Alexanderwang

Successful young designer's brand

Alexander Wang's story begins in 2005: the young Taiwanese designer hailing from San Francisco presents a unique collection of clothes with urban accents. Alexander has been interested in fashion since his youth; at the age of 15 he created exclusive outfits for his brother's wedding, his first wide-ranging creation. Wang is a self-made director: he created his own brand and runs it to this day. The company is headquartered in New York, where the young fashion designer's entire design life takes place.

He started his business from high school

The models that Alexander Wang produces reflect contemporary style and street fashion: an oversize cut, a combination of white and black and a concise silhouette. Most of the collections are created with details of different styles, such as: hip-hop, grunge, and in some models there are references to punk.

Elegant cut combined with functionality and comfort especially distinguishes the brand's style. The signature material is knitwear, from which most of the models are made. The company's DNA also includes raw edges and an asymmetrical cut, which emphasizes individuality and unconventionality. All Alexander Wang models are made from premium quality materials, which ensures durability and maximum comfort in use.

The main key products are outerwear, outfits for athletes, basics, luxury accessories and stylish footwear. The brand's target audience is young people who like to stand out and appreciate comfortable clothing with a mix of different styles. World celebrities such as Kylie Jenner and Rihanna wear Alexander Wang collections, which once again emphasizes the status and luxury of the products.

How did Alexander Wang become famous?

As Alexander was interested in fashion from a young age, after 8th grade he took a summer apprenticeship in sewing at Central Saint Martins Academy in London.

The next stage of Alexanderwang's manifestation is a fashion show of his models at his brother's wedding. For this occasion, he prepared 35 outfits designed as wedding looks.

After three years, at the age of 18, Alexander goes to the city of opportunity - New York. There he enrolls at the renowned Parsons School of Design. At the same time, he worked in the shoe department of Barneys and was an intern for Vogue and Teen Vogue magazine.

After a while, in 2004, he dropped out of school and decided to start his own business. Over the next few years, his brand became a newfangled collection of clothing for women.

The year 2007 comes and Alexander Wang presents his models at New York Fashion Week. After the show, he was noticed by Vogue's editor-in-chief Anna Wintour. She used all communications channels to draw attention to the brand.

Thanks to this, in 2008 Alexander Wang received two hundred thousand dollars in funding from Vogue, together with the CFDA Fashion Fund. From then on he started to collaborate with famous brands. In the same year, he made a collection of custom T-shirts for Uniqlo.

After a year, according to Swarovski brand, Alexander was named the best designer of women's clothing, after which he took up a collaboration with the popular firm Gap.

In 2011, the designer received an unusual offer: Starbucks, a coffee corporation, invited Wang to design T-shirts for them in honor of their 40th anniversary.

December 2012. Nicolas Ghesquière - then director of fashion house Balenciaga - announces his resignation after 15 years of hard work. He is replaced by the young Alexander Wang, who was chosen for his debut collection of the same year.

After running his own brand and being creative director at Balenciaga, the hard-working fashion designer takes on a collaboration with H&M. Yet, in order to sustainably develop his own brand, Wang stepped down as creative director of Balenciaga in 2015 to focus as much as possible on his own brand.

The following year proved to be quite difficult for the designer. In 2016, the Alexander Wang brand launched a lawsuit in which it prosecuted various websites that sold knock-offs of its products under its name. The lawsuit was eventually won by Alexander. A few months later, he launches a collaboration with the Adidas Originals brand, creating apparel and footwear for their new line that soon became popular in the streetwear image-loving community.

In 2018 comes the total expansion of the brand, with new boutiques opening in various cities across Asia, the US and Europe. And in 2020, a lingerie line is launched, gracefully complementing the range.

Now Alexander Wang brand continues to collaborate with Adidas Originals to produce joint sports collections.
