# Futuristic Executive Fashions The Alexander Wang Fall 2018 Collection Serves 'Executive Realness' By Rebecca Byers | Published 2018-02-15 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alexander-wang-fall-2018 References: [fashionista](https://fashionista.com/2018/02/alexander-wang-fall-2018-review) His last presentation at New York Fashion Week, the Alexander Wang Fall 2018 show offered a glimpse into the designer's view of "executive realness" with a cyber punk punk influence. Accessories that hit the hybrid theme home include metallic banana clips, sheer black tights (some adorned with "CEO" in [Swarovski](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/opi-celebrated) crystals) and ultra tiny sunglasses (made in collaboration with [Gentle Monster](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samsung-smart-glasses)), while the clothing features a variety of "statement zippers." The collection was predominantly made up of black leather pieces such as long jackets with a handful of white and hot pink looks thrown in. Taking place inside a maze of cubicles in an office building setting, the collection also boasted a handful of grey atheleisure pieces. Known for taking inspiration from close friend Kim Kardashian, the presentation featured slick leather looks that seem to recall fashions from [iconic sci-fi trilogy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fendi-and-mad-architects) 'The Matrix,' which Kim and her sisters can be observed channeling in recent months as well.
