Alexander Wang
brands better-than-you
No one is going to understand your brand better than you.
nike fashion shoes
Any style that Nike makes in all black, shoe, sweatshirt, onesie, doesn't matter, I pretty much need to have.
hard-work thinking challenges
I think everyone shares a fear of failure - that you're only as good as your most recent collection. That's definitely a fear, but it's a fear that fuels me, that makes me want to work harder, that makes me take on more challenges.
mistake inspired kind
I always say that I'm really inspired by mistakes and things that kind of go wrong.
simple perfect fabric
I tend to like the most basic pieces with the perfect fit and fabric, like a simple tank.
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.
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.'
matter surprise surprise-in-life
A lot of my work is a matter of reacting to surprises in life.
mom baby kids
My mom would put me in these preppy little suits and slick my hair to the side. I have these baby pictures of me where I'm this little preppy kid with a sweater tied around my neck.
