Who is Alexander Wang?
He’s more than just a designer…to his legions of devotees, Alexander Wang is a kindred spirit. Like his unofficial muse—a street-smart modernist-meets-vagabond—the 23-year-old Wang possesses a sense of confidence that runs deep. He managed to kick off his first fashion show at just 15. Started making dresses for this sister in law who was a club promoter… at the age of 15! Amazing.
“Anyone can get all dressed up and glamorous, but it is how people dress in their off days, that are the most intriguing”He was born and raised in San Francisco and has a Chinese American family. Moved to NYC at 18 to attend Parsons Design School and partook in a variety of internships. He launched his full womens collection in 2007, selling internationally to over 150 boutiques and retailers.
