Alexander Wang.............sigh. My favorite newest designer paired aptly with Phillip Lim, Proenza Schouler and Derek Lam. I usually love his heroin chic look, famously inspired by his partner in crime, the beautiful Erin Wasson. But after such an amazing fall 2008 collection filled with tattered legwear, oversized blazers and mugger-esque head wear my hopes were understandably high. So with anticipation and a click of the mouse I viewed his collection that didn't quite deliver the zsa zsa zsu. Although the line is just nice, I was less than enthusiastic over those drunken gladiator flats he decided to place on his models, leaving their statuesque portioned bodies looking very dumpy. His designs actually reminds me of past Stella collections. This is not a slap at Stella McCartney, she is after all another of my favorite designers. But there are certain looks that Stella can pull off and Wang can't and visa versa. Hopefully Wang's following collection will be up to par. So I guess I'll apprehensively hold my breath, while awaiting his Spring 09' line in September.

Never was really a fan of the resort lines. While this collection is much better then most resort collection, It still doesn't seem as "Alexander Wang" as it could have been, he is like a breath of fresh air, and will be very very popular with young and old fashion lovers.
I completely agree. I was a little disappointed after having a fall 08collection that I loved. But I'm sure he'll be better for Spring 09.
Alexander Wang is a genius!!!! I love all of his designs! ;)
