The Alexander Wang S/S '16 collection is a urban line that celebrates the brand's 10 years in the fashion industry. While creative director Alexander Wang has stated this collection is without a concept, there is a clear theme throughout the entire collection.

Composed of 42 looks for both men and women, the Alexander Wang S/S '16 collection is flooded with celebratory apparel fit for stylish rockers and those with a rebellious aesthetic. The [Spring collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-vuitton-springsummer-2026) is not as dark as the brand's all-black F/W '15 collection, but equally as urban.

The Alexander Wang S/S '16 collection features modern apparel with no absence of [distressed denim](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/at-the-edge-of-time), fringed leather pieces, military-inspired garments, lush silk and [bold bomber jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Anna-Suis-SpringSummer-2025).
