Alexander Wang’s market proliferation is undeniable. Since 2007, Alexander Wang has fascinated and stimulated the fashion industry with his perspective on urban wear and expert tailoring skills. From being the creative director for Balenciaga from 2012 through early 2015 to designing a collection for H&M in 2014, Wang’s collections are now sold in over 700 stores.
For this 2016 resort season, Alexander Wang has created a denim collection that harkens back to the 1990s in style and color palette. Think Alanis Morrisette of the early 90s mixed in with a bit more restrained Courtney Love of that era updated to 2016 and it’s easy to relate to the inspiration that Wang conjured up for this collection.
Expanding upon his first denim collection, which featured an edited range including everything from skinnies to a relaxed boyfriend cut, this time around the designer has added 14 new styles. New styles include the Bite Cut-Off Short, the Trap Boot-Cut Cropped Jean, the Daze Oversized Denim Jacket, and the Rave Wide-Leg Jean.
Ranging from slim fit to cropped flare and from light to black wash, the Wang woman has denim for just about every occasion, perfect for mixing and matching with other staples. The strongest pieces are the distinguished crop tops with unusual cutouts and shirts with the characteristic Wang barcode.
Wang’s 2016 resort denim collection is modeled by Wang’s muse Anna Ewers. Discovered on a blog by Wang in 2013, Anna Ewers has inspired Wang for several seasons. Since 2015, Ewers has been featured in more than 100 editorials, campaigns, and lookbooks, including magazine covers for i-D, Numero China, Vogue China, Vogue Italy, Vogue Paris and W. She has walked the runway for over top 60 designers, notably Balenciaga, Balmain, Calvin Klein, Chanel, Dior, Donna Karan, Fendi, Lanvin, LouisVuitton, Marc Jacobs, Prada, Ralph Lauren, and Versace amongst many other. Anna Ewers is signed with Women Management and Storm Model Management.
