NYFW: Alexander Wang AW15/16
Theme: Wang quoted his inspirations for this season as 'Punk meets Victorian Goth, Marilyn Manson and Heavy Thrash metal'
Palette: Black, black, black with velvet and leather texture. A little bit of tartan was thrown in just to keep us on our toes.
Accessories: Platforms, hiking boots and leather studded duffle bags.
Key Look: Layered look of the fir collar thrown over a bomber over a chainmail dress.
Review: Finally, a Wang collection with not a gym related garment in sight! The collection felt heavy and definitely appeals to those who like to live hard and fast. Last season Wang bought us an array of fluoro but this season it was back to monochrome with the exception of two tartan jackets. Chain mail was used in conjunction with fur and added to the strong vibe The greasy strands the models peered through with attitude emanated the kind of 90's grunge look Wang seemed to have been aiming for. Definitely his best yet.
