It's a damn good thing that Alexander Wang is so freakin' talented! Otherwise, I'd be shooting jealousy out of my every orifice. This young New Yorker has created some truly remarkable looks over the past three years, and there is no denying his inherent flare for fashion. At only 25 years old, he has quickly become one of the fashion world's best known designers for womenswear. I recently heard the news that he was going to be branching more into menswear, so thought it was an appropriate time to start bridging the gap between the two sexes here on POP. Here are some looks from Wang's 2011 Resort collection that accentuate what makes him one of my favourite designers.
Wang entered the fashion industry as a master of the deconstructed look. With his latest collection, he does nothing to quell this fact. I love the piecey-ness of this skirt!
Another of Wang's trademarks comes from his use of layers. Generally speaking, layers are achieved by combining multiple pieces of clothing to create said look. Wang, however, is a master of creating this highly sought after look using only one piece. The hugely over exaggerated pleating of the pants to the right is exquisite!
Who said that chunky shirts were only okay when guys wear them?? With the 'boyfriend' look becoming much more mainstream this season among the ladies, why not wear something that's oh-so-chunky? I love the high shorts in the look to the right, and the cardigan that they're being paired with. With a more relaxed fitting sweater, an effortless, yet put-together look is created.
For us gentlemen, Wang has introduced his menswear line with some simple tees. I'm usually one to sway toward something more slim fitting, but I find the relaxed baginess of these tees to border on elegance. The spacious fit will also allow for more breathing room during the sweaty summer months. For a full look at Alexander's men's tees, visit his online store.
