Wang & His Apple

As a Native Californian, Wang was born and raised in San Francisco and has a Chinese-American family heritage. At the age of 18, he moved to New York City where he attended Parsons Design School and partook in a variety of internships including Marc Jacobs, Derek Lam and Vogue. By his sophomore year, Wang was already designing the first collection of his label Alexander Wang. Now at 24, Wang has no regrets leaving school early as he launches his first Resort Collection to rave reviews.

Alexander Wang recently created a small limited edition collection for Japanese retailer Uniqlo. The collection consists of light weight fabrics that look silken in their movement and to the touch. I approve of his greys, blacks, and creams that work both in the summer and in the colder months. Appropriate for Perth’s weather gathered by the past few weeks of 2 degrees mornings. If you can’t make it to the store in the big apple you may have to settle for eBay and a long wait of arrival but all is worth it and every cent.
