Alexander Wang Spring 2014

Alexander Wang Spring 2014

Fashion prodigy Alexander Wang, a talent beyond his 29 years of age, showcased his Spring 2014 Collection at New York Fashion Week with much hype surrounding his show. Highly respected amongst fashion peers, Wang didn't disappoint. He is the designer who consistently breaks new ground with covetable clothing and fashion darlings aplenty clamour to get their hands on anything labelled Wang!

Fashion newcomer Anna Ewers opened the show in a dove grey, pleated, rah rah skirt with white cummerbund slung low over hips. A navel baring, sloping shoulder sweat with funnel neck offered clean, stark lines. Ewers clenched an envelope clutch which was clasped at the base of the bag for nonchalant cool. Materials included mustard pebbled leather with black accents.

Post show model Josephine Skriver posted a photo of herself on Instagram with her new handbag, a gift from Wang. A handbag which will definitely have an extensive waiting list. The pulling power of the official Model off Duty uniform continues to reign supreme.

A feminine powder puff blue, cropped peplum camisole, was paired with a free flowing man style trouser worn 7/8 length. A doctor's style envelope clutch in oxblood hardened the silhouette. High waisted, fluid, grey marle culottes were teamed with a grey argyle knit cardigan worn buttoned at the bust. The look embodied loungewear with a preppy twist.

A modern day pyjama ensemble comprised of a muted rose pinstripe boxer short with elasticised waist and scalloped hem married with structured elbow length shirt with stiff white collar detail. A long sleeve version featured in the shade of cornflower blue.

A leather trackpant with strong athletic references was teamed with a midriff baring oversized top with bib overlay complete with asymmetrical hemline. Irina Kravchenko sported a deep mahogany pebbled overnight bag, concluding the look.

Nineties slogans were emblazoned across tees including 'Parental Advisory Explicit Content' in techy pearlescent fabrics. Perforated, flesh tone, elbow length leather gloves accompanied a houndstooth bralet and culotte. Houndstooth continued to feature on a parka, mini skirt and cropped top.

Logo mania dominated on a pinafore dress consisting of leather strips emblazoned with the letters ALEXANDER WANG. Logo adornment continued throughout and was evident on a high waisted skirt with thigh high split detail and leather strap braces, a white and grey leather slip dress worn low on the bust and a boatneck apron dress.

Wang favourite Kasia Struss donned a white, wrap, bouffant straight jacket twinned with flat front high waisted short with side peplum.

Platform pointy toed shootie with chunky sculptural heel, metal eyelets and criss cross laces were the footwear of choice.

Erin Wasson closed the show in a square boatneck, white perforated knee length apron with cross strap detail and pleated skirting worn exposing side bust, modesty was not evident here. Fashionistas will be waiting with baited breath for the much anticipated unveiling of Wang's Balenciaga collection in Paris at the end of this month.
