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 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

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 always wanted to create a collection inspired by sports. I never played sports, maybe that's why it intrigues me.

The industry's changed so much that you can't just design something, put on a great show, and say, 'Okay, my job is done.'
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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

You know, when you go to high school or, you know, when kids are younger and there's not an understanding of differences. But I built up a very strong, thick skin.
