The Uma Wang Fall/Winter 2012 collection is softly somber and deeply drenched in dark hues. The newest collection of fashion-forward ensembles released by Wang is full of heavily draped fabrics, textures and gloomy tones. The statuesque model who is elegantly swaddled in these fashions is emotionless and robotic in her demeanor. Instead of a photo shoot that features glitz and glam, Wang and her artistic team have opted for a toned down series of look book photographs.
Wang is well-known in the fashion industry for her style that combines fashion and practicality, as well as the use of various materials and textures. All of Wang's garments are simple, but this in no way detracts from the striking personalities and fine details that emanate from every one of her pieces; this includes her fall/winter collection. Many of the pieces in her newer collection possess a rugged and worn-out look that enhances their personality.
This lookbook shows the Wang-clad model from all 360 degrees, so that the painstaking details and sculptural qualities of this attire can be appreciated and pondered.
