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.

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.

Where music leads, I follow.

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
Image
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
Image
Ive always loved when girls carry their wallets as a clutch instead of a bag.
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.
Alexander Wang
Image
I tend to like the most basic pieces with the perfect fit and fabric, like a simple tank.
Alexander Wang
Image
I feel so thankful that I'm able to be a part of something that I love to wake up and run to work every day.
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
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
Image
If someone realises the piece they are wearing is inspired by me then it only broadens my audience.
Alexander Wang
Image
I really learn from something that really inspires me and it becomes something that I remember.
