Designer: Alexander Wang

• “Alexander Wang thrilled his guests with futuristic outfits that glow in the dark as he reaffirmed his flair for the theatrical at New York fashion week.” {AFP}
• “Though I am the first to acknowledge the power of his brand, I have long remained immune to the charms of Alexander Wang, so I am happy to report that his spring 2013 collection is, even for me, an extremely seductive exercise in black, white, and silver.” {The Cut/New York Magazine}
• “Looking beyond the horizon, the boy wonder produced a sporty, futuristic lineup.” {FabSugar}
• “If any New York designer is setting the agenda in modern fashion it is Alexander Wang, whose latest collection was a surgically re-constructed interpretation of the modern urban uniform that managed to be beautiful and gutsy, bizarre yet plausible.” {Fashion Wire Daily}
• “It’s rare, during New York Fashion Week, to attend a show that has audiences literally cheering aloud. At Alexander Wang’s Spring 2013 show today, that’s precisely what happened.” {fashionologie}
• “The show already felt vital and dynamic–then came its vibrant ending: Models lined up for a glow-in-the-dark effect that changed graphic into color, bringing an ovation from the crowd.” {International Herald Tribune}
• “Mr. Wang’s fancifully sliced-up clothes seemed to hit a wall.” {The New York Times}
• “Deconstructing garments is not a new conceit in fashion … but the designer proved his authority in this collection by taking that idea in an intriguing direction that stayed true to his own streamlined, hard-edged contemporary sportif-chic aesthetic.” {Vogue.com}
• “Alexander Wang has come undone. Kind of. At least his fall collection, a clever riff on his usual It-girl doyenne vibe, had the audience rethinking what it means, exactly, to come apart at the seams.” {Vogue.com UK}
• “More than merely engineered for the in crowd, the lineup was sophisticated and very smart. While Wang holds fast to something quite specific–stripped-down street with an urgent attitude–he does not lack for inventive ways to handle it.” {WWD}
