BANGIN'! Alexander Wang

here i am to bring you the best and worst and such of ny fashion week fall 07. now as always i will start off with alexander wang and go through through the rest in alphabetical order because that's how everything is saved on my comp just in case you were wondering. i know, highly doubtful, but i can dream.

anyway i should probably focus on wang's most beautiful collection. i am really digging him both this season and last. it is very casual and just chill but not in the boring way. it's also kind of hipster and so being hipster scum i do enjoy it. i also am digging the lack of pants in the outfit to the right. i for one never wear pants when i can (being it is winter in nyc i cannot afford such a luxury) so i am glad i am trendy by doing and less so skanky. maybe this will convince my dad i am not a hooker and just trying to be fashionable.

now here is another cute hipster outfit. i just adore how this whole thing is put together (minus the hat which is just fug and unnecessary, i mean what girls wear beanies these days??? hopefully very few). i would wear this all the time but i dunno how practical it would be for late fall. i feel like with all the rips in the tights would make me kinda cold. oh well when i am back in lalaland i can wear it all the time. oh i miss la weather. oh well. A++ to mister wang for his collection.

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.
