Strength to Strength



Like everyone else in the fashion world I too am perpetually wiping drool from the side of my mouth every time I see something created by Alexander Wang. His new 2010 Resort collection is no exception. Picture a lighter yet still predominantly neutral colour palette, a somewhat neater less grungy approach yet still with strong and sexy model off duty inspirations.

Wang continues to grow every collection and seems unstoppable thanks to his mass following. Each collection he has presented depicts a new evolution of the Wang girl. She is inherently grungy yet growing ever more sophisticated. This resort collection has a sportswear element anchored throughout thanks to its strong inclusions of shorts, anoraks and drawstring, pocket and zippered finishings. However you can't take the downtown out of this girl. She is still staying true to her heritage through cross over midnight blue sequin skirts paired with unkempt sweaters, effortless jersey t-shirts, shredded relaxed fit jumpers and motorcycle jackets. That effortlessly flawless appeal is still strong.

This collection appears a stray away from Wang's highly regarded style at first glance  but upon closer inspection it is him at his most sophisticated and luxurious to date.
