I don't think fashion week will go back to what it used to be because people are realising that the industry is completely changing.

I am honoured to be a part of H&M's designer collaborations. The work with their team is an exciting, fun process. They are very open to pushing boundaries and to set a platform for creativity. This will be a great way for a wider audience to experience elements of the Alexander Wang brand and lifestyle.

I've always said I'm not the kind of designer who likes to lock himself away in a studio and let the rest of the company deal with it. I work very closely with everyone on the team.

If someone realises the piece they are wearing is inspired by me then it only broadens my audience.

My mission was that I wanted to see people on the street that I don't know wearing my clothes. That excites me.
