I’m not like most designers, who have to set sail on an exotic getaway to get inspired. Most of the time, it’s on my walk to work, or sitting in the subway and seeing something random or out of context.

More quotes by Alexander Wang
Designing a product and understanding how it filters through into the market and into the rest of the company is very important to me.
Alexander Wang
I always say that I'm really inspired by mistakes and things that kind of go wrong.
Alexander Wang
My mom would put me in these preppy little suits and slick my hair to the side. I have these baby pictures of me where I'm this little preppy kid with a sweater tied around my neck.
Alexander Wang
I think sometimes there are negative connotations for those who have a business mind as well as a creative side.
Alexander Wang
It's hard sometimes to take a step back and realize what's happened because you're always trying to move forward. You're always looking at the next palette.
Alexander Wang
Where music leads, I follow.
Alexander Wang
Take people's advice and guidance in the beginning, but always follow your instincts first
Alexander Wang
I never really did sports growing up. Maybe that's why they intrigue me. The technology that goes into that clothing is steps ahead, so it's always been something I look towards.
Alexander Wang
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. It's not just in Bryant Park any more, people are figuring out who their audience is, where they want to show, they aren't really playing by the rules. It's not so much about these editors, these buyers.
Alexander Wang
A lot of designers get caught up in the creativity, but you've got to think about the legs of your collection - essentially, how the line is going to move forward.
Alexander Wang
I wear sports clothes because I feel comfortable in them.
Alexander Wang
Go with your instinct and your gut. It sounds cliché, but never give up and just keep on. If you really believe in it, you have to just dive in and go for it.
Alexander Wang
Ive always loved when girls carry their wallets as a clutch instead of a bag.
Alexander Wang
When you focus on the consumer, the consumer responds.
Alexander Wang
I always wanted to create a collection inspired by sports. I never played sports, maybe that's why it intrigues me.
Alexander Wang
I don't care how small or big they are, insects freak me out.
Alexander Wang
The industry's changed so much that you can't just design something, put on a great show, and say, 'Okay, my job is done.'
Alexander Wang
There's a tendency to think that young designers only do fantasy fashion, but I'm more interested in making clothes that women can afford.
Alexander Wang
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.
Alexander Wang
I was in fashion school, my brother has a law background, and my sister-in-law had worked in production, but none of us had a proper fashion business education.
