The video of Alex Wang’s show was live-streamed and if you missed that you can now watch the replay at Milkmade [UPDATE: video after the flip below]. Above are some more backstage images from Twitter (float your icon over the image for credit). When I read the initial comments on Thefashionspot about the show, including some chuckle-worthy ones questioning the “floating penis” above the runway, I was expecting to be disappointed, but seeing the looks myself there were obviously at least half a dozen standout items that are sure to be on every Alex girl’s want list, starting with the the trousers and skirts featuring copper zigzags, the bottoms in general, and–swoon, swoon, swoon–all the silky, kimono-inspired dresses. Shoes were great but no new strides there and I need some time to ponder the bags, which are toned down and smaller than in past collections. Time will tell. More backstage images of Alex himself, shoes, bags, a close up on a very neat print and one of Karen Elson in an amazing red velvet bathrobe before the show.

Full sets of Alex Wang’s Spring 2011 collection aren’t up at the moment, but a few looks have shown up on Karen Kooper’s Twitter. A pair of shoes shot backstage are featured here. Definitely the fashion world will be keeping an eye on Wang’s shoes and bags for as much attention as his modern sportswear looks garner, his accessories are killing it. On the next page, see the mint green he uses that will at the very least be a hot nail polish shade for spring, while the white-dreadlocked-East-Village-girl-inspired hair might fall flat.
