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

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
I always say that I'm really inspired by mistakes and things that kind of go wrong.

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.

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.

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

I wear mostly black Main Line or T… But the other day, the sun was shining so I wore blue jeans. It caused so much excitement in the office! People were literally coming up from the floor below and peering behind my desk saying we hear you’re wearing blue jeans and we have to have a look

Image
My mission was that I wanted to see people on the street that I don't know wearing my clothes. That excites me.
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.

I always wanted to create a collection inspired by sports. I never played sports, maybe that's why it intrigues me.
Alexander Wang
Image
If you're designing out of a purely creative place, not thinking of the girl, then the consumer's not going to take notice.

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.

I really learn from something that really inspires me and it becomes something that I remember.

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