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

Take people's advice and guidance in the beginning, but always follow your instincts first

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.

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.

I've always said I'm not the kind of designer who likes to lock himself away in a studio and let the rest of the company deal with it. I work very closely with everyone on the team.

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.

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.

The great thing is that young talent isn't tied to a how-to model for starting a line we get to find new ways to go about doing things. And don't let people tell you you can't. Go find a way to show that you can.

I like to write and draw everything with sharpies. I even got one with my own name on it!
Alexander Wang

I tend to like the most basic pieces with the perfect fit and fabric, like a simple tank.

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.
