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.

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

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

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

In the beginning I pushed toward perfection, but it takes time to get to certain places.
Alexander Wang
Image
I tend to like the most basic pieces with the perfect fit and fabric, like a simple tank.

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.

My mom would put me in these preppy little suits and slick my hair to the side. I have these baby pictures of me where I'm this little preppy kid with a sweater tied around my neck.

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.
