Someone is desperate for attention from the IG crowd.

This collection is laughable, this looks like a mixture of TF and the current Mugler but through the atelier of Shein. It's kinda sad for him.
The tailoring is abysmal, those mini dresses look like Forever 21 discounts. And the fake furs look appalling. And the fringe at the end is the saddest fringe I saw in my life.
The menswear stinks.
If you want to do the so bad good vulgar look, you have to perfect your craft. The clothes can look vulgar but the executions should not. But I guessed people who wear this brand doesn't care about quality anyway.

Whatever, close this brand and become a creative director for Hot Topic next.

And this, ladies and gentlemen are why you should never build a boutique fashion label on youth hype. The Hanne/Anna/Binx crowd who used to reflect his aesthetic so perfectly have all grown up and moved on and now he's stuck trying very desperately to stay relevant to the times.

He needs a reboot. It's actually a more dressier collection, but I don't know what it's trying to say.

Why is it that problematic designers get away with barely a scratch to their reputation, but photographers got blacklisted from existence in an instant? Pathetic industry.

It's awful as usual.

 

[Lax89]

Who would want to wear this?
Also, what happened to Cat McNeil?

 

[liberty33r1b]

just awful

There’s something sad about this…
Almost pathetic.
The weird things is that I almost enjoy it, I like the trashy allure of it all, the like the wide pants and it has this « bad but good » taste to it but at the same time, it doesn’t exude quality so it will never be great.

@Benn98 said exactly what needed to be said…

It’s not edgy and subversive enough to appeal to the young hype crowd and it hasn’t evolved in quality to become timeless in it lane.
The NYC cool chick or whatever wears Mugler or she wears The Row or Celine I don’t know. She wants a status symbol, she wants at least a name that resonate to somebody…Like Jacquemus.

 

[Gazillion]

Who would want to wear this?

Julia Fox and people who think Christian Cowan's design is trashy... anyways... i think Wang really lost it...

 

[eugenius]

The menswear is total garbage (I know..SHOCKER.). He’s not into it; nobody asked for it; and plus, I might be wrong, but didn't the whole Amer-I-can menswear boom expire years ago? So why bother?

 

[GivenchyHomme]

It looks like a prostitute trying and failing to get the Gucci look.

 

[Xone]

What a terrible collection....this is not a comeback collection...you failed AW come back in september....but it's true tons of brands are doing this and better....he needs to find his place again and don't go on the tricks but on the craft bc quality looks bad bad bad....someone "styled" this?

 

[Cocteau Stone]

This is just sad.

it has nothing to it to really give it substance and now that his casting has also shot to sh*t, there’s no way to give these pieces any “coolness”. It’s just vapid.

A lot of Cher, studio 54 and ‘70s/lingerie naughtiness’ references in here, and the only way he thought to pull this off is to rummage through archives of Christopher Kane, YSL and Mackie but recreate them so poorly. Mixed with all the references from current Mugler, Michele’s Gucci and strangely Williams Givenchy, among others, it all lands flat first on its face. Why should we care about this?

Even if the controversy didn’t happen, he was never going to last anyway. The brand really relied on the hype and extreme support of the industry to give it something of worth. People have have moved on and grown up.

 

[jeanclaude]

I can picture Madonna in the ad campaign.
This collection looks as desperately trying to look youth and relevant again as her.

 

[penny609]

When the background and lighting look better than the clothes... Also the party dresses are just hideous as can be.

 

[upzilicious]

I used to be his fan and really love his work so much.
Alexander Wang was the one of the most powerful brand (I think)
but after the controversy his sense of design is dead with the brand.
Look at the brand now is so cheap and not chic at all
Everything is downgrade - the collection, the venue, celebrities even the models in the show
You can't imagine that he used to book the BIG NAME MODELS closing F/W 2014 Collection
and becomes THIS! karma is real

The menswear looks like it was gotten from a dollar store. I wish he had gone more in the direction opf look 6. Its giving me a more edgy Pulp Fiction. The evening dresses look like they only got half way with the inspiration.

 

[thatsfierce]

Lol at everything specially the fringe part. Now I believe in Karma.
