Everyone always asks me who my muse is, or who's the girl I have in mind, which is such a hard question for me to answer because I feel like it's a sensibility that varies for each individual.

My mom would take me to restaurants, and the first thing I'd ask for would be a pen and a napkin, and I'd sketch shoes and shoes and shoes.

Image
In the beginning I pushed toward perfection, but it takes time to get to certain places.
Alexander Wang
Image
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.

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.

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
Image
My mission was that I wanted to see people on the street that I don't know wearing my clothes. That excites me.
Alexander Wang
Image
I wear sports clothes because I feel comfortable in them.

Where music leads, I follow.

Image
I mean, I've always said I have an amazing team and network of friends and people that I work with that, you know, inspire me and enable me to do what I do.

Image
If someone realises the piece they are wearing is inspired by me then it only broadens my audience.
Alexander Wang
Image
I think everyone shares a fear of failure - that you're only as good as your most recent collection. That's definitely a fear, but it's a fear that fuels me, that makes me want to work harder, that makes me take on more challenges.

I really learn from something that really inspires me and it becomes something that I remember.
