Alexander Wang for UNIQLO: Confirmed

Noot in Alexander Wang.jpgNot too long ago, we reported a very fun rumor - that Alexander Wang would follow in the steps of Phillip Lim, Alexander Plokhov and Lutz & Patmos and design a capsule collection for UNIQLO.


WWD confirms the rumor this morning, reporting that the collaboration is a part of UNIQLO’s Designer Invitation Project. Other young designers showing capsule collections along with Wang include Juliana Jabour, Tim Hamilton and Loden Dager.

The collection, just eight pieces, will be available in stores for only the month of May, so we expect the whole thing to be sold out by May 3rd. Stay tuned for scans.

The best part? Every piece of the collection will be under $79, with some pieces at just $29.

Now that’s cheap - actually, inexpensive - fashion we can get behind.

A question: is Alexander Wang related to Vera Wang? I'm always chocked when really young designers come out wiht their own line at, like, the ripe old age of 22 or whatever...

not related to vera wang...but i do believe that his parents own textile factories in china, so that's one familial connection that has prob helped him out a bit.
