The Alexander Wang SS 2011 collection is characterized by light, fluid layers and lifted with metallic accents.
The highlight was undoubtedly a lightweight zip-up jacket, rendered completely in the tin foil technique. Combining interesting shades of pastel and shiny metallics, the Alexander Wang SS 2011 collection is suitable for those fresh spring mornings in an urban city setting.
Implications - The sportswear-inspired collection looks super comfortable and casual. A lot of neutral colors are used, along with brighter shades such as the featured bright green that can be seen on both a jacket and pants. The shiny material adds a nice pop to outfits that would otherwise be quite basic. Alexander Wang's SS 2011 collection is definitely for daring fashionistas.
