NYFW Favorite - ALEXANDER WANG

Since both Amanda and I have been neglecting the blog a bit, I thought I would start getting back in the groove of things by doing a generic post that all "fashion blogs" do, writing about one of my favorites from New York Fashion Week. Granted, I haven't really had a lot of free time since starting school so I haven't really been able to keep up with all the shows so bare with me.

I just finished watching the Alexander Wang show, and I liked it. I thought the environment he created was cool (the runway and soundtrack) and that it went well with the clothes. I personally am more interested in street wear/ sportswear designers like Wang (Amanda I feel like not so much? Correct me if I am wrong lol) so I really liked the structured garments and gray/neutral color palette (I am also a sucker for crop tops).

But can I just say, I am obsessed with the short, pleated skirts with the wide waistband (photo below) if I had those models' legs I would rock it in a heartbeat. I am also a fan of interesting pants (A thing I so want to learn to do, pants) and Wang had some pretty interesting pants walking down the runway, the ones that kinda reminded me of gaucho pants but cooler and the pants with the interesting shapes (picture no. 5). Lastly, I love a good coat and Wang did that too.

I guess if you couldn't tell he's one of my favorite designers.

PS: I was thinking of doing an illustration of one of the runway looks (since this is also a fashion design student blog and we're supposed to post work we do too)

But for right now you can check out my tumblr for some of my artwork until I get this blog up and running: http://brittttbutter.tumblr.com/
