Designing a product and understanding how it filters through into the market and into the rest of the company is very important to me.

More quotes by Alexander Wang

Image
I always wanted to create a collection inspired by sports. I never played sports, maybe that's why it intrigues me.
Alexander Wang
Image
I really learn from something that really inspires me and it becomes something that I remember.
Alexander Wang
Image
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.

Image
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.

Any style that Nike makes in all black, shoe, sweatshirt, onesie, doesn't matter, I pretty much need to have.
Alexander Wang
Image
When I decided to launch my first knitwear line, it was because I saw a void in the basics category. The editors were always looking for cool, fashion-forward tees and sweaters. So that's where I started.

Probably the earliest memories for me would be going to restaurants with my family.
Alexander Wang
Image
I wear sports clothes because I feel comfortable in them.

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.
Alexander Wang
Image
I feel so thankful that I'm able to be a part of something that I love to wake up and run to work every day.
Alexander Wang
Image
I thought I would attend school and get an assistant position and work my way up but being in NY and seeing the pace of everything, is very inspiring.
Alexander Wang
Image
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
Image
I tend to like the most basic pieces with the perfect fit and fabric, like a simple tank.
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.
Alexander Wang
Image
If someone realises the piece they are wearing is inspired by me then it only broadens my audience.
Alexander Wang
Image
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
All my closest friends are the ones I made while in college or who knew me growing up. They keep me grounded, and I adore that about them.
Alexander Wang
Image
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.

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