Any style that Nike makes in all black, shoe, sweatshirt, onesie, doesn't matter, I pretty much need to have.

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.

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 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.

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.

Anyone can get dressed up and glamorous, but it is how people dress in their days off that are the most intriguing.

Go with your instinct and your gut. It sounds cliché, but never give up and just keep on. If you really believe in it, you have to just dive in and go for it.
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.

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.

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.

Everyone always asks me who my muse is, or who's the girl I have in mind, which is such a hard question for me to answer because I feel like it's a sensibility that varies for each individual.
