Alexander Wang F/W 07.08 NYC

[peacelover142002]

NEW YORK, February 3, 2007 – For his second full ready-to-wear show, Alexander Wang focused on a combination of eighties hip-hop and seventies Parisian chic, channeling Run-D.M.C. and YSL simultaneously. As unlikely a mix as those influences are, Wang managed to pull off a modern and polished, not to mention commercially viable, collection.

A dense crowd turned up at an abandoned Hell's Kitchen warehouse to applaud slim cropped-at-the-ankle leather pants with a hint of biker about them, and a silk crepe T-shirt dress studded at the hem. The green matte-paillette shirtdress or the pleated gray silk strapless number would be fun for a party-girl night out, paired with a little fur jacket for Uptown or an olive anorak for Down. Wang, who first made his name with his line of cashmere knits, is off to a strong start.

There are definitely some nice pieces here, like the grey sweater and white pants, the white T-shirt dress with gold studs at the bottom, and the floaty grey and navy dress.

I like quite a bit of it, though soem pieces dont look like they're from the same collection.

Also, those gold sandals w/ black stockings...God, please. NO

 

[BerlinRocks]

i have no idea why, but i like the show... maybe because i like the styling.

[Dkammern]

i like it a lot!! but there's a bit of last-season-paris-collections feeling...too bad!

 

[anaisanais]

i like it i like it i like it - tho mayb not as much as his last collection - this seems to be taking a diff direction

 

[DJCNOR]

I liked the medieval-looking tunics and the shorts, even the shorts jumpsuit (jumpsuits are a trend I've seen in several shows now), but definitely not the very wide trousers.

Scott, snap! As I was scrolling down the page I was thinking Daryl K as well....! I loved Wang's debut collection so I guess this is a case of sophomore struggle......

I do like some of it though...the tailored grey jacket is lovely.

 

[it-boy's nature]

i like it alot, i think it's consistent and reflects his personal taste which is not bad at all.
