Alexander Wang never fails to deliver attitude in his designs and the Alexander Wang Spring 2012 collection was no exception. While not as rough and tough as the collections of previous seasons, this particular line still held true to Wang's signature blend of badass-chic and sporty style.
The Alexander Wang Spring 2012 show kicked off with a few boxy, relaxed-fit jackets made of mesh, paired with matching bottoms accented with mesh pockets. The rest of the collection was an interesting and eclectic blend of different styles including blue-hued, painterly prints, luxe and velvetly dresses and folk-style graphic sweaters. Several of the outfits looked like prettily printed motorcycle getups, complete with matching printed helmets. The collection also featured a few sleek, sporty and body-conforming track suits.
