ALEXANDER WANG spring 2010 purchase

When i went to New York two weekends ago(miss it so much already!), I made a huge splurge at barneys that subsequently has me in a little debt right now... I bought the jacket in look 12 from Alexander Wang's spring 2010 collection. Arguably his best one and my personal favorite of his. I love love love the back part of this jacket the most, the long tail in the denim is so unexpected.

Check it out on the runway: (fast forward to 3:05)


Here's an ugly picture of me in it:
(They obviously made the sleeves more wearable for retail, which i sort of wish they hadn't)

I cannot wait till it gets cooler out so that i can actually wear it.

NEW YORK

A couple(17) pictures from my trip to New York this past weekend. It was super last minute and on a whim. Did a whole bunch of touristy things, but it was so much fun.

Being/Eating like real Americans, Taking pictures like azn tourists at Times Square, Reading The New York Times at a Starbucks 2 streets away from the actual New York Times building, 20 chicken nuggets for 5$, atop the Empire State Building, the site of the first Alexander Wang store, Grand Central Station, breaking my heart(broke my heart), Magnolia Bakery, BOOKMARC, TIME'S UP, strolling through Soho, Jumping in Central Park, Losing all my money at Barneys, Late night Milkshakes, Having no more money to eat, Sweet tea, Drinking illegally on Saturday night, Being forced to walk the Brooklyn Bridge, Freezing 24/7; These are only a few of the awesome memories I have of this weekend. Now back to school and reality

ALEXANDER WANG SPRING 2011

ALEXANDER WANG SPRING 2011 : Ethereal monochromatic white looks,
light, draped, rusty nudes, dusty rose, mint(!!!), bronze + silver appliques, amazing jackets, knits, shoes, actually cool fanny pack, overall-cross detailed backs.  looooveeeee. The first look, a pair of layered white overalls were so delicately made and detailed you couldn't even tell they were overalls. Sky high pumps with chunky square heels, some possibly Timbaland inspired. Loving the Tone-on-tone styling.

Wasn't a big fan of the shiny white fabrics, the weird flower prints, the nightgown-y dresses, or the hair and makeup (like last season)

The essence was just pure spring, possibly reincarnation themed; pure, fresh, neutral, clean. We can definitely see his vision progressing.
A lot more futuristic than what he usually does but still his singular vision.
To say that this was an awesome collection, well that would be putting it mildly.



p.s. i see you terence koh!
