If you're designing out of a purely creative place, not thinking of the girl, then the consumer's not going to take notice.

Designing a product and understanding how it filters through into the market and into the rest of the company is very important to me.
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 think everyone shares a fear of failure-that you're only as good as your most recent collection.

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

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

Image
Probably the earliest memories for me would be going to restaurants with my family.

Image
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 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.
Alexander Wang
Image
My friends always joke that I run on batteries.
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
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'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.
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.
Alexander Wang
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.

When you focus on the consumer, the consumer responds.

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.
