people lines way
The great thing is that young talent isn't tied to a how-to model for starting a line; we get to find new ways to go about doing things. And don't let people tell you you can't. Go find a way to show that you can.
design jackets collections
I seem to always start a collection by designing outerwear and jackets.
fun team creativity
I am honoured to be a part of H&M's designer collaborations. The work with their team is an exciting, fun process. They are very open to pushing boundaries and to set a platform for creativity. This will be a great way for a wider audience to experience elements of the Alexander Wang brand and lifestyle.
strong school kids
You know, when you go to high school or, you know, when kids are younger and there's not an understanding of differences. But I built up a very strong, thick skin.
girl mind answers
Everyone always asks me who my muse is, or who's the girl I have in mind, which is such a hard question for me to answer because I feel like it's a sensibility that varies for each individual.
care freak insects
I don't care how small or big they are, insects freak me out.
mom shoes firsts
My mom would take me to restaurants, and the first thing I'd ask for would be a pen and a napkin, and I'd sketch shoes and shoes and shoes,
writing names draws
I like to write and draw everything with sharpies. I even got one with my own name on it!
team locks likes
I've always said I'm not the kind of designer who likes to lock himself away in a studio and let the rest of the company deal with it. I work very closely with everyone on the team.
memories would-be my-family
Probably the earliest memories for me would be going to restaurants with my family.
moving creativity thinking
A lot of designers get caught up in the creativity, but you've got to think about the legs of your collection - essentially, how the line is going to move forward.
girl thinking creative
If you're designing out of a purely creative place, not thinking of the girl, then the consumer's not going to take notice.
running batteries my-friends
My friends always joke that I run on batteries.
inspire remember
I really learn from something that really inspires me and it becomes something that I remember.
