Famed Chinese-American fashion designer Alexander Wang recently unveiled a [Fall/Winter 2018 collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fall-and-winter-line), which is said to be inspired by [female CEOs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/12th-tribe-x-corporate-natalie). With this in mind, Alexander Wang ties the many different garments and accessories together with a universally bold but highly wearable aesthetic.

A few standout styles from the line include studded purses and miniature backpacks, elegantly distressed tweed shirts, structured leather jackets, boldly branded bedazzled tights, boxy pullovers, and suit-like collared vests. Although many of the garments are ideal for business women looking to make a statement, there's plenty on offer for those who are just looking to add to their [streetwear wardrobes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-corporate-edit) as well.

The whole line is expected to become available in stores shortly, and will also be available online.
