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 seem to always start a collection by designing outerwear and jackets.

I think sometimes there are negative connotations for those who have a business mind as well as a creative side.

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.
