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

Alexander Wang
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
Alexander Wang
Probably the earliest memories for me would be going to restaurants with my family.
Alexander Wang
It's hard sometimes to take a step back and realize what's happened because you're always trying to move forward. You're always looking at the next palette.
Alexander Wang
No one is going to understand your brand better than you.
Alexander Wang
Time passes faster and faster, but with every project I always want to find the next challenge and the next challenge is just as exciting as the previous one.
