One of the most refreshingly-creative collections seen at New York Fashion Week this September comes to us from young American designer Alexander Wang with his football-inspired fashion collection.
He has taken sports and effortlessly transitioned them into flattering streetwear for the average woman. Blazing line-backer shoulders in hard blacks and whites make for a confident, no-nonsense silhouette, complimented by athletic inspired shorts, underwear and skirts.
Alexander Wang’s football-inspired fashion is further seen through fun details such as soccer-striker shin pads and the hardcore stripes usually attributed to rugby uniforms.
