mister wang

so i am start things out in this blog with the mercedes benz spring 2008 nyc fashion week, which i had the opportunity to attend a show of but i'll get to that later. for now i will just be talking about the alexander wang collection.

i actually i am very fond of this collection even though he uses more bland colors which you will soon learn i am not a huge fan of. though i think the simplicity of this collection is what makes it so fabulous.

the look on the left is one of my favorites. the shirt looks incredibly convertible and could be worn with virtually anything unless you are wearing white pants which 90% of the time is a bad idea. anyway the shorts are also very plain and simple and the loose fit just adds to the flowy, comfortable feel of the outfit. now what really brings the whole outfit together for me is the blazer. i absolutely would kill for this blazer. i just love how wang has made the blazer casual. all in all this outfit is tdf.

now for the design on the right. again these shorts come into play and though i am a big fan of them i think they look much better with a longer shirt since they are so baggy but that's not why i chose this outfit. the sweater here is absolutely marvelous. i love metallics (i really am just attracted to shiny things) and this is the first sweater i have seen that has successfully done metallic. also the gray linings tone down the brightness of the whole sweater which keeps it front being too flashy. all-in-all this would be a great sweater for everyday wear.
