Wang: smoke and fire

Alexander Wang remains one of my favorite talents on the scene: despite the simplicity and geometrical cuts of his garments, his attention to details is admirable. Single pleats, twists, 'gloved sleeves', coupled with a wonderful mix of fabrics: leather, wool, fur, felt, mohair. Not to mention his non-apparel range: double-handled 2-sided handbags, pointy shoes 'softened' with chunky woolen socks. The colour palette is not surprising for his AW13 collection: shades of smoky grey revived by contrasting red-haired models.











The loves? Flaming red hair ponytails and fur 'boxing' gloves: as usual A. Wang cannot escape his Rock and underground touch...I love it!
