moving creativity thinking
A lot of designers get caught up in the creativity, but you've got to think about the legs of your collection - essentially, how the line is going to move forward.
memories would-be my-family
Probably the earliest memories for me would be going to restaurants with my family.
team locks likes
I've always said I'm not the kind of designer who likes to lock himself away in a studio and let the rest of the company deal with it. I work very closely with everyone on the team.
writing names draws
I like to write and draw everything with sharpies. I even got one with my own name on it!
mom shoes firsts
My mom would take me to restaurants, and the first thing I'd ask for would be a pen and a napkin, and I'd sketch shoes and shoes and shoes,
fun team creativity
I am honoured to be a part of H&M's designer collaborations. The work with their team is an exciting, fun process. They are very open to pushing boundaries and to set a platform for creativity. This will be a great way for a wider audience to experience elements of the Alexander Wang brand and lifestyle.
people lines way
The great thing is that young talent isn't tied to a how-to model for starting a line; we get to find new ways to go about doing things. And don't let people tell you you can't. Go find a way to show that you can.
girl mind answers
Everyone always asks me who my muse is, or who's the girl I have in mind, which is such a hard question for me to answer because I feel like it's a sensibility that varies for each individual.
care freak insects
I don't care how small or big they are, insects freak me out.
growing-up college made
All my closest friends are the ones I made while in college or who knew me growing up. They keep me grounded, and I adore that about them.
team mean people
I mean, I've always said I have an amazing team and network of friends and people that I work with that, you know, inspire me and enable me to do what I do.
running able wake-up
I feel so thankful that I'm able to be a part of something that I love to wake up and run to work every day.
jobs design done
The industry's changed so much that you can't just design something, put on a great show, and say, 'Okay, my job is done.'
fashion brother school
I was in fashion school, my brother has a law background, and my sister-in-law had worked in production, but none of us had a proper fashion business education.
