Fashion Distraction :: Alexander Wang Spring 2010

February 1st, 2010 by crystal

It makes me feel a little old when ‘classic’ refers to styles of the 1980’s. Alexander Wang is a mere babe, though. His Spring 2010 collection is an ode to the All-American girl, the Varsity girl, the college co-ed. Sportswear inspired, Wang took familiar pieces like chinos and tighty whities and reworked them into amazing pieces that look as though they were always meant to be worn in his vision. Surprising elements like classic (there we go again) gray sweatshirts, khakis, basic blue denim, knee high socks and basic sports bras were incorporated into amazing new styles.

To Take Away…

Sportswear, sleek lines and sheer fabrics are all trends we’ve seen different iterations of from other designers. Definitely trends for Spring 2010.

Thoughts

What I take from this collection more than anything else is the inspiration to rethink the pieces I have hanging in my closet. I feel challenged to stylize that gray sweatshirt I thought was only for lounging around the house or the well-worn khakis I was saving for house painting.
