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.

Image
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.

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

Ive always loved when girls carry their wallets as a clutch instead of a bag.

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.
Alexander Wang
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.

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

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

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.
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.

Image
My mom would take me to restaurants, and the first thing I'd ask for would be a pen and a napkin, and I'd sketch shoes and shoes and shoes.

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.

I was in fashion school, my brother has a law background, and my sister-in-law had worked in production, but none of us had a proper fashion business education.

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.

Where music leads, I follow.

Image
I don't care how small or big they are, insects freak me out.
Alexander Wang
Image
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.

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.
