Alexander Wang’s love affair with metallic shine continues with his Autum 2011 collection, started as it did with the apricot lame strips that he showed on bottoms for Spring 2011 . In this post we focus on his shoes and accessories for as much as Downtown girlies lust for every iota of his collections, it’s his shoes and especially his bags that they will murder to own. As bags size down, Wang makes his practically miniature with the two shown above the biggest of the bunch. Both are adorable, but it’s the mini-foxtails that make them next level and 100 percent covetable. On the next page, see his fur sunglasses, caped-crusader (or mudflat) sandals and some open-toe quilted boots that you will either love or despise, no in between.
