With Pre-Fall collections coming to an end to make way for Spring 2012 campaigns and upcoming Fall 2012 runway shows, the Alexander Wang Pre-Fall 2012 collection is a great way to go out with a bang.
The young designer's work has always been referred to as "downtown," but this season, Wang wants fans and critics to realize that since establishing his brand in 2007, he has quickly become an international success and worldwide fashion designer.
For Pre-Fall, he showcased his signature black and gray designs with quirky, schoolgirl detailing that maintained his famous androgynous edge. "We started with the idea of tromp l’oeil, something quite classic but less in a whimsical way and more the idea of deceptive textures and patterns," Wang explains to Fashionologie.
Check out the Alexander Wang Pre-Fall 2012 collection for some inspiration and tips on how to add dark hues to your wardrobe.
