Alexander Wang S/S 2018 – Review
INSPIRED BY:Â Freedom fighters and the 90’s groupie-grunge lifestyle. Wang got his dollar’s worth by carting his 32 models around Manhattan in a convoy of Dodge Ram trucks, before setting up shop streetside in Brooklyn.

WEAR IT TO:Â The first rave of the summer season – Diplo at converted warehouse hipster hotspot Output in Williamsburg.
FIRST READ: Key looks included a deconstructed tank dress with stud detail, and Joan Smalls in a black twist-front evening dress with high slit and zip hardware, worn over a distressed slouch jean with side zipper detailing. After the show, Wang treated guests to donut towers, cocktail juice pouches, an igloo ice bar, NARS makeup stations and a bouncing castle. All-American Dominos ended the night of fashion feasting.
BEST LOOK:Â A striped men’s shirt with a built-in silk cami, teamed with denim and leather cigarette pants and red leather boots.
EYE-CATCHING ACCENTS:Â Custom crystal ‘After After Party’ Stephen Jones Millinery party crowns and black crystal feather boas, paired with a bra top and corset with suspended-lingerie detail and black sleeve tie pant.
