Alexander Wang
fashion brother school
I was in fashion school, my brother has a law background, and my sister-in-law had worked in production, but none of us had a proper fashion business education.
jobs design done
The industry's changed so much that you can't just design something, put on a great show, and say, 'Okay, my job is done.'
