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.

I seem to always start a collection by designing outerwear and jackets.
Alexander Wang
Image
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
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.

Image
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.
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.

Image
I wear sports clothes because I feel comfortable in them.
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.

Image
In the beginning I pushed toward perfection, but it takes time to get to certain places.
Alexander Wang
Image
Time passes faster and faster, but with every project I always want to find the next challenge and the next challenge is just as exciting as the previous one.

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 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.

No one ever taught me, and I never had formal classes in pattern making, so I was like, Okay, I'll just drape, and I'll sew as I pin it.
Alexander Wang
Image
Anyone can get dressed up and glamorous, but it is how people dress in their days off that are the most intriguing.
Alexander Wang
Image
I tend to like the most basic pieces with the perfect fit and fabric, like a simple tank.
Alexander Wang
Image
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.
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 like to write and draw everything with sharpies. I even got one with my own name on it!

Image
I think everyone shares a fear of failure-that you're only as good as your most recent collection.

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.

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