Check this action-packed and adorable shoot (photographed by Mikael Jansson) featuring Alex Wang for the March issue of Interview magazine. I like how he’s caught up in all this action that’s a little bit beyond his control. Similar to how he’s part of the new up-and-coming generation of designers who are, in some, cases, pushing the old guarde to the side.

Alexander Wang’s spring collection goes on sale today on his website at 4 pm, eastern standard time I presume, according to Elle magazine, who guesses the leopard wedges, featured above, will basically evaporate. We concur! However, this news is only a big deal for those who missed the already launched collection on ShopBop(how’d you let that happen, Alex??), where the famous “it” wedge, priced at $650, is now only available in size 35, 36 and 37.

After the runway show video linked to here, there’s an interview with Alex, in which he discusses his inspiration for his Fall 2010 collection. Until now, he’s been chummiest with the Downtownista, but this time around he pushed her in a more mature direction by fusing her sensibilities with the ultimate ’90s powerbroker, the Wallstreet business lady. Much more secure in her role than she was even ten years ago, today’s business women no longer feels required to mascarade in the female version of a man’s suit. So perhaps it is apropos for fashion to take apart and rebuild the look. Given the inspiration, it’s not suprising that the pinstripe looks are the strongest.  I’m not so sure about other parts of the show. It’ll be interesting to see how it plays out in fashion editorals.

No offical show images are on line yet from the Alexander Wang Fall 2010 show, but Wire image did have a couple of backstage images and then some cut-off runway shots. To be honest, I had no idea Alex was this aodrable! He looks all relaxed-casual here with La Diabla herself, but what do you want to bet on the inside his stomach is doing multiple flip-flops?

UPDATE: Watch a stream of the show at SHOWstudio. Loving the pinstripe trousers and skirts. Urban Outfitters, Forever 21, etc….start your knock-off engines!

Shoes like these Alex Wang “Alla” Wedges are why I love fashion. I look at them and they actually make my heart leap. They made their first apperance on Alex’s Spring 2010 runway show and now they’re coming soon to ShopBop. Dreams do really come true! And yep, tomorrow is Alex’s big day on the runway for New York Fashion Week. He shows tomorrow at 5:00 at Pier 94. Talk about a coveted ticket. I’d wager NYC’s Downtownistas would like a seat for that show at least as much as Marc Jacob’s.

One of the youngest names to have taken fashion by storm, with sold out , highly coveted apparel and accessories Alexander Wang got so speak to Colin Mcdowell of Ponystep: “Indeed, in these times of economic crisis his business is something of an enigma, with sales skyrocketing. His accessories have become the most coveted ‘must haves’ around, and more importantly, genuinely affordable. At just 25 years old the boy is something of a fashion prodigy, already heading up a team of 40 staff at his NY studio. And it’s growing. Wang’s fashion empire consists of much more than merely his Women’s line. Versatility (a recurring sound bite throughout the interview) is fundamental to the success of his label. And versatile he is, with a GAP collaboration already firmly under his belt, a newly unveiled Men’s collection and the T diffusion line all proving to be massively successful, the question prevails; what next for Alexander Wang?” Read the full inter view here.

When is a sweatshirt not a sweatshirt? When Alex Wang  gets his hand on the design, natch!

Spotted at ShopBop.

Alexander Wang’s Autumn/Winter ‘09 collection  has been  raved about by various editors , as he has been able to capture a mix of high,  low and edgy that adequately reflects an urban aesthetic fashion is currently enamored with . Where Wang really shines tough,  is in his shoe collection where he included  laced- stiletto boots that slightly remind me of  the Manolo okla boots  J.lo made famous, flat pointy-toed boots  with  hardware and  sexy plexi-heel  booties above. I want them all…

At this moment  there is a fair amount of buzz around Alexander Wang.Because he’s new-ish of course but also because he’s been able to capture the essence of high and low(a la Kate Moss),a concept that a lot would love to follow but that few have the “cojones” to make on their own.

I saw this Asymmetrical Alexander Wang Dress this week end and tought it was sorta genius .As a stylist that’s the kind of thing you would do to a very bridesmaid/boring cocktail dress in order to make it more individual/downtown cool.And that’s really the charm of Wang he approaches fashion by tweaking what’s already there and making it edgy, unexpected and understated.Alexander Wang Asymmetrical Dress @ Kirna Zabete
