More quotes by Alexander Wang
The things that you can't really foresee and that kind of surprise you, and a lot of times they are bad, but other times, they bring something different and new to the table.
Alexander Wang
Probably the earliest memories for me would be going to restaurants with my family.
Alexander Wang
No one is going to understand your brand better than you.
Alexander Wang
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
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
Take people's advice and guidance in the beginning, but always follow your instincts first
Alexander Wang
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.

Where music leads, I follow.

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.

I always wanted to create a collection inspired by sports. I never played sports, maybe that's why it intrigues me.
Alexander Wang
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.
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 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
I like to write and draw everything with sharpies. I even got one with my own name on it!
Alexander Wang
A lot of my work is a matter of reacting to surprises in life.
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
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
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.
