As with last season, the Alexander Wang show was absolute mayhem as the industrial space filled with post-industrial black clad hipsters sipping on champagne out of convenient individual sized bottles. For the most part I steered clear. I was sopping wet from the rain, and feeling way to sticky to socialize. Although I did meet a cool japanese duo who photographed my wet-self. I also got to say a quick 'hello' to the in-house celeb, Erin Wasson, who I used to work with on Maybelline. She didn't style the show this season, but she did provide the jewelry, and her style influence definitely lives on.
Rumor had it that this season Wang was going to include bright springy colors, and I was wondering if his design aesthetic would remain bad-ass...and thankfully, it did. The bright colors were styled in a very Miami-Vice way, but with the grit and sweat of the Colin Farrell version. And don't worry, he still had the requisite amount of black in varying textures to keep the tuff sect happy. The styling was his usual mix of slouchy I-don't-give-a-fuck combined with sexy cutouts and luxe fabrics. A seemingly strange combo, but one that is very close to my heart.
Oh, Alexander, why didn't I have the balls to talk to you when I saw you at Sway?? I think you're awesome.
