wear at once.

Alexander Wang sandals have always been an unprecedented success. So, in 2013, the brand released a sophisticated and, at the same time, very sexy model that conquered all fashionistas. They were advanced gladiators with ankle and knee straps.

Thanks to the presence of only two straps, they did not look bulky, but on the contrary - they visually slimmed and lengthened the legs.

The designer always skillfully picks up fashion trends, adding his own zest to them. Rough, heavy sandals with thick soles are in vogue this summer, and one of the most eye-catching incarnations you'll find is this brand. Sandals with metal studs are a chic urban option for every day.

The undisputed hit of his previous collection - sandals, sandals and mules with a cut on the heel. It is not surprising that they made a splash in the fashion world. The assortment is huge: high and low heels, thick and thin, laconic and decorated with marabou feathers - in the best traditions of the 90s.

Alexander Wang bags always feature original shapes and striking metallic finishes.

In 2009, the iconic Rocco Duffel bag was invented. This is a tote bag, the bottom of which is covered with 95 brass spikes. The model has long since become a must-have for women of fashion all over the world, and the waiting list for it is constantly open!

Some time later, a smaller version of this model was released under the name Rockie. The set comes with a long strap, so it can also be worn on the shoulder like a crossbody bag.

Spikes and metal fittings have become an integral part of Alexander Wang bags and backpacks. For example, recently introduced a shopping bag covered with a "mesh" with rounded studs and a tote bag decorated with a massive chain.

The "cats" of a strict geometric shape called Zoro look unusual.

Alexander Wang for H&M Stylische Sunglasses With Sports Bands New - this is the name of the model of sunglasses, which came out in cooperation with the Swedish brand.

These are glasses with lenses that are simple in their shape, but with unusual wide arms, on which the designer's name is engraved - Wang, and a wide strap at the back, which also has the brand name.

The most unusual, perhaps, are the glasses for winter holidays, which are decorated with fur. More precisely, in the Mink Fur Sunglasses model, the fur rim plays the role of temples, securely fixing the glasses on the head. The color scheme is varied - from white and black to pale pink.
