Alexander Wang Spring 2010


Already, on Day Three of New York Fashion Week, the trends are emerging. And Alexander Wang hit them all: the trench look, the eighties, and the Boyfriend look. Or is that actually just one broad trend? And by the looks of things, it won’t be a colorful spring next year. Rather than girly pinks and yellow, it’s beige and khaki that are the predominant colors so far – soft, but not dreary.

Busy, busy, busy: epaulettes, belts, pockets, pleats, zippers, cut-outs. The Wang show was full of youth – just like his avid customer base. Mr. Wang is one of the must-wear designers among the models. You know a look is hot if those reedy young things are wearing it. And there sat Diane von Furstenberg, who has confessed she is herself obsessed with the tastes of the young, front and center just down from Anna Wintour.

Pants were pleated at the tummy and narrow at the ankle, some sweaters were disco-ready, with frothy spangles. And those very-profitable accessories were in full view, from backless socks hoisted up with under-the-knee garters to boy-cut undies and matching jogging bras.
